twin falls, idaho

the mrs. here. 

you can usually tell me by my lack of capital letters, overuse of commas, love of ellipsis (look it up, i won't tell) and pensive statements or dramatic quotes (usually involving adventure, simplicity, wanting to be home but never wanting a home . . . yada, yada, yada ......) guilty as charged.


i find myself in twin falls, idaho, with mike in the field as an instructor with the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS).  he's been gone for three weeks now, with two to go.  just as with all other courses, we have no contact except for the letters i so eagerly receive mailed to me from the ration planes, donkeys or bears that visit him on the course (ok, not bears).  this has made relocation to the US and settling in idaho quite interesting.  he is guiding in the Wyoming Wilderness and i am starting my new position as an ICU Registered Nurse at St. Luke's Medical Center. Idaho has blown me away, and will continue to do so i am sure.  between the beautiful people, winding trails, rushing waters, small town charm, endless fields and rugged mountains..... i believe we have decades of adventure to be had in this grossly underrated state.



from our cross country travel of Australia to the relocation across the United States, with so many unknowns, it feels good to be here.  i have recently moved us in to a charming two bedroom, one bath home on endless acres of farmland about 20 minutes outside of town, with mike joining me this week.  the space generously provides us with kind neighbors, room for chickens, gardens, baking, creating, canning, preserving, slack lining and hammock napping - all thanks to the generosity of beautiful friends.  i will post images soon, but you can also find us on instagram as @mikeynat ........


welcome to our adventure.  never neglect your own,

nat
