Geez, where to begin? The migration westward from New York went well, except for the loss of my tailpipe somewhere in Iowa and the general demise of my ipod. Being homeless in Wyoming proved to be quite a challenge due to constant snow and/or rain for four weeks.
But everything's coming up roses. I'm working full-time as a bellman at a hotel in Teton Village in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. And I'm working part-time as a bellman at another hotel here in Teton Village. Its relatively easy work and easy money. Today alone I made $165 in tips, plus my hourly wage. Granted, it was a 16 hour work day.
I'm living in Victor, Idaho which is just over Teton Pass in a brand new house with the guy who built the house. Its got exposed beams and all sorts of rustic charm. And there's a trout pond nearby for swimming and a microbrewery and drive-in just down the street!
I feel like there are countless stories from the past couple weeks. But I guess the most important thing is that I am once again in the middle of the mountains with my brother. Let the pointless, unsafe, ludicrous, exhausting, and all together random adventures continue!!!

Hey Cuz~ Glad to hear everything is going well! Since you've traveled from Kentucky to Alaska, to NY to Wyoming (and places in between!).... I've remained in my same little corner of the world! In fact, the desk I'm sitting at and computer I am typing on are in the same exact spot! (and shhh don't tell, but it's likely that the dust I see has been here since the Alaskan adventure!) I suppose you could say there is adventure here, just of a different sort! (Whoever can find a matching pair of socks and shoes wins, or whomever can find Andrew or Blakes glasses ~ which have been found everywhere from the laundry room floor~ in pieces, to out in the backyard as the bus comes down the street), gets a piece of candy, or as we're unloading the van at church and discover a child actually has pajama bottoms on or sandles in the winter, or mismatched shoes.... how fast can Tim race home & back (with child in tow) while I take the other inside! Or finally, the "game" we play way to often, esp with the warmer weather and everyone being up later~ waking up (LATE!) to realize I have a half an hr to get the kids all dressed and out to the bus! Its like a crazy game show challege, and gives you quite the rush when the task is completed with 5 children on the bus, bonuses for having backpacks and lunces along with!
So.... I will check in often eager to hear tales of the Baird Brothers Adventures out in the Great Big World!(Can't wait to hear a bout all the "pointless, ludicrous, exghausting, and random advnetures!" (Did you notice I left out unsafe?:) Just the mom in me I guess!
BTW, like your soundtrack idea. I'll have to think on that for a while! I've been listening to "kid" type music for too long now~ are we allowed to put "The Cheesburger Song" from Veggies Tales :)
Well.... Thats it for now! Hello to Scott! Take care of yourselves and don't do anything too crazy:)
Love, Aim
