This picture of Ian as a boy was taken through a glass frame. I don’t have a current picture of him.
RIP Ian Izzett

Training Tucson
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Now that Thanksgiving is over, I have something really wonderful to be thankful for. Tucson is finally getting training! Continue reading
Job search
Before we left Wisconsin, Mark and I tried applying for several different jobs. On our trip out here, I had a telephone interview for one of the jobs I applied to. Monday morning, I went to fill out the paperwork for the background check at that company. Mark and I have been waiting to hear back from a couple of employers. Continue reading
From Milwaukie, OR
We finally made it here. We arrived around noon and then Mark tried to get everything set up. For some reason, our electrical keeps tripping the breaker, so we will need to use the generator in the RV until Mark can find the parts to fix it. We also need to get another hose so we can hook up to water. We are just really happy to have landed, and the family has been contacting us to welcome us back. Since I wasn’t able to show pictures from yesterday, I’ll include some of those today. Continue reading
From Hood River, OR
So close and yet so far! It was after dark when we arrived in Hood River. As soon as we entered the Gorge, we ran into strong winds. Mark was exhausted by the time we got here. Continue reading
From Missoula, MT
We woke up this morning to a bright, blue sky. What a beautiful way to start the day! Mark checked the weather report online and discovered that even if we had taken the southern route, we would have run into snow storms. What’s more, we got out of Wisconsin before this storm was expected to drop three inches of snow there! Continue reading
From Billings, MT
It was 15° F when we got up this morning, but there was some sunshine, so we were encouraged. We had hoped to make it to at least Missoula, MT by tonight. Continue reading
From Mandan, ND
There were two very good reasons why Mark chose to go the northern route across the country this time: 1) We were leaving Wisconsin five days later than we had hoped and this is the shorter, more direct route, and 2) in looking ahead at the weather report across the country for this week, it showed rain but no snow.
From St Paul, MN
We have finally left Wisconsin. I am running low on battery, so I may not have time to write much, but I wanted to at least let you all know we are on the move. I’ll write more when I can charge my computer back up. Continue reading
Go!
We’re in the RV! It’s still parked in our driveway, but we hope to leave as early as possible in the morning. Continue reading
