Golden Spike



Thursday was a good day at work. My colleague Candace and I had to go to Golden Spike National Historic Site to do an inspection. It's not too far away, but it was a beautiful day for a drive. I had never been there before and I was pleasantly surprised at how cool it was. After we did our inspection at the maintenance shed, we headed over to the visitor's center. We got there just in time to see the trains come chuggin' along from the maintenance shed we were just at. They're very cool. We actually got a special tour of inside the trains. The train engineers told us we forgot to inspect the most interesting thing there, so he took us aboard both trains. They are both steam locomotives but one is heated with coal and one is heated with wood. After we had our private little tour aboard the trains, we were climbing down and a visitor asked the engineer if his son could come aboard. "Sorry, said the engineer, we're not allowed to take anyone aboard, but these here are state inspectors." I kind of felt bad, but oh well it's about time I get some perks out of my job! We actually will probably need to do inspections at many of the state's national parks, so this will be a fun summer for work!

Back to Reality

It's finally over! Thanks to everyone who came to the wedding and also to everyone who couldn't make it but wished us well!
A HUGE thanks to my one and only Bax. Despite being busy with her last week of school and getting started with her Master's program she stepped up and helped with so much stuff I can't even begin to list it all. She gets shit done and she may have found a new calling in life, anyone need a wedding planner?
I'll post some pictures as soon as I get them.
Also, if you were at the wedding and I didn't get a chance to talk to you and thank you for coming, I'm so sorry! I tried to talk to everyone, but it went by so fast!
*Oh and one more thing. Karl and I actually forgot to invite some people and didn't realize it until after the wedding when we were talking about everyone we saw and everyone who came. We're basically stupid and have no real excuse other than that. Our worst fear was forgetting to invite people and of course it happened. Hopefully no one will be too upset and understand that we had a big brain fart and it was nothing personal. You can't win 'em all.
