No internet = no new posts

In order to go somewhere with free wireless internet we need a public library card. In order to get a public library card, we need a post office box. In order to get a post office box we need a copy of our lease to prove residency in West Yellowstone. In order to get THAT, we need to hound our landlord into giving us one. In order to hound him, we need to make a few phone calls.

Needless to say, it's a process. BUT... first step is done, we have a paper to take to the post office to prove we our semi-permanent residents here. So, first thing tomorrow morning we're headed to get our box, then to get our library cards! THEN... oh joyful free wireless internet here I come!

We can definitely do without having it at the house (we both have smart phones capable of getting online), but once we run out of How I Met Your Mother episodes (I have seasons 1-5 bought in China for $5 TOTAL... And the show we HIGHLY recommend), it's gonna get pretty boring around the cabin.

However, we DO realize that once the weather gets better (which should be here in the next couple weeks - although they got their last 8' snow storm last year JUNE 19TH!!), we know we won't be in the cabin too much. We are LITERALLY a 2 minute drive (if that) to the west entrance of the park, and are 2 hours from a ton of 'out west attractions.' In fact, tomorrow we both have the day off so we're headed to see Old Faithful. I CAN'T WAIT!!!! We'll be buying a season long park pass for $60, then taking a couple pack lunches into the beauty and grandeur.

We still can't believe we actually live here. I'll be sure to write more on our little town later (complete with pictures), and write about our cabin, workplace, hot spots, and view!




P.S. It's Mother's Day, so this post would not be complete without a shout out to the most amazing woman I know. It's true that the older I get, the more I appreciate all that she has done for me, my siblings, and my family as a whole. I hope to be half the woman she is to my future kids (maybe without the whole 'purposely shutting her leopard print dress in the JAG car door when picking us up from school' thing). I love you, Momma! And to all the incredible 'moms' in my life that have been/are there for me: Grandma, Mother Kat, my Aunts, my new Mama Cindy, etc etc etc... I am one lucky gal.
