Title: New Job........New Location!
Post by: hobbes on August 25, 2011, 01:15:34 PM
I've had quite a bit going in the last two weeks.  My mind has been spinning and my stomach in knots most of the time.  However, I feel a little more at ease at this point because the decision is now behind me.

This morning I made the phone call to accept a position with the State of Montana Department of Transportation in Helena, MT.  I've also given notice this morning to my current employer.  I will start in Helena on the 19th of September. 

I'll be in a whirlwind for the next three weeks trying to wrap up some sort of contract on my house here and set up a rental in MT.

Archery season starts here in CO on Saturday, so I'm hoping to pull an elk out of the hat and fill our freezer before we leave.  I'm usually holding off for a bull, but I'll shoot any legal elk if given the opportunity.  The wife and kids are all exited about the move.  However, Isaac is a little bummed because I don't think there is anyway for me to make it back down here in a month for him to hunt with his first rifle elk tag.


Anyway........................Prayers would be appreciated.

Good Luck with the move.  I spent some time in Helena last year and it is truly a beautiful place and the people were very nice.

I'll have to do some driving to get into the turkeys very well, but I've become accostomed to that.  I could do without the grizzly and the wolves.  With the removal of wolves from the endangered species list and the approval of MT wolf hunts, maybe I can put an arrow or bullet through a wolf in the next couple years.

Also, I was set to draw a Plains (Bonny Reservoir) tag next year for my Rio (same tag Isaac had this year), but now as a NR I won't have enough points to draw.  I'll have to be sure to keep picking up the pts, so I can draw in a few years.

Moving can be stressful,  most Baptist Preachers know,   but it sounds like this move will be a step up ,  Keep us posted.   We will be praying for you.

Thanks for the prayers and well wishes. 

I watched a herd of elk this morning that we are going to try and get on in the morning.  I don't doubt we'll be on them in form or fashion, but weather its on our terms or theirs is the question.  I need to go out with one last elk in CO.
