- About Me:
- I'm originally from Ohio, went to college in DC, and have been traveling around the country for the last almost five years with Begee. We've lived in Alaska, Hawaii, Utah, Maine, Florida, Wyoming, New Mexico, California, Louisiana, and Arizona, and separately, I've also lived in Boston, around Ohio, and Iowa. Traveling and writing are my two passions, and I hope to one day be able to survive just doing the two!

Experiencing the West with the One You Love (a Valentine's Blog)
Hello again from the Old West - also known as Arizona. When we last wrote, we were developing a bad case of the Chrismas spirit. Christmas came and went and was very, very busy! We thought Santa came by way of reindeer, but when you work on a ranch, he comes by stagecoach - complete with horses! Our biggest Christmas miracle and present was our engagement! As of Christmas morning, we are officially engaged to be married, and we couldn't be more thrilled and excited about our future!
In other ne… Continue

I'll be home for Christmas...If only in my dreams
One of the hardest parts of working seasonal jobs is that you can't go home for the holidays. Ski resorts, bed & breakfasts, lodges, hotels, and ranches are busiest during the holiday rush. Your family Christmas is most often sacrificed so that other families may have their own memorable holiday... but that doesn't mean the Grinch has stolen our Christmas spirit. Being able to share Christmas with each other is still warm and wonderful, and we've made som…

When are you planning on getting married? That is where you too met right? That is so sweet.
Yes I do know Suzi, we worked together our first summer, we were both Materials person. Then she winter and I came back for another summer (she was gone) and then I wintered , that was in 2007. I got to see Suzi this time around because she was ending her summer season and I was starting another winter season... what a small world... I remember Suzi talking about you....
But I agree, he and I met doing an internship at Disney. We decided to take a month and road trip across the states before going back to school. One of best times we had was when we got stranded in Las Vegas when our car broke down. Its the things that you don't plan that make up the things you remember.
I was reading one of your replys to a forum and I couldnt help but be in awe! 5 year 14 jobs and all with the man you love!! That is exactly what we want to do. My boyfriend spent a year in China, I am going to Alaska this season, but we cant wait to travel together after he graduates. Do you have any advice for people just getting into this fantastic way of life?
