Brk day 9

It’s been a cold and drizzzzly past couple days, but I think everyone enjoyed the excuse to take things a little slower where they could.

Brk day 10

Lots of people arriving and all of us in preparation for the upcoming events gave me the jolt I needed and pulled me out of the little slump I’ve been in. I enjoyed the bustle and chaos of the kitchen around dinner time with music playing, bodies in constant motion and lots of laughter. It feels really good to have new people in the Wheaton labs soup!

Brk day 11

More people continues to be more fun! Especially when all those people are excited to be here and learn. About 12 of us took a trip to a little diner, (that had non-dairy soft serve 😵🌟) and something so simple as ice cream and fries on a sunny afternoon was perfect about bringing us together for a lovely time (with more laughter!)

I really hope so! I'm gonna try to make my way there as soon as I can manage it. I'm only 2 states away, so the distance isn't an issue. I just have to settle my affairs over here in Washington, then head to Montana.
