Electricity, E--lec--tricity...

My husband got a job as a cook at White Wolf, one of the high camps between Yosemite Valley and Toulumne Meadows. He'll be training under the head chef, and running the kitchen when the chef is off. It's exactly what he's wanted. I got a job at the front office, right next door to him. I'll basically be doing what I do now, only I'll be getting paid manager scale. It's a good deal. The only downside? Our housing there has no electricity. Ponder that.

Ummmm..

That could cause a minor problem ... maybe along the lines of heat, hot water, lights, etc... glad I send you my package when I did .. you are going to need it girlfriend. On the bright side ... congrats to you and hubby on the new job promotions!!

I got your package tonight! I scared my husband, I was squealing "Monkey Socks!" so loudly. I'm so excited. I'm wearing the socks and the scarf and the gloves tomorrow. I'm going to need to grow a few more hands though, lol! You are super sweet. And just plain super.

Thank you So So much!
Warm, Fuzzy Hugs and Things,

I got so excited about the package -- I forgot to respond to anything else! My husband and I are committed to our current jobs through the end of the season, so we won't be moving for at least a month. Probably two or three. By then I won't be worried about heat and such, and they do provide kerosene lamps. They're good about covering essentials. I will miss having a fan in the summer, but most of all I'm going to miss this computer!
The congratulations are welcomed. It will be fun. It will be worth it. [I need to keep writing that until I believe it]

well, it will be a good excuse for the two of you to cuddle a whole lot ;)

Aww, yeah. We can get back in the habit of reading to each other, too. Talking, even. Once the computer isn't hoarding my attention...

No electricity? That scares me. What about TV, and internat, and microwaves... I mean wow. Seriously this boggles my mind. Conrats to you and the hubby though.

Random question. Did you ever get the X-mas package I sent you? If not I need your adress again, for Valentines.

My thoughts exactly. With the tv and the internet and the *boggles*.
Part of me is really looking forward to it though. Change is good...

X-mas package? You sent me an X-mas package? :(
I don't think I got it.
I hope I didn't get it and forget to thank you--that would be lame of me. Well, I send you my address, and I'll keep my eyes open!

well it came back to me once saying "insuficient adress" and I sent it again and haven't seen it again.

Down to the basics doesn't have to be bad. Congrats on your new jobs! They sound just great!

That was my husband's reaction too! He's actually really excited about it. His enthusiasm will win me over soon, I'm sure. :)
Thank you! I am thrilled about our jobs.

Congrats! Maybe you visit a library and talk to us there?

Re:

[identity profile] bubbles79.livejournal.com 2004-02-13 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! No library, though. No gym. No grocery. They do provide at least two squares a day, so we'll be ok. We've been left to our own devices before and had fun with it. Of course, that was pre-LJ. Oh, I'm gonna miss you guys!

whoa...so, we'll have to resort to snail mail writing? It might be fun to get letters!
