Training, Casper Mountain, Sidelines, TIC Shop, and Travels to Big Piney

So I started writing each day and the internet was dumb so this is gonna be a little different setup for my post. sorry guys!

Tuesday:
Well everyone today was AWESOME!! Work itself was slow and kind of uninteresting, however that was the only part of the day that was! After we got done with work all of the interns drove up to Casper Mountain and had a bonfire on the mountain by a creek with a waterfall. Yup pretty much the most beautiful thing ever!! Today I feel like there's not near as much to say as there is to show, so here's a whole bunch of pictures!!
On the way to a campfire on Casper Mountain!

More Casper Mountain

And Again Casper Mountain!

I love this one. We were out of town here and on our way up!

God's Country

At the site of all the campfire pits. We were walking up to see the waterfall!

Creek that comes from the waterfall


More Pretty Creek Pics

Beautiful Scenery!
Closer to the Waterfall it got even more beautiful!


A view of it from afar

the view straight up. It gave me the woogadies because it actually tilted in and hung over a little. When you looked straight up it totally threw you off.

Me next to the waterfall

The waterfall all alone

I decided to climb. Apparently the girl next to me was unaware of the photo op. haha!

More climbing!


this is a series of pics. lol. I decided to climb down a snow pile....

I ended up sliding on my bum!

Then I tried to step ladder down so I wouldn't slide into the creek. You can't see it but it's literally at the edge of the snow pile! 


I succeeded at an awesome posed pic!


I love this one!

This was our amazing cooking on the campfire!

Hard to see but thats a crowbar and carpenters Triangle we were using for utensils!! AWESOME!!

The group!


One last great pic of the mountain!

Wednesday:
Today TIC took us out to dinner at a nice steakhouse called Poor Boys. It was AMAZING!! we could order anything and everything we wanted. food, drink, apps, desserts there was no limit! Awesome right! Than we all went back to the hotel and then everyone that was of age went out to a awesome bar called sidelines for wristband night. No pics of that though. Family blog is my policy! 
Coworkers Lewis and Morgan at Poor Boys!!

Kyle is off to the left there. But the main point of this picture is Ryan who we called wee man...cuz he was so short got a giant beer and we thought it was funny that it was so big haha!!

The view of the mountains as we were driving back from dinner

So the next few pictures are us in the back of the pickup because it's totally legal in Wyoming to ride anywhere in the bed of the pickup. AWESOM!! That's Lewis again! 
RANGER PANTIES!! {inside joke ;) }

That's Ryan B.

Morgan, Myself and Josh
Thursday:
We went out to the shop for dinner and had a barbeque. Nothing too crazy so there's no awesome pics. haha! It was nice and low key and then I went home and went to sleep.

Friday:
Last day of orientation week!! I had an amazing week with everyone. We finished the day and then we went to help an employee at TIC move into a new house...that was goregeous!! Than we all went to an amazing local diner called Johnny J's it was awesome. Then we did the best thing ever...we went to a Cowboy Bar!! It rocked. I got to dance and it was soooo much fun!! I finally fit in! It was so much fun!!

Saturday:
It was our last day together as interns so we went out to an amazingly awesome expensive restaurant and then went to see Hangover II. It was a good night. Man I'm gonna miss everyone!
Morgan Halie and I having a ladies meeting at the bar before the guys came!

Very girlie but very yummy!

Westen. Big Scary football player drinking a girlie drink with his pinkie out. Yea that's a man! HAHA!!

Sunday:
Travels to Big Piney were beautiful but crazy. I literally drove through 2-3 inches of slush for quite a ways!! It was ridiculous but amazing!
This was a pic I had to take on my way out of Casper cuz it says drive up Liquor store....RIDICULOUS!! (They're everywhere here. literally every liqour store has a drive up!)

the next are just a bunch of beautiful scenery!








This was absolutely breath taking!!


SNOW!!!!





I stopped at a rest stop to have a snack. Everyone was calling me crazy because I said that I was feeling icky because of the altitude change. These chips were left from my last meal in fargo......THEY BLEW UP!! See it is different!!!

Big Piney:
I don't have much for pictures yet because I've been busy. Work is incredible. I absolutely love my job!! It's definitely lonely here though. I miss everyone lots and lots!!
this picture as well as the one after were taken from Westen's porch on his apt here in big piney. It's beautiful Everywhere here!!
