The one downfall to finding a job that you love doing, is when you sustain an injury on the job and are unable to do that job the following year. This fire season has been the toughest one I have ever endured, and I haven’t stepped foot on the fire line once.

That picture was taken the morning of my last day on fire September 11, 2017. Two hours later I would be walked off the mountains of Montana with a dislocated shoulder.

Since then this is the closest I have gotten to a fire this season do to that injury. The depression I have experienced has been harder than I thought it would be. Like I said in my last post I have never in my life talked about my downs with anyone. But, I started this blog to get out of my comfort zone and so that’s exactly what I am doing. With the help of this... Haha.

There is a VERY big and happy thing happening in August for me though that has kept my head above water this summer and that is the fact that I get to marry my best friend!!

Getting all this off my chest will hopefully remove the cloud of gloom that has been following me around and help me actually be able to right more posts like my first one! Thanks to all who read this. And any and all feedback is more than welcome
