During a layover on our flight home from Europe, I found out that one of my co-workers had been hospitalized with a fairly serious health issue. Since I was the only person in the Department that knew the full scope of her job, it was up to me to carry most of the load until she was back on her feet. So for the next several weeks, I was holding down two full time jobs. Jordan, in the interim, came home to discover that the hospital would most likely be moving ahead with over $25 million worth of expansion and renovation projects over the next few years - all with him serving as project manager. Chaotic is/was an understatement.
Thanksgiving was a wonderful time with lots of members of the extended Lentz' family, but it flew by and we were well into December before we were able to briefly pause and regroup by taking a day trip up to our beloved Big Horns.
There hadn't been a lot snow in the mountains yet, so we decided to try to trudge our way up to the Black Mountain fire lookout, perched on the highest point in the photo above.
At a height of 9500 feet (the last couple hundred of which were in knee deep snow), the lookout offers 360 degree views of the plains (including Sheridan in the middle of the photo below) and surrounding mountains.
Spending the day enjoying God's creation was just what we needed. We can hardly wait until the spring melt off when we can hike some more!
