Hello all! My name is Dawn, and i'm a SAHM to my 2 sweet boys, Gage and Trace. Currently we live in Chicago (Aurora to be exact) but are coming back to Wyoming! We couldn't be MORE excited! Here's our wandering story...:rolleyes:

My DH and i are both from Texas. When we got together, we decided wth...let's move somewhere. We decided to move to the mountains of Colorado where my cousin lived. Lived in Glenwood Springs for 3 years, decided we couldn't take it anymore ( very reserved people, super high cost of living, and tons of tourists) and Dh got a job in Rawlins Wyoming. We didn't care for Rawlins, so we moved to Encampment (out of Saratoga) and LOVE LOVE LOVE it there. The problem?? its 80 miles from the nearest Walmart and hospital. We are both RN's so that's a LONG commute in the winter on those frozen roads to work! So DH got transferred up here, gave it a shot, and HATES it. ABSOLUTELY HATES IT. He wants to go back to cowboy country and raise our boys in the mountains! lol Frankly i'm excited! i hope to meet more moms now that i have a car ( i didn't when we lived there before, so it was hard to meet others) so hopefully things will pan out with that. I can't wait to get back in the mountains! We will be moving to Casper, he got an excellent job offer there. I'm still a SAHM, and just found out YESTERDAY that i'm pregnant with our 3rd baby. :eek :eek To say i'm shocked is putting it MILD, and my 9 mth old nurses like crazy, so i guess i'll be tandem nursing. :jaw That's a WHOLE 'NOTHER post! lol Anyway just wanted to say hi and see who's around!!

I'm a bit delayed on a reply to your post, but haven't spent much time on the internet this past year. I am also a SAHM with two little boys. We are in Rawlins and moving to Saratoga (Rawlins is ok, but Saratoga is soooo lovely)-- hubby will be doing the big commute to Rawlins. We hope we don't grow to dislike that part of living there. For now it is spring and the roads are dry...

How's Casper?? Of the "big cities" in Wyoming, Casper is very nice (it has the only Target store in Wyoming if I am not mistaken).

All's well with the number 3 addition?

If you would like to visit your old stomping grounds Saratoga/Encampment, drop me a line. I am always eager and excited to meet like-minded folks...

Take care.

Sarah

Hi! Some of us SAHM's and our kiddos often journey to Rawlins on Fridays for the Mom's and Tot's swim time at the high school pool (it's free!).

It'll be a couple of weeks. I filling in as babysitter to my sister's 4 year old while she's in her last semester of Nursing school - but just until the end of the month! Then we'll be there. I wish I didn't have to wait!!!

I live near Baggs and am only an hour from Encampment in the summer. I really prefer rural living to being in town.
