Considering it’s the last week of September already, I guess I can officially say that summer is over 🙁 Luckily for me though, that doesn’t mean the end of my work term! My position with Tolko actually runs for 8 months, which means I will still be working here until December. As all of the other summer bloggers are undoubtedly heading back to school to finish their studies,

Okay friends, it’s time I gave you an update on all the exciting things I’ve been doing at work. Because believe me, it has been VERY exciting (at least to me).
The project that I have been working on for the past 4 months (the one I described in blog #2) is finally being rolled out into the Sawmill.

This past month my boss was ever so gracious to give me a week off work so that I could embark on a great adventure down to California. This wasn’t just any ordinary trip to California though, we were convoying down with 25 other people, down the Oregon coast, through the sand dunes, driving through redwood trees, and cruising over the Golden Gate Bridge.

Because if you’re anything like I was before I started here, you probably have no idea what happens inside those big buildings that bring in logs and miraculously spit out lumber.
So let’s start at the beginning.

Hello everyone! I wanted to take this blog to tell you a little bit about the adventures, the camping, and the road trips I’ve taken so far this summer.
In mid-June Brendan and I went on a spontaneous weekend camping trip with my sister and her husband. We drove out to Merritt (about an hour away from us) to a beautiful provincial park called Kentucky Alleyne Lake!

Hello again!
For those of you who read my previous post and played the little game at the end, here’s the truth and lies. Believe it or not, I am just as nerdy as it seems; I do have 50 digits of pi memorized and I can solve a rubik’s cube in 90 seconds. I have also been known to rip a few phone books in half,

Hello everyone, my name is Jess!
I’m honored to have you following along with my adventures this summer! Let me first tell you a little bit about myself. I am 23 years old and currently studying Mechanical Engineering at UBC Okanagan in Kelowna, BC. Kelowna has been home to me for the majority of my life, having moved here from Gillam,
