I'm Here: Idaho
by Boundless Community on 12/15/2009 at 4:25 PM
Hi Boundless!
I live and work here in southwestern Idaho. The Sawtooth mountain range seen in the picture is famous for its great camping, hiking, and hunting areas. It's so beautiful, even breathtaking at times.
Thanks so much for all the work your staff puts into leading and encouraging people all over the world, in Christ. Your articles and discussions are edifying and given me a more Biblical understanding of several key life issues.
Marie

Hey miss Idaho, I lived in Nampa Idaho for two years. Are you right above Boise? Anyway, hope the snow isn't too overwhelming. I miss the beauty of Idaho, but don't miss the snow or Ice. I was born and raised in California so that's why. Lived in Idaho for two years to help with a church plant. Things didn't work out, so were back in Cali. I have to say I've missed Cali and glad to be back. But Idaho is a very beautiful place and would love to visit again. God Bless and its great to know someone else who lived out there, enjoys boundless too. God Bless you in your continued pursuit of the Lord.

That is so cool. I am from Idaho as well but currently living in VA where I went to college. It is nice to see someone else who is an avid reader of boundless from my not so known state. :)

Mishy from SouthBayAreaCali -
Thanks! I'm actually from California too, but now live in Boise. The picture is from an amazingly fun camping trip last summer.
I've never met anybody who didn't like Idaho. :-)

To Marie-
Cool so you do live in Boise. Originally you are from Cali, great. I went to Capital Christian Center for a time in Meridan Idaho. Great church, I miss Pastor Ken Wilde and his kids who are all pastor's. Their worship was totally awesome, and the word was for sure good and powerful. The church is huge and it was hard to connect with a lot of people cause there were so many to meet. : ) That camping trip looked like it was awesome. Anyway, great to have a response back from you. I wasn't really expecting one to be honest. haha!
And I've never met anybody who didn't like California. Although some of the people in Idaho that I did meet blamed Cali for their crime, when really crime is everywhere. People are so funny! Oh also I worked for Paul's Market in Nampa. Great family owned stores! That was one of my best cashier/grocery jobs ever. Everyone seemed so friendly and got to know me. I miss that here in Cali. : ) Take care Marie, and thanks! :0)

Haha. I'd seen comments by another Marie on Boundless. Hey Marie! Nice to see where you live! I'm in the neighboring state of Utah. :)

Thanks for sharing this pic! I am originally from the West-Central mountains of Idaho. This will be the first Christmas I am not "home" in Idaho. Pretty homesick to say the least. There is nothing like it!!
