Aloha Alaska

Nick heads off to Dutch Harbor today. He has been in Kodiak since Wednesday so I was able to talk to him on the phone (He gets cell service in Kodiak, but no where else). It was really great to be able to talk to him the last two days, but was hard to say goodbye last night. It is around 30 degrees on the ground in Dutch (which means it is much colder on the boat), but that is still warmer than most of the mid-west! My mom says she prays for Nick every time it gets below zero :)

I am grateful that my mom-in-love took pictures when she got to see Nick in San Francisco. I keep looking at them over and over...just wanted to share them with you :)





(I love pictures of Nick with a camera)

Well, we are about 20 days down. I hope the next 20 go just as fast!

This is a picture from Christmas day, when Meem, Nick and I got to go and play around the island. It was a Christmas day that will always be etched in my mind. I am forever grateful for that week we had all together. M is a pretty good photographer too!

Christmas in July

All of our belongings arrived this morning! We have it all! Big truck, three huge crates and a team of 5 showed up on the doorstep at 8:45 AM this morning. They must have thought I was weird - as each item came through the door I got the hugest smile! Like "oh, there is the table from the Hargroves...and there are the couches...boxes of wedding gifts I have not opened yet!..." you get the idea. Here is our bedroom before... and after! Living room before... And after! Kitchen before... And After!! The movers only took one hour to get it all into the house. The first thing I did when they left? Sat down on the couch in the living room. I just remember sitting on them at the parent-Dellar's house and all the fun times I have had at their house; the BBQs, the prayer nights and Bible studies, cuddling up on them when Nick was gone (in Kona, Cape May, Virginia, Honolulu). And NOW I am sitting on them in our house here! I just couldn't believe it. THEN the thought entered my...

The Best Things In Life Are For Free

Well not completely free, actually this chair was $2.00 at a garage sale down the street, and the paint was $10.00 at the Home Depot. the cool life ring we found in the dumpster, and its from a Panamanian Ship, so really it is the only thing that was for free. so all together I guess $12.00 is not so bad for a little beach flare around the house. The drift wood and coral were free! Here you go Mom just like I promised, my newly reorganized closet. And for all you male bloggers out there (So you don't pull my Man-card) My Alpha Black -Dual weaver tactical rail mounts with fore grip. -Raised scope rail mounting system. -Nc Star Red dot sight. -And a Black Hawk 1pt tactical sling.
