Talked to Nick today!

Man - these phone calls are so life-giving. I got a call from Nick today. They pulled into port and are getting ready to go back out to patrol. In Dutch Harbor, there is no cell service, so the guys have to call from pay phones. Luckily the phones are inside, so their hands don't freeze while talking!

Nick said he and Justin are going to go snowboarding today!! I love it - the boat has a bunch of "morale gear" that they can use, including snowboards. We joked that maybe he will break his arm and get to come home? :/ no, no don't pray for that, although I wish I could see him sooner!!

Another exciting thing...I bought a ticket to fly back to California!! :D I will be coming the first week in March! It was really an encouragement to know that I will be seeing people I love in just one month's time. The Lord knew I would need that to survive this next month.

The Lord has given me another full week with stuff to do: I am going to be house sitting for a friend who lives closer to town. She has a little Weiner dog who kinda looks like this and a cat. They should keep me busy.

I will leave you with a fun Alaska fact: The sun does not rise at Dutch until 10:45 AM! and it started getting dark around dinner time :( Nick will need to soak up a bunch of sun to make up for it after this patrol.

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.
