3 days into it...
and still alive. School that is. Hans and I started back to school on Monday. He had a mishap and wasn't on the list to get onto the base up here that his night class was at... so no class for Hans on Monday. I, on the other hand have had 3 days of fun!! :) It is actually pretty fun to have a goal and learn a lot of new things. I always did like to learn, just didn't always love the homework. For the next 2 years at least teeth are going to be my life. Good times.

Summer Fun
So we have been having some fun this past month or so and I haven't had any time to blog. Plus I was trying to upload photos and they weren't working on here. I added them on facebook so you can check the album out there or click or use this link: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=290530&id=530165787
That shows some of the highlights of what we have been up to. We have been camping a few times.. once by ourselves 4th of July weekend and then twice since then with the Matthews. We have had a fun time with them exploring new parts of Alaska.
There are many photos of just scenery so I apologize for that but it is just so beautiful up here right now. We are getting to know some people in our ward and have had a few dinner/game nights with them. On Hans' birthday in July we had a fondue party (Hans and my first time) It was a lot of fun. The next day I made dinner--Hans ordered it and we had Lyle and the Matthews over to celebrate with us.
I am winding down at work. I only have 4 days left! Hans is working as a weatherization tech for the municipality up here and is enjoying it. He is learning so much and will be able to make whatever place we live in better for us in the future. Too bad he didn't know all this back in the ice box blue house in Ketchikan...
We start school on the 24th and I am very excited for that. Hans will be going at night and working full time still. We will be busy, busy but that is good right? Keeps us out of trouble.
I hope all is well for you guys. We are doing well. Did I mention that I got a car? We found a used 2 door Acura that is working well for us. I drive it mostly and we take it to buzz around town and we have even taken it camping. It has done more off roading than I ever did with my 4 runner Gracie. Pretty funny.
Anywho we shall see if I can keep better track of this in the future. No promises but I will try.

Hans' AK album
These are but a few of the many things we see up here in the wilderness. I figured since Hans already had so many I would just go ahead and use them to show some of the scenery. CLICK on the photo to see our album in progress

Ready to take on the world. We like this one because it is different and if you look closely, we have the same look. Interesting isn't it?
