Our last day working in Alaska is about to come to an end. I can't decide if it is a good or a bad thing. We have loved our jobs up here and have loved being in Alaska. Alaska is such a beautfiul place. It is has an indescribable beauty.

I am sitting here at Hotel Alyeska in Girdwood babysitting luggage while our guests are out enjoying Girdwood. They don't leave for the cruise ship until 1:45 pm so we have a room where they can leave a bag or two. Brad is outside in the pouring rain loading a million and a half bags, the other luggage suitcases they couldn't carry with them. There are three tour groups that stayed here last night, probably 200 people or so. You can probably imagine all the bags they bring with them. It's a lot. We load their bags into a luggage truck that takes them down to the ship. As I sit here, I am getting emotional, a part of me doesn't want to leave.

We have had some amazing memeories created here in Alaska. I am so thankful for a Heavenly Father who answers prayers, leads and guides us. If it was not for those answered prayers and the choice to move from Hawaii to Alaska, I would have not found Brad. I am so thankful to have him in my life. He is such an amazing man! I love you honey.

We will start our journey home after we get back to Anchorage this afternoon. We will make it to Tok, AK tonight and tomorrow our journey home will begin. Can't wait to get home and see everyone!!!

DIY Storage Bed

A couple weeks ago I was digging under my bed for my shoes (I'm really organized).  As I reached under there my hand was stabbed by a jagged piece of my box springs.  A little more investigating told me that 5 of the the 10 crossbars on there were cracked in half.   I had always wanted a storage bed but when I saw the prices ($299 and up) online I was taken aback.  I then found this link on Pinterest - Storage Bed Plans - and decided to give it a go.  I priced the wood and decided that with a few tweaks I could make this bed for about half the price of a pre-made storage bed.  Plus those IKEA beds and the like are made out of cheap particle board and veneer.  To be honest, I really thought it was going to take me months to get around to doing it because I know how I usually procrastinate.  I bought the wood on June 30th and started work on it July 4th.  I just finished it today and I have to say that I'm a bit shocked I actually complet...

YESTERDAY WAS A GREAT DAY! WE HAD SO MUCH FUN. ON OUR WAY BACK FROM SODA SPRINGS, WE HAD TO STOP IN POCATELLO AND DROP OFF THOSE SILLY LIFE JACKETS AND OARS @ THE ISU OUTDOOR CENTER. IT STARTED TO HAIL AND RAIN LIKE CRAZY AS WE GOT INTO POKY. THERE WAS ABOUT 6 INCHES OF STANDING RAIN AND THE PUDDLES WERE HUGE. SO WE GOT CLOSER TO IDAHO FALLS, IT STARTED TO CLEAR UP. WHEN WE GOT TO IDAHO FALLS, WE DECIDED WE WOULD GO HIT SOME BALLS AT THE DRIVING RANGE. BY THE TIME WE GOT THERE, THE CLOUDS HAD MOVED IN AND IT STARTED TO RAIN & HAIL AGAIN. WE WERE STUCK AT THE GOLF COURSE UNTIL IT CLEARED UP A LITTLE. AFTER ALL THAT RAIN, THE FRONT OF OUR APARTMENT COMPLEX LAWN WAS FLOODED. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH CHENA TO GET HER IN THE WATER. SHE IS GETTING MUCH BETTER. SHE LOVED IT. WE HAD A FUN 45 MINUTES PLAYING IN THE PUDDLE.
