| Today is 5 months of marriage for us! Caleb brought me a dozen roses :) Our small group leaders are going to be running youth group for the next few months. They never had any desire to do it, but were asked and have been considering it for a bit. They asked us to consider helping with them. We're going to go next Wednesday and see how it goes. I haven't been to youth group in 2 years. I'm excited to get back into it, but Caleb isn't as much. Time will tell what happens with this!
My classes are going fine so far. I found a girl in one of them who attended KBC with me. She transferred to Anchorage for this semester, though, so it will be frustrating to communicate with her about this class. It'll be fun to reconnect with her though.
It's getting dark at 9pm now! I hate impending winter! I wish that winter would go as quickly as summer always seems to.
I need to start studying now. Until I get into the swing of classes, I'm not sure of the frequency of my blogging. It may be more or less or about the same. Just a heads up! | | |
| Well, our governor has been selected McCain's vice president. I had heard rumors several weeks ago, but didn't really want to believe it. I'm not sure what to think of this. I'm excited that Alaska is getting a presence in this election and not just ignored, as usual. Palin has done a good job as governor and I think that she will be an asset to McCain. I don't know how much of her inexperience will be a hindrance though.The main thing I would be iffy about it her family life. She has recently had a baby, born with Down's syndrome and that has to be a challenge for anyone to face, much less someone in such a high office. So we shall see. It's definitely going to be an interesting election! | | |
| Sorry I have been absent! It's been a tiring and whirlwind week.
Tuesday morning early we headed for the fair. We had breakfast with my parents at 7am. It was good to see how Dad is recovering (good). We then headed off down the highway. Caleb has a cold at the moment, so while he drove for about a half hour, he got drowsy and couldn't continue. We made it to the fair at 1:40. We were just in time; at 2pm, they were ending their special admission price of the day of $2 instead of $10.
We walked the shops, looked at the animals, ate junk food (funnel cake, ice cream bar and cotton candy) We went on some rides...I hate the Gravitron. Caleb convinced me to go it, and it didn't sound that bad. He's only ever been on the one in Homer's carnival, though and this one was quite a bit more extreme.
Anyway, with our tickets, we got to play one free game and won a stuffed hand that Caleb will likely put in his car.
After walking and observing for hours, we left the grounds a little before 8. Caleb was more awake this time and drove back to Anchorage. We went to Walmart to do some of our shopping. After that, we went to his brother Christopher's apartment to wait for him to get off of work. It took a lot longer than we were expecting, but it was worth it to get to hang out with him and have a place to sleep!
The next morning, we went the Bagel Restaurant that we went to on our honeymoon. It was, of course, delicious again. We said goodbye to Christopher after our breakfast, and did more shopping. We went to my place of employment in Anchorage, saw the owner of the company (in the 4 or 5 times I've been there, I've not seen him there till now), tried some new candy, and bought a t-shirt. I also kind of met one of the managers I have talked to on the phone.
Next, it was back to Walmart, then Best Buy and Old Navy. We walked out of the latter 2 with nothing. We then went to Bed Bath and Beyond to exchange a wedding gift. We got a couple of needed things, and were on our way. We ate at Pizza Hut in that parking lot and then headed back home. I drove until Girdwood, and Caleb read to me out of the book he is reading. We switched at the gas station and I read to him for well over an hour, and my throat became pretty sore. We switched about 20 miles before Soldotna and I drove the rest of the way home. We stopped at my parent's house again and Mom offered us root beer floats. So that was a nice detour.
We got home at 9:30 and went to work yesterday, exhausted!

In other news, my classes started yesterday. I looked at everything and downloaded syllabuses. I'm going to attempt to start on reading a textbook this morning. This is my last full week of work for a while. Next week I have 3 days, and then I am down to 2 a week for September. I hate going back to school, but I do like cutting back on work.
So that's where I've been. I'll update again when something interesting happens!

| Link LoveI've been wanting to post links of interesting sites and articles for a while and haven't done it yet. I hope to make it happen fairly often.
This Is Sand - a cute little flash page where you can make pictures from dropping sand.
God's Pharmacy Forward - Don't know if all of these are correct, but it sure can't hurt to eat most of these foods, right?
St. Louis Ocarinas - An interesting site that sells ocarinas (ever played Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time?) and tons of song books, even ones that have Zelda songs. They're definitely filling an interesting niche.
Genesis Moments: Man's First Kiss - A writing contest sponsored by a lady in AK, this was the winning entry. I thought it was cute and well written.
Colour Lovers - A unique site on colors. Every entry covers something I would never think to compare or write about. It's really interesting, and they have some beautiful pictures.
Cool Things - Dirty Car Window Art - Insanely good art in that annoying window dirt.
A bookcase and a staircase - I would love this in my house!
That's all for now! | | |
