Year in Review

One year from yesterday my husband and I said "I Do"...seems like it was just yesterday. Bek flew in for a few days and that was so special :). It meant so much to have at least part of my family there. It was very special for Anthony that his family was able to see him married....and his Grandpa married us. The only way the day could have been any better was if the rest of my family and friends could have been there. It has been an amazing year...

We honeymooned in Oct on a carribean cruise....sailing to Grand Cayman, Belize, Honduras and Mexico...the most amazing experiance of our married life :) Those countries were beautiful!

We had a great time just relaxing on Miami Beach...enjoying being togeather.

Lookig forward to the next year!

First Anniversary

Today is our first anniversary. Hard to believe it has already been a year, it has gone by SO fast. In some ways though, it seems like we have been married forEVER lol. It has been the best year of my life though. Wish I had some pictures to post from the last year, but it turns out we still don't have our internet hooked up. People move at their own pace out here...slow. Hopefully though we will have it hooked up by tonight. We stopped by Post and I am stealing a few minutes on Anthony's computer here, so it will have to be short. I miss everyone back home (especially my chub) and hope we will be able to visit soon...maybe in May. Hope everyone is doing well....I like phone calls....emails....texts...visits, lol....

One week down

We got our phones in today...SO happy about that. Service is sketchy, but it's better than not having a phone! Our Internet has been in and out also, thankfully it is working tonight lol. Anthony went to hang out with the boys, they are having Poker Night at one of the local officer's house. We are starting to settle in here - and our house is starting to look like a home. I DO love the weather...so much warmer than Fairbanks. My hair loves the weather too...my curls are making a come-back. :) I will post pictures of the house once we finish setting it up. I have to buy curtains for all my windows at some point...turns out finding curtains that arn't almost 90" long is proving difficult...ridiculous. I should know something about the job I interviewed for by the end of the week...and I am looking into some different options too. Anyway, I'm back online so give me a call!!

A day for french toast...

This morning we slept in, then for breakfast I made some tasty french toast, eggs and bacon. Then we decided to get presentable lol...
We spent a large portion of the day at DOT cleaning out Anthony's new patrol veh...it was so bad it really just needed to be torched.

The movers are flying out in the morning to move us in...we are very excited to get settled into our new house. My interview is tomorow also, so it will be a busy day...

Night all!

First Impressions...

...windy...cut-off....why can't it look like Homer......
So everyone here keeps asking me what I think....and I honestly have to say I don't know yet. It's not exactly what I expected, that's for sure. I think it will be really pretty in the summer. You can see the ocean from the road leading to our house. There are two smallish local stores that charge you an arm, leg and possibly a liver depending on what you want. On the up side, it is much warmer than Fairbanks.
I am trying REALLY hard to have a good attitude and not decide that I hate it here. Anthony is super excited so it is important to keep an open mind. I DO have an interview on Friday afternoon for the position at AST. I have met most of the guys here and we seem to have a good group.
The movers will be here to move us into our house on Friday morning. It will be nice to get settled down...and have our stuff. We are staying in a little furnished bed and breakfast right now...it's called Caribou Cabin. There is a flat screen w/dish network...Anthony is happily watching the sports channel lol.
I'm proud to say I kept the water works at bay through all the goodbyes...up until last night. Yesterday was a really long day. We only managed to get about 4 hrs of sleep on our last night there, then we got up, finished getting packed and headed to the airport. Jenni met us there for a quick goodbye and we were on our way. We spent all morning flying then arrived in Dillingham with no cell reception. As you can guess, we were REALLY unhappy. After stopping by post and picking up a veh we headed to our new place to do a walk-through. All of the appliances were decrepit and that was a big issue. I'm glad to report that as of today they have all been replaced. Then we spend hrs on the phone ironing out issues like GCI and dealing with the movers.
I will post pictures as soon as possible. And hopefully soon I will have a working phone again.
Will post more later...hope everyone is doing well!

A little update

We arrived safely in Dillingham late this morning. The phones that GCI told us would work "great" out here don't work. So we are officially cut off from the ENTIRE world...I just happened to steal a few moments on a computer at the office. We are working on having new phones shipped to us as soon as possible....will update more later when I have a chance!

Goodbyes...

I hate goodbyes...they are so depressing. So far I have not cryed...I'm saving it all up for when I'm gone lol. This morning I had to say goodbye to my good friend Roxy....it made me sad. Rox is an awesome girl...if she's around your sure to have a good time. :) We were there for each other at work...not sure what I would have done without her...love ya Rox!

Tomorrow I will have to say goodbye to more people I love...like my mom. I will miss her sooo much. I will miss stopping by her work and spending her lunch break with her...

My sister....really not sure what I'm gonna do without her. She's my best friend.

My gurl Jenni...she is the kind of friend you can go months without talking to and when you see each other you just pick right up where you left off...like you talk every day. :)

Phil, Jenn and the boys :) It's always a crazy, good time when they are around.

I will really miss having my sisters just a few minutes away.

Not much more to say....I love you all, come see us in Dillingham!
