Happy Winter Solstice! The shortest day of the year and here we are sitting in an airport making our way back to the east coast to celebrate Christmas with family. A lot has happened since I last wrote about our lives. This year hasn’t been easy for us, lots of adventure and heartache. But we…

Life has been a little crazy and different right now. Trying to find a new routine that works best for us has been a wild ride, that is part of the reason why I haven’t been on top of the blog posts. When I remember Sunday morning I think I have all day. Then we…

The last two weeks have gone by so quickly. It all started with our first visitors of the summer. My mom and her friend landed Thursday July 7. It was so nice to have my mom out and show her around our new world. Friday was spent with me showing them around Fairbanks. First stop…

Last Sunday there was no update due to me being sick the entire week after returning from vacation. Then over that weekend Benjamin got really sick. Therefore we did nothing that whole week. We stayed home, relaxed and slept. Not a whole lot to talk about. Thankfully by last Tuesday we were both a lot…

This week started out with a birthday celebration! Monday was Benjamin’s 23rd birthday! We had the typical birthday dinner that Benjamin has had for many years. Cheeseburgers, pasta salad and chips. Was the perfect dinner. We had a great time celebrating Benjamin. This week warmed up. Most days was the high 60’s with end of…

Well, the melt came to a slight halt. This week the weather wasn’t the best. Most of the week it was rainy. Monday and Tuesday it snowed. It is strange to see it snowing in May. Not something we expected. Since it would rain right after, the snow didn’t last long. By the end of…
