New Adventure of Life

A Beautiful sunset The Russian Mountains I love mountains and I love looking at them. Today as I was heading to the post office to check mail I decided to take a different way. I am so glad I did. The view of the clouds on top of the mountains was amazing. I wish I had my camera with me so I could share it with everyone. It was the coolest looking cloud. I don't even know how to describe it, but it was kinda like a think spiral coming out of the mountain. It was skinning at the bottom and it got bigger as it went higher and touched the other clouds.  Almost everyday when I go to the other side of town I am always amazed at the mountains. I thank God for sending me James and having him called out here to Alaska. I so thankful that I get to see them almost everyday. The only days I don't get to see them is when I don't leave the house. 

This morning I woke up missing a special 3 year old boy. My nephew Jack.  I was thinking about when he wanted to help me with laundry once in awhile. He would go downstairs with me without socks on I normally had my slippers on since it was cold. We get downstairs to flip the load of cloths over but Jack would not move because he needed my slippers so his feet didn't get cold. Well I would give him my slippers so he could help me. He always helped but clothes in the washer after I put the soap in. I miss having him help me do a bunch of random cleaning projects around the house. He would always want to help James and I clean our room especially when we started to pack for moving to Alaska. In our room we had an airplane mailbox that was from our wedding which our cards were put in. Jack loved finding anything in that airplane. He found enjoyment in it. When we moved we left it with him since it was to big to pack. I don't know what my sister did with it. I just remember opening...

When I was around 14ish my older sister got married, so I ended up with my own room. None of my 3 younger sisters wanted to share a room, also I really didn't want to share haha. Anyways, we use to have this piano that sat in our living room. Whenever we would have a lot of people come over my mom would put this piano in my room. Okay this isn't a piano that is easy to move, it was big and tall upright piano. After a while my mom just left in my room and it started to collect junk. What I remember about this piano is that when I was really bored I would sing using a brush or my tooth brush and I would stand on the bench playing music really loud and singing louder then the music. The songs I usually sang the most were by Point of Grace. (I use to love them when I was younger.)  Lately I have been having flashbacks of my childhood. James' aunt is always playing music so when I hear a certain song in my head I'm like oh that's a song my mom would play and it would mea...

Lately I have been addicted to Amazon.com. I have been finding some awesome deals there. I look for stuff that James and I can use/ need for life out here in Alaska because I can't just hop in a car a go to the store. I just bought us some awesome rain boats. I got BOGS and James got some Kamiks. I spent just under $100 for both pair when originally my bogs would cost over $100. I love finding different things on that website. I look there for pretty much anything. They have a thing called subscribe and save. You can buy canned food or box food on there and if you scribe to it you save some money and they will mail it to you every month or whenever you want them to. I haven't done any of that yet because I don't know where I'll be in a month, but I know as soon as I get settle and start my own home I can do shopping online since I won't be able to go into Anchorage as much. I haven't been to a "real" store for over 2 months now. It's totally weird ...

A few weeks ago, someone asked me what the meaning of my name is and if I fit what my name means. A few of the meanings of Rebecca that I found were, To tie, to bind, beautiful, desirable, shy but confident with friends, favored by the Lord, a servant of God. There is also captivating and peacemaker. I guess that it just depends on where you look to find the meaning. My name is a Hebrew name. In the Bible Rebekah was married to Isaac.  I decided to also look up the meaning of my middle name, which is Lynn. I have found a couple of different meanings. It means, waterfall, beautiful, from the lake. I don't know what the true meaning of either is, For Rebecca, beautiful comes up a lot when I look. When I also look in the Bible it says that Rebecca was very beautiful, also had a servants heart. From the list that I had found of my name, I say that I fit about more then half   of what my name means. Now when I looked for my middle name I didn't have a clue what I would fi...
