New Adventure of Life

On Monday (3-26) James and I had enchiladas for dinner. As I was making them I remember the first time I made them. My dad called me into the kitchen to help him make these things. Knowing me I probably put up a fight. Anyways we started making these. I had to help brown the burger, warm up the shells, put the meat in the shells, add the cheese, put them in the pan. Over the years, I was probably early teenage when my dad first called me into the kitchen, I have come a long way in making them. My parents would send me to the store to buy the ingredients and then have me make them. Which was fine since I liked them especially the next day for lunch. I remember sometime in the first year of my marriage (i'll be married 2 in  May) my dad called me up saying he bought the ingredients. He wanted me to come make it for them and then told me that James and I could stay for dinner. Also fine by me since it was a free meal even if I had to cook. :) When I make them I learn that flour tortil...

Last Saturday, (3-17-12), James and I moved Bethel, AK. We had a lot of fun with having different experiences when we first got down here. We had very limited items. We have 2 plastic plates and plastic silverware and napkins that we got as a wedding present from my best friends mom almost 2 years ago. Why we still had everything 2 years later I don't know, but God knew we were gonna need them. We have to wash our plates every meal  so we have something to eat on. All of our plates and bowls are in Illinois sitting in my mother-in-laws garage. We still have stuff in James' aunt and uncles cache to so we are kinda all over the place. When James and I first got here we had to go to the store and get some groceries. We bought and onion, not sure what I used it in, but I just remembered that I had to use a leather man to cut it on my plastic plate since I don't have a cutting board. It's been in an interesting experience to say the least. On Monday my knife set ca...

Well a lot has happened in that last week. James surprised me a bought me a kindle. He called on a place to live in Bethel. He met with the landlord today, paid a deposit and now we have an apartment in Bethel. He moved his few belonging in there tonight after he got done with work. I might be moving this weekend with him. We are going to talk about it more when he gets "home" for probably the last time. I'm excited to be moving. I'll miss everyone here, but I'm look forward to being with James again. We haven't lived on our own in almost 1.5 years. We have always lived with someone else. I can't wait until I can cook meals for him, so he doesn't have to eat soup or canned food for awhile. I would take pictures if I had a camera, but I don't, so you all will just probably have to wait until I get one. Well I just thought I would update you a little with the move to Bethel.

I think last week or the week before about wanting to get a new camera. Well this week I have really been wanting it. I know I  can't get right now, but if I had one I would love to share the pictures that I could take. It has been snowing every morning this week. It's a beautiful snow. I know some of my family back in Michigan might be jealous while others are thankful that they didn't get much this year. Back in October when we started getting snow, I was like this is too early. But then I have to remember that I live in Alaska now. Well now that it's March I'm thankful for the snow. We didn't get much snow fall in December and January because we were in the -40s almost the whole time. I think we even got to -50 one day. Yeah I know that is cold. I was loving it outside when it got up into the +20 and 30s every now and then. I felt like I could go with out a coat. A couple of Sundays ago I wore a skirt to church. It felt amazing being able to wear a skirt an...
