Our satellite went out in September sometime. Not knowing where the trouble was, Dan did a trouble shooting session with all the parts and peices of the dish. Everything seemed to work just fine. So, our next thought was that it was off alignment and no long pointing at the proper satellite. Brock lent us a pair of walk-e-talkies, so we could ( Read more... )

Okay, I'm burned out with my job. We are talking maximum burn out. I'm tired of filing, answering the phones, being a "secretary". This is just not my thing anymore. I'm tired of it. Saturday night, at a work related dinner, my boss and a co-worker that I admire told me how much they appreciate me in the office, and that they were glad Dan and ( Read more... )

Dan was not chosen for the promotion. He was quite upset about it, and so was I. We were positive this was his time. Looks like the stars have something else in store. I could go into detail aobut the whole thing, but honestly, I don't want to at all ( Read more... )

Dan left on Sunday for a week, and our satellite is not working at home. I am so bored, and sick of listening to movies. Normally I put on a TV show and listen to it as I do something around the house, but I have been either too freaking lazy from my tiredness, or all the movies we have suck. I want Dan to come back now. He's in Sitka doing his ( Read more... )

So a huge bear is in the neighborhood. Just this morning it got into the neighborhood dumpster and completely totaled it, getting the garbage all over the place which made drivers have to maneuver around the trash just to get out of the subdivision. My neighbor down the road said she saw tracks leading to the river. Scary thing is that the other ( Read more... )

Well, I've known this for a couple weeks now, I just didn't feel like up dating then. My grampa died of complications due to his cancer on September 24th, 2005. I'll be honest when I say I'm not too upset. I had only spent time with him a couple times in my life. The last time I saw grampa was in 1994 when I was 14 years old. We stayed at his ( Read more... )

Everybody, please send positive vibes for Dan. Today is his oral board for the Sgt positions he applied for. My energies will go towards him so that those who are interviewing him will see that he is amazing and the best guy for the job we want.

My situation.... *smiles* I found out on Saturday that I am PREGNANT!!!! According to an online ( Read more... )

79 in a 65 mph zone... $122 and 4 points... oopsie!

Tonight is our first night home in Alaska. We got in early, around 3 am, and slept a little bit before the big Congrats dinner for Clint. We had lots and lots of family over. My appetite was still not up to par (my parents cooked 3 turkeys!!) so I nibbled a little bit. This was also the first night I met Jenny, my brothers girlfriend. While ( Read more... )

San Diego sucked. The weather was so hot for my alaskan skin that I fried, and was miserable for the entire time. Of course I momentarily forgot about the hot sun when Clint graduated. I don't think I have ever been so proud in my life. The energy from the hundreds of family in the stands when their sons walked on the parade deck was amazing. ( Read more... )
