It’s been a while….

I have been waiting to update my blog because so much time has gone by and I wanted to get it all documented. Erin has persuaded me to just post it and get on with what’s happening now so I will continue it. She is right, I don’t know when I would have found time to sit down and write up the last two months. So before I begin I want to say that the wedding was a lot of fun. It was nice having all of our friends and family together to celebrate the day. Our trip to Hawaii was really nice and relaxing. I’ll get some pictures add to my flickr account.
I am sitting in the Duluth airport right now waiting to fly to Minneapolis on my way to Valdez. I went to sleep around 1:00 A.M. this morning, and was up at 3:10 A.M. for the drive to the airport. Laura was kind enough to give me a ride, especially at such an early hour. We left the house around 3:30 A.M. and got to the Duluth airport around 5:20 A.M. I get to spend about four hours in Minneapolis, and about 2 hours in Anchorage. It’s going to be a long day. The last few days have been really really hot in Northern Minnesota. The temperatures were in the 90’s with the humidity trying to keep up. We spent a lot of time swimming in the lake. In the water its really refreshing, but as soon as you get out you feel like you have to jump right back in it so warm. An Alaska climate will be a nice change of pace.
Erin is out in Baltimore for two weeks right now training for SFA. She wasn’t too excited to leave the lake, but seems to doing well out there. As well as you can be while working in the summer. She will be flying back into Duluth about 10 hours after me on the 22nd. Then I’ll have about a week down here before I head back up to Alaska for work. I’ll be able to make it to Mike Svir’s wedding. I’m looking forward to that. I miss hanging out with him. Well, it looks like we are about to start boarding. I’ll be sure to upload this in Minneapolis.
