Okay, I lied in my last entry\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I promised yurt pictures, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve fallen short. I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t take a single picture while I was in Talkeetna, However you can head to Tiff and Rick\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s blog to see some great shots.<\/p>\n
We had a blast while we stayed with the Holts. They were so sweet and shared their living space with us for two nights. We got to meet several of their friends, which was also great. I love meeting my friend\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s friends, because it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like opening another door in their lives. And being the snoop I am, I think that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fun. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Anyway, Bill helped on the actual construction of the downstairs, while I grabbed a shovel and worked on the path that connects the parking area to the yurts. It felt so good to get a little dirty and tire out my (non-existent) muscles! We also enjoyed lots of good food, a campfire, and a swim in their pond\/lake (I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not sure what it qualifies as.) It was a wonderful trip, and we can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t wait for our next visit!<\/p>\n
My time in Unalakleet was very nice. Bill and I have basically been taking it easy. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d planned to camp this weekend, but sketchy weather helped me discourage follow-through on those plans. Instead, we visited over lots of snacks at Stacie and Josh\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s and then watched Last Holiday. (What a cute movie!) We headed to Currier\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Saturday night, and I went to Stacie\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s to stamp on Sunday (but ended up being too lazy to be creative and just watched her stamp instead!). It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been great to connect with friends, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m looking forward to more time there.<\/p>\n
I did sub last Friday. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been a while since I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been in the subbing game, and I think it was a good thing I threw myself in early this year. It went pretty well, and it didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t take long to remember how exhausting a school day can feel! Today I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m working out in Savoonga. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m here for four days of implementation visits (with SFA), and I have a feeling they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll all be as jam packed as today was!<\/p>\n
One really cool thing about my plane ride over here this morning, was that I got to see Russia. It was so neat to look out and see Little Diomede (which is part of the U.S.A) and then past that Russia. I was looking a whole day ahead. \u00e2\u02dc\u00ba<\/p>\n
As nice as the past week has been, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m definitely missing home. I talked to April a couple of times this weekend. Sounds like it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s gorgeous there\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 nice enough to be lounging in the hot tub. They had strict instructions to tell me that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rainy and gloomy any time I call\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 but apparently she forgot! Anyway, everyone back home sounds like they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re doing pretty well. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m still hoping for more visitors. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d sure be nice to have that to look forward to. HINT HINT!<\/p>\n
I hope you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve all been well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
