So, we just invested in a little comfort – for traveling. Bill and I decided to splurge – and this is a big splurge for me – on a Boardroom Pass for Alaska Airlines. With the amount of hours I spend in airports, Bill sold me on the idea of comfy chairs, free internet, complimentary drinks and snacks, and big-screen TVs. Besides that, I’ve earned MVP status and we have the Alaska Air visa, so we get a discount. So, you can guess, I’m in the boardroom right now – using the free internet and on my second drink. \ud83d\ude09 I’m now looking forward to my morning layover in Devner, as they’ve got a boardroom there as well. I figure, I’ll just skip the airport Starbucks and sandwiches and use my per diems to justify this semi-frivolous purchase.<\/p>\n

Our latest dream is to head to Cozumel at the end of March. We got our complimentary $50 companion fare ticket from Alaska Air over the weekend, and we’re really ready for someplace warm and sandy. People will say teachers earn a bigger salary in Alaska, but with shipping into these remote places and the vacations you require to keep your sanity – it at least evens out, if not puts you behind.<\/p>\n

Tax season is coming up. We’ll be using Turbo Tax once again. It makes it so easy! Anyway, I’m really hoping we see a nice refund, because FICA’s been taking all of my money!<\/p>\n

We had an extremely uneventful weekend – lots of sleep and Nintendo. I’ll tell you, that thing is going to make or break our marriage. \ud83d\ude09 Bill tried several times to kill me off during Mario 3. Before I left for the airport, however, he was all high-fives as I conquered another level.<\/p>\n

We got lots of snow last night, but the weather was still pretty warm today. I certainly hope it holds up for the end of the week.<\/p>\n

And that’s the news out of Unalakleet. Oh one last thing – there’s another little Aune on the way. Not in my immediate family (thank goodness, Jimbo’s too young to be a Grandpa!), but I’m excited all the same. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
