This week has really been beautiful. The stars have been shining in the morning sky, there is a pink glow by the time I reach Nett, and it’s still light out at 5:00 when we’re back home. I am starting to believe that January might be my favorite winter month. This is particularly ironic because I believe historically that January is the coldest month of the year. I guess my new-found appreciation for this season is keeping me aware of how very clean and crisp everything looks while the temps are so low. We’re promised even colder weather for next week… we’ll see if I’m still enjoying it all then! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Getting back to work this week was a good thing. Don’t get me wrong, I could vacation forever. But, as long as I need to try to be a contributing member of society, it was time to get back. I felt rested on Monday but not out of routine.<\/p>\n

I got a great work-surprise this week when I learned that I’ll be heading to San Fransisco next month for an SFA Experienced Sites Conference. I am truly excited to attend<\/em> the conference without the pressure and anxiety I felt at the last ESC I was (presenting) at. Not only will I get to sit back and take it all in, but it sounds as though a few of my old collegues (both from SFA and Alaska) will be there, too. And, to top it off, my dad’s traveling along with me to visit a friend of his. I am looking forward to a few days of sunshine.<\/p>\n

So, it’s been a pretty good week. Today, though, has probably been my favorite day… beginning at 3:30 when I arrived back to Cook. I ran over to visit with Gram and Gramp, and Dad stopped in, too. Then Bill came by, and it was a real party.<\/p>\n

When we got home, Bill cooked up some Tacos, and I got the margarita glasses out. I always love pulling these out of the cupboard – our house feels a little less like winter and a little more like Mexico. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to a weekend of sleeping in, playing outside with Bill, and hopefully spending some time with my sisters!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
