Happy Halloween!

Cara came to trick or treat! She's a cute little puppy!

***You guys are lucky! Bet you didn't have to wear your snowsuit under your costume!!!***

(it was about 10 above on Halloween night!)

Beautiful Lights

I Love Being in Alaska!

One of the best things about living in Alaska is being able to see the northern lights! They are so intriguing to watch! They dance around, they change colors, and are just mesmerizing!!! Now that it is getting colder, and darker we get to see them more and more... Jason came home early a few nights ago, and told me to get bundled up and come out side (it's now -20 at night), I grabbed my coat, and camera. The picture doesn't do justice to the whole sky being lit, but they are beautiful!

Best Movie I have seen!

I know I'm behind on the latest and greatest movies. I seem to always fall asleep during them! But last night I think I watched the best movie I have seen in a really long time!

I watched PS. I Love You

If you haven't seen it go rent it!

Let me clarify... You need a WHOLE box of Kleenex and it is definatly a chic flic!

So anyway,
I got home from work and didn't feel like doing anything so I put it in and got comfy. I cried before they even started the opening credits! (although in my defence there are sences before the credits!) I sobbed thru the whole movie. It was so neat though. How everything was set up, and layed out. What an amaizing story line. I am sure you all think I am crazy, but I just can't get over how much I enjoyed it!

Life is Good!

I Love Him and the Hot Wheels too!!!

Jason spent the evening with me last night and I had a blast!!! He is usually on swing shift (4-12:00) so I never get to see him except for on the weekends. Anyway, it was really nice to have him home for an evening! We made dinner together, and then curled up on the couch, in front of the fire place, and watched a movie. 88 minutes (I think that is what it's called) Anyway it was pretty good. It was a suspense movie with Al Pacino in it.

Then I fell asleep on the couch and he let me sleep for a little while, until it was time for a HOT WHEELS run! We went to Fred Myers and they said the boat that supply comes up on had broken down... Alaska gets a lot of supply from boats and barges, you would think we were far away or something! :o) Then we went to Waly-mart, nothing there either except our other competition! (They didn't get anything either! HA!)

For those of you that have no idea what I am talking about, let me update you!
Jason is an avid Hot Wheels collector... Yep, the little toy cars that little boys play with! He has over 500 cars hanging in his office. Anyway, its a cheap and fun hobby! There are special ones called Treasure Hunts and they are hard to find(obviously). You would be surprised how many adults LOVE hot wheels! All the collectors want them!!! Even though we live in a small little town there are a LOT of collectors, so it is a race to see who can get to the stock first!!! Usually he goes after work while they are bringing stock onto the floor and goes thru the boxes right there. You learn to make friends with the stock boys so they will hold a box for you and not let any other collectors open it. Anyway, it's kind of fun! If you see one with a green stripe down the side that says Treasure hunt pick it up! WE NEED THEM!!! It looks like this... They can have different cars in them but the package will have the green stripe! Keep your eyes out!!!

I know... We have fun doing it together though!!! :o)

More like me!

Ever wonder how some people make it through this world??? Like the ones that think they know everything, and act like they own everything, and the ones that say the same thing over and over, but with different words... It's like they can BS there way through every aspect of life...
Yep, I have been dealing with two of "those" at work all week... So now I have a bad attitude about "those" kind. It will get better though, tomorrow is Friday...
Everything is going well up here in the snow. It keeps getting colder. This morning when I left for work is was -1 Degrees. It's suppose to get up to about 20 today, but so far, I am still freezing!
Maybe that is why I am a little edgy... I have "those" people telling me they can predict the forecast for the next 6 months (we all can. Its cold) and they also can save the world from their little desks!!! Get a reality check and realize the whole world doesn't revolve around you! Okay, I'm done... As Jason would say "The world would be a better place, if there were just more people like me!"
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!!! Loves!!! ;o)

My wonderful weekend!!!

Driving to Anchorage looks like this... Don't you wish you could drive in these conditions??? It's the main highway to get to the rest of the state!!! WOW!

what a weekend!!!
Our football team made it to the playoffs and we had to drive to Anchorage to cheer. We rented 2 sprinter vans and put 6 girls in each van (plus 2 coaches driving). We left Friday morning at 7am, and 8 hours later arrived at the game... It should only be a 5 hour drive...
This picture is what the roads were like for 150 + miles... CRAZY!
I will never drive a van, teenage girls, and weather like this again!!!
We had 70 mph winds, crazy snow and really slick roads! Everyone was off the road ahead of us(including our Principal and athletics director) We made it safe and sound though.
I was really worried!!!

We got to the game and cheered our hearts out, but it just wasn't enough... Our boys lost 26-12... It was pretty gloomy the rest of the night.
We got up Saturday morning and went to eat. It's funny how much you take things for granted... We were all dieing for Ihop!!! We don't have an Ihop in Fairbanks, so whenever you go to Anchorage, you have to go there for Breakfast!!!
Then we had to get on the road for the trip home all over again! But this time the roads were a lot better! The snow had turned to rain and melted a lot of the roads. There were still a few rough spots, but we made it back no problems!!!
What a weekend!
