Life on The Rock


Well we have been living on Kodiak Island for about 2 months now and we are learning a lot of new things.  We have learned how to drive on ice and we have also learned the stresses of being on a 378' High Endurance Cutter.  We love Alaska so far and we are getting used to the weather (rainy).  We are already missing our families and so much is happening back home without us.  I will be going home soon to visit, it is going to take 4 flights and 20 hours, each way... Matt comes home soon and I cannot wait for his ship to pull in.  I got my Alaska teaching license and have already been putting thoughts into the schools about me.  I even heard gossip that there are a few middle school math teachers retiring next year!  I also have a new favorite quote that seems to always apply.  "Together forever, never apart.  Maybe in distance, but never at heart"

Pictures are from Fort Abercrombie hiking trails taken in November.
