And so it begins...


Sorry I havent posted yet! Its been kind of crazy busy here! We arrived in anchorage on thursday at 6pm...Caleb came and picked us up, it was good to finally see him! It took us about a 45 min drive to calebs.hometown, Girdwood. My goodness, it is beautiful beyond belief. The first pic below is a pic from the drive there. We met Cece Calebs mom and Steve calebs stepdad, try have been nothing but hospitable to us! It haz been really fun. Cece tells me fun stories bout caleb and we laugh a lot :)

Cece has taught me how to make homade tortillas which are super yummy and happen to b calebs fav. She also makes sourdough pancakes. This has to be started and is an ongoing mix that has been in the same pot for 60 years! Sourdough cakes r an Alaskan thing and alaskan miners started it. They are delicious.

Obviously we arent out at fishcamp yet...we wont b out to fishcamp till tuesday, we are spending this time to shop and get last min stuff for camp,which is nice so we can get adjusted before camp...woo!

So the other picture was taken at 1130pm! Its great for a nite owl like me, but its throwing me off! We went to a fun local festival where we saw jim roan from grateful dead, it was enertaining. The girl taking our tickets went to Sutter high school with josh, that was wayyy crazy small world!

We actually drove to Homer,Alaska which is about 4 hours from Girdwood. Calebs grandpa Jim lives here and is so sweet! We came to pick up a boat for camp called Lady Byrd #1 which is beautiful. We got to homer late so we decided to stay the night which was good because we were sleepy. We got to go to dinner and walk around cute lil shops, I got an Alaska mug...i know, I am a tourist . So far caleb and josh call me mom, because I am telling them...stop bickering and farting...haha but we have been having a lot of fun, Caleb is a good brother. We have laughed a lot together...so with all that said, we absolutley love it here so far....

Stay tuned!
