While I was in Utah I found out that it is possible for me to finish a Bachelors degree online through Utah State University. Peter and I took a day and traveled up to Logan to meet with a counselor. In just two and a half years (taking two classes at a time) I will be able to finish a Liberal Arts degree. This is one of those degrees for people who don’t know what they want to be when they grow up.
What this degree helps me with is simply finishing a degree so that later on if I
Today we found out that we will be moving into our house this Friday (July 2nd)! Yeah! And even better than that is Peter has that day off since it is right before the July 4th weekend so it doesn’t even mess up his work schedule.
The annoying thing is that we have to move all of our crap to a new hotel room on Wednesday and then haul of that crap plus more to the new house on Friday. I think right now would be a good time to count my blessings…
We arrived at our destination in Alaska on Monday, June 21st; the longest day of the year and the most difficult to find a hotel in the Fairbanks area. June 22nd was our planned date of arrival and we already had arrangements in temporary base housing so Monday night we ended up staying in the family camping area on base. There was no room at any inn for miles due to midnight baseball games and marathons (summer solstice is a big thing out here since it stays light practically all night).
So far we have thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful scenery; … Read the rest
This has been the best class for Sydney (anyone living in Melbourne or Satellite Beach – this class is called the Beachside Bouncers and is run through the Schecter Community Center).
I have looked online to see if there is anything like this where we are moving – NADA. So I ordered a bunch of beaded ropes and speed ropes for the whole family and some instructional DVD’s on teaching rope jumping skills and double dutch to kids! We’ll have our own fun in Alaska.
Here’s an awesome clip to watch – Rene Bibaud is a five time world champion … Read the rest
I didn’t realize that I hadn’t blogged for over two months – I haven’t done a very good job at writing in my journal since the beginning of this year also.
We finally received the first important paperwork so that we can get our orders for moving to Alaska. Right now our projected date of departure is May 24th but that may change slightly or may even be pushed back a couple of weeks. Peter has to be at a change of command ceremony on June 24th so we are planning on getting there on June 22nd. Sydney, Isaac, and … Read the rest
The month of February always seems to fly by so quickly (either that or I am just going along with the usual cliche about the shortest month of the year) and I am racking my brain trying to remember what we have been up to all month! We recently found out that we will be moving to Eielson Air Force Base (near Fairbanks, Alaska) and are waiting for official orders for our move date.
Isaac – He has been working simple arithmetic problems (1+1, 2+2, 5+5, etc…) and got 100% on his first little math test today. Math seems to … Read the rest
