Good question...
What is new with me?
Not a whole lot! I was sick with a fluish bug...then missed some of the nicest days sick with a coldish bug. Friends - this is what happens when you used to be good about taking your vitamins and then forget for a month or so...oops. Then of course once I'm better it's now all rainy and overcast out. I think I'll still do my planting today though - I won't melt.
I have been out biking, and broke my butt in so as long as I go now and then I should be set for the summer.
What else...work seemed really hard this week. I was writing out the prayer requests to send to our "pray-ers" and for the first time since i started working for CPC the entire email was full only of women considering abortion. I had to remind myself that it's not a fight against flesh and blood, but agains principalities and rulers of the world. That's a hard one to remember.
More excitement as it happens!

Morning Routine
This morning I was getting ready for work, and had the epiphany about my morning routine. I used 10 count them 10 products to get myself together. For those of you extremely interested - here's what I used:
1. Shampoo
2. Conditioner
3. Face Wash
4. Soap
5. toner
6. moisterizer (face)
7. lotion (body)
8. mousse
9. deoderant
10. make-up (I'm counting that as one when really it was three)
WOW! What would I do if I didn't have all of those things every morning - probably look pretty interesting!

Lower (to the) 48
I spent the past few days in Colorado and Nebraska visiting family. I had a great time driving across th
e plains with my parents and seeing cousins and other extended family.
I flew into Denver on Wednesday and my dad picked me up at the airport and we headed to Colorado Springs. we had a relaxing evening hanging out and getting ready to leave the following morning. Thursday we headed up to Kearney, NE and drove and drove and drove. I've always (maybe not always) enjoyed my parents, and this was no exception. On Friday I headed over to the graduation and my parents caught up with us later at the reception.
My cousin, Ashley, graduated with a Masters in Counseling, and I am so proud of her. She has overcome quite a bit in her life to get this far, I'm so thankful I got to be there to watch her walk across the stage.
I got to hang out with Ashley some that night - I got the fabulous tour of Kearney, let me tell you it was so exciting. There's something about small town life that definitely appeals to me. I like the slower pace and the safe feeling, but I'm not sure I'd really like to live there long term.
We drove back to CO on Saturday, but not before we went to the Arch - wow. If you are at all into history - especially the Oregon Trail and the like, it was a very fun museum. It's basically a museum that stretches over the interstate (those are roads that go from state to state for those of you in AK :)) and it covers the history of the area from the Oregon Trail to I-80 being put in.
Here's me with a steroid taking bison.
When we got back to CO, I caught up with my sister who had been at the National Day of Prayers with Focus on the Family. We had a great time catching a movie together and going to theBridge at New Life on Sunday evening. It was fun to meet her friends and see a little part of her life.
I was sad that John's work kept him from going, but it was time for me to see my family and in some good time with them. It makes me miss being able to drive somewhere for a few hours and come out in another state...but I don't think I could move out of Alaska if I tried!
My dad and I - now you can see where I get my good looks!

Outside Fun
It's official. I have my first ever Alaskan sunburn...oops. I've never really worried about the sun here because of the low altitude, and I never seemed to be out enough in the real sun to worry about it. Until yesterday....oops.
But the good news is - i've been loving every second that I've spent out in our perfect 65 or so degree weather - LOVE IT!
In other news - we're getting ready to scoot out the door for a BBQ. I have no idea what we're bringing, and my car is almost out of gas...so many things to worry about! :) And, frankly, who cares when it's so nice out.
