Summer is approaching.....

We have been extremely busy lately!  I started a new job in March working for a small airline here in Skagway part-time on the weekends.  Nick is working on-call part-time at the Skagway library.  We officially opened up the RV Park Easter weekend.  Yay!  Aspyn finished pre-school a little over a week ago.  Kolson is still a sweetheart, but he is entering that terrible toddler stage.  Nick decided to call it terrible toddler instead of terrible 2 because the age really has nothing to do with it.  It's not magically over when they turn 3.  It just doesn't work that way.  Braxton moved into another house, now he live's in Henderson, Nevada.  I go to court at the end of the month.  Hopefully everything goes well and my boy will get to come live in Alaska with our family.  We have missed him terribly!


The first cruise ship arrived yesterday.  It was the Disney Wonder ship.  I've been subbing at the school this week and they had a special assembly yesterday for all of the kids.  They had a visit from Mickey, Minnie, Chip & Dale, and Pluto.  Every one had the chance to stand in line and hug the characters and get their picture taken with them if they had a camera.  It was awesome!  They also gave out little stuffed Mickey's to all of the kids.  The school also had a visit yesterday from the Governor of Alaska.  He shook my hand.  Now I can say I've shaken hands with the Governor.


We moved into a new to us house just before Easter.  We now live in town and not out on the Hill.  It is good for a few reason's, but one being that gas was $4.53 per gallon last week and has been going up 10 cents per gallon for the last few weeks.  Other than the cost of living, we are still loving Alaska.  It is such a great place to raise a family.  It is so safe here and the beauty is incomparable.  Our new house is great because it has a lot more space and we are 2 blocks from the school and right across the street from the Rec Center.
