Well some of you know this and some of you don't. Dave has sold his jeep, or at least he is selling his jeep. He has a guy who is coming down today from Fairbanks that wants to buy it. Dave wanted to get rid of it and get a better commuter car so poor "yeepie" is going to a new home. He is hoping to find a Honda or Toyota for a reasonable price. It is truly amazing what people "think" a dented, broken down car with a blown engine is worth. One guy has a Dodge intrepid with a blown engine listed for $5K!!! can you believe it and the car is a 1996! Dave and I are like get real people!! The dealers are not much better, good lord I know people are hurting for money but please be reasonable lol. So far he has test drove a few cars but they just haven't given him that "warm and fuzzy" feeling. So the search continues.
We went to the softball meeting last night for Ashley, and she starts practices today and she is excited for it. I am happy for her as she should meet a few more people. Our condition for Ash on this is she has to give it her all, and not slack off or skip those "optional" practices.
Krista should be starting guitar lessons soon. She got an electric guitar for her birthday in December and would like to take "official" lessons, so Dave and I are looking for a good teacher for her. Our only condition with this is that if she starts a set of lessons she has to finish them to the end.
As for me I am just trying to keep up with the new job, house, kids, David and everything else in between. I am looking forward to spring and being able to plant some flowers as I have great garden space here and looking forward to being able to get out and see what there is to see on the mainland, go 4-wheeling, camping and go to the big state fair.
Well that is about it. I posted some pictures so check them out! I am fixing my video that I shot so look for that hopefully soon. P.S. the -5 picture was the HIGH for the day, we still have a very LOOOOOOOONG time to go before spring gets here. Probably end of May before we start seeing "warm" weather lol.
You WIMP!! -5 is a heat wave. There are actually days when we look forward to it warming up to near zero. People back home just don't understand that zero degrees can actually feel pretty good. Makes you want to wear shorts at 5 above. You just keep getting used to that frigid weather for when you make your move to Montana. The only difference is, in the summer time, you have to get used to the 100 and above weather. It doesn't get that hot around Anchorage. I actually loved the summers in Achorage. I didn't even mind the mosquitoes since we have to live with them here as well. however, your mosquitoes are the size of little commuter planes. They are beasts.
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't let me post using my name, so I'm just anonymous now. Who needs a name anyway...They are highly overrated.
