Busy Day!

Posted by on March 4, 2008 No comments

Last Saturday was such a busy day!

We started out trying to get to Fairbanks on Friday, actually. There was a milk expiration date mishap that ended with JR throwing up in the truck. We turned around, he got it out of his system, and everything was fine. John had to turn around and go straight to Fairbanks to pick up my meds, and he ran a few other errands while he was there.

Saturday was a busy day. We got a semi-late-ish start, but crammed in so much! First stop was at Sunshine Health Foods for some probiotics and some fabulous Tahitian sandalwood soap (yum!).

Then we took JR to get his first professional BIG BOY HAIRCUT! I cut his hair for the very first time back in January, but this was his first time at a barbershop! He did so well, and now he looks so very handsome!!!



Then I got to go to Inua Wool Shoppe; it’s this fabulous yarn store, and there were so many yummy yarns there! I met a few very nice ladies, and got some great yarns. Also, they gave me two milk crates full of back issues of knitting magazines. Great score.

We also went to Sam’s Club, Old Navy, WalMart, and grocery shopping at Fred Meyer. Holy crap, I actually got shopped out! I never get shopped out! Poor John was frazzled with all that shopping, but he was such a trooper. I had so much fun that day, but boy oh boy was that a busy day!

Our Move

Posted by on March 4, 2008 No comments

As most of you already know, we moved from Fairbanks to Delta Junction the weekend after Valentine’s Day. I’m still unpacking.

We got 90% of our errands run on Feb 15th (also my 29th birthday), then tried to do some last minute packing. We took one load out to the house in Delta, then went back to our old house for the night. Saturday, after some hassle, John finally got the U-Haul. He loaded it once and drove that out to the new house while I packed, and it was all in all a long day. Sunday, we loaded up the last of our stuff and drove it out.

At the new house — a 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath log house (with a walk-in closet that I love) — John unloaded the last of our stuff and I set to unpacking. He drove back to Fairbanks to clean the old apartment. After an hour or so, I noticed it was rapidly cooling off. A couple of frantic calls later, and many layers of clothing later, the fuel guy put heating fuel in our tank and we had heat again. It’s good to have heat.

We’re still getting everything in its place, and still amassing a list of things that we need to get to make the place as comfortable and thermally sound as we can. All in all, things are turning out very nicely, and I love our new home.

I was a bit of a brat when I emailed everyone a picture of an ice fishing house and said it was our new place. No, we aren’t living on a frozen lake. No, the ice fishing house isn’t really part of our property. No, really. Our new place is actually quite nice, and we love all the space it offers us. At least I cracked myself up with the picture prank I pulled. I think I’m funny. That’s all that counts, right?

We do actually have a great “Home Sweet Home.”
