My Moonstars

BTW, We Relocated.

Yep, it's true. We are no longer in Alaska. Or Idaho for that matter.

We are in New York. Together. And life is AMAZING!

Rob is attending the University at Buffalo working on his Masters Degree and I'm working 40 hours a week as a florist.

We are renting a 3 bedroom duplex which means we have an upstairs, downstairs, and basement. We eat breakfast and dinner at our dining room table, which is no longer our office. Our office is our office not our storage room; our office also has a couch in it for lounging. Storage goes in the basement on the shelves that Rob built in the basement.

Rob also built himself a work bench in the basement, the 8 ft. desk in our office, and his next task is to build shelves in the office so we can unpack our library of books--which coincidentally is four of the last six boxes we have yet to unpack.

We have each mowed the lawn once, and together we pulled many weeds and four stumps out of the front yard before I planted 300 bulbs in their place.

We've gone on a few walks and a few bike rides. We are getting to know the area and we are happy here. We have a few places nearby we'd like to be tourists, like Niagara Falls and the Corning Museum of Glass. I'd like to take Rob to Sackets Harbor where I lived a decade ago, and of course we still need to get to Toronto! But we aren't far away from any of it! Hooray!

Also, we are very excited to do some traveling for the holidays. The plan is to visit Rob's sister's place in Ohio for Thanksgiving and his parent's for Christmas! Then I'll be off for the Rose Parade once again! Before I know it it'll be 2012 and I'll be needing to post pictures of the Parade once again . . . but probably won't ever get around to doing it.

Let's see how things progress , but as for now, it's time for bed. Goodnight.

Ben and Jenalyn

Here are my friends, the Greenwoods. They are up visiting "me", and hiking the chilkoot trail this weekend. On Monday I'm going to take them on a tour with me.

I've known Ben since I was fourteen. He and Jenalyn visited me when I lived in Virginia too, so it's pretty fun that here we are, a few years later, hooking up thousands of miles away. I'll be spending a few days with them in Sitka before I leave Alaska.

I Love My Weekend Job Too

All I can say is that it was an amazing day out at Glacier Point today. Perfect glassy water.

Goodbye Rob

Be safe. I love you.

Because. We. Are.

Life in Skagway

Well, we've been in Alaska now for almost eight weeks, and we absolutely love it. Every work day we drop passengers off at places like this (although it's no longer snow covered):

And drive by waterfalls like this:

We see lots of these:

And experience "sunsets" like this:

We hike to places like this:

And this:

And this:

Isn't Alaska beautiful?

Oh, and we hang out in our two person hammock whenever we get a chance.

We also work a lot. I worked 97 hours in the last two weeks . . . and payday is on my birthday. We love it here.

Handsome Rob

2011-06-03T14:11:00.001-06:00

Today Rob is going to start shaving away his beard. Having never grown it out before, he didn't realize that his curly whiskers would continually poke and itch him, so the beard must go.

He's chopping it in stages, so this afternoon he'll have a goatee instead of a beard. I think he's handsome with facial hair, so I'm hoping the goatee is more comfortable for him. :)
