SNOW SNOW SNOW!!

As the holidays approach, we're getting a lot more snow! We've already gotten about 12" in 24 hours, around 18" this week, and it's not going to stop any time soon.

We've been trying to go sledding as often as possible, and have taken Caiden for walks (well, he doesn't walk, he gets into his sled and we pull him haha) :-) He leaves for Canada on the 9th so it'll be a very quiet Christmas for sure.

We plan to go snowboarding this winter with a couple we know, and lately Mike and I have been going out with a girl I work with named Jenn. She's awesome and we always have a great time!

New pictures will be posted in my photobucket account!

Oh, the life....

Well, Caiden LOVES me! My new name is "Nan," because he can't yet say Megan, but he's working hard on it! The little monster is adorable and I've grown very fond, and protective, of him.

Recent adventures have been to the point to walk, sometimes run, on the path along the water after him, having a couple's dinner with some friends and their daughter, and going to get halloween costumes! I'm delighted to say that I'm going as a German Beer Girl..Polly something or other haha, Mike is going as a pirate, and Caiden is going as Cookie-Elmo. He hasn't grasped the concept that Elmo and Cookie are separate characters yet, so he's going as Cookie Monster (blue Elmo basically haha).

The snow has officially started to fall and it's beautiful! I've finished my winter wardrobe with snowpants I bought yesterday so it's time to play. We've gotten the snowboards ready, and have found the sleds so we're hoping the snow keeps coming!

New pictures will be posted soon since I finally got them off my camera so keep an eye out for them!

Love you and miss you all!

Kitty Crisis

My cats are healthy! Thank god.

For the last year of school my cats, Rocky and Lily stayed with my best friend's boyfriend (not together anymore.) He also had a cat, Isis, who was close to their age and they got along great. I got a call from my best friend saying that Jordan had to put Isis down because she had feline leukemia, which is VERY contagious amongst cats (especially those that share litter and food like ours did).

So I bit the bullet and took my cats the clinic out here and had them tested. Thankfully, they're alright! I will now be getting them vaccinated in November :-)

Caiden's Arrival

For all of you who don't know and/or haven't heard, I met a guy out here. His name is Mike (Pictures are in the Photobucket link), and he's 27 yrs. old. He works for the US Air Force and is a Chief's Staff Sergeant. Other duties include being the Unit Deployment Manager (he decides when people get deployed) and also is a financial advisor. (Yep...he's a smart one! :-) ) Not only that, but he helped me and my mom out while she was here helping me move in. She met him, and they got along great :-)

His son, Caiden, arrives tomorrow from Canada, where his ex, Miranda, lives. Caiden turns two on Thursday! Mike hasn't dated anyone since his divorce, so this is new for all of us! I do however, get to meet Caiden on Sunday and am very excited!

A Little More About Me

I was raised in Michigan and miss it very much but am very excited about my new adventure in this mountainous state. I brought my two cats with me, Rocky and Lily, and I'm anxious to see how 20 hours of darkness this winter will have an affect on their nocturnal nature! :-) I've also invested in a new Burton snowboard so I can play on the slopes this winter. AK definitely has plenty of snow to go around! I love the movies, going out dancing (and am going to start taking classes hopefully), volleyball, hanging out with friends (and making them now that I'm new!), reading, singing, animals, and the outdoors (a must if you live out here.) Above all, I miss my family and friends back home and across the US. I'll see you soon!

Hey!

Well, I haven't quite figured out how to use this thing yet because I'm so used to MySpace and Facebook, but I'm working on it! This is for all of my family and friends that want to keep updated on me and my new life here in Alaska.

I love you and Miss you all!
