We Have Contact!

Okay - so my husband has been chatting with me on Facebook tonight.
The first thing - "the food is amazing" they had "duck" on their first night! (phew - I am so happy cause I am
a pretty decent cooker - you have seen us right? - and I was afraid her wouldn't like the food)

It is a "work camp" situation and they have two guys to a room - he needs hangers which is a good sign there is  a closet and decent space - I asked him to send pictures so it is more exciting! He will have a day off tomorrow which will be exciting - I hope he can get some rest! He also has the task of finding a church he might fit in with on Sundays. I know that he would like to have Grace, his 9 year old black lab with him - it would be a dream for the both of them - she is already being a little whine girl for her daddy.

Well I am tired - and we are chatting - so more tomorrow! Here is a picture of him pushing his mom last week at Dylan's graduation.

Trader Joes $10.48

the worst thing you can do is NOT have a plan when you go to Trader Joes at 10 Minutes before they close.
I started out with Pizza Dough - herb/garlic and plan in my bag - then picked up the most cute little jar of pesto sauce. I knew I had all sorts of cheese at home - but what to drink? Well I felt rushed but nestled in-between their $2.49 bottles of Charles Shaw and overpriced designer soda's I found for $1.99 a two quart jar of low calorie Lemonade - made with organic lemon juice 40 calories per serving. It is delicious - really and hits the spot because it is warm here in Kirkland tonight.
Now I threw a few pieces of dough in the oven, maybe 1/8 of what the bags provided, and with the cheese and pesto have a very delicious evening snack. the outside so crunchy and flavorful - and the inside nice and chewy.

 I ate a bowl of Oh's this afternoon if you must know - so I wasn't too hungry.
Now I am fighting the urge to head back down to Kirkland Park Place to get a

Beijing Herbal Foot Massage for $25.00

here is what YELP has to say about it - when Jeff is gone - this is the kind of physical attention I can handle. 
Just getting some reflexology - it will just save the day! they are open until 10:30 so I won't make it today - but it LOOKS lovely! I can't wait to blog the real experience!

Top of the WORLD to you

So today my husband started working in Barrow Alaska - very most northern city in the USA.
looking online - pictures are amazing - the weather extreme. Extreme cold. Now for this girl - 24 hours of sunSHINE seems like a wonderful idea - but 24 hours of dark - doesn't sound so fun! 

So the question now is - no cell service - how does he have wi-fi on his cell but no cell tower? 

curious eh? I am excited to start blogging and posting about his adventures and my adventures in Alaska! 

In the meantime - it is going to be a fun time blogging, sharing Pink Papaya, and interviewing people - trying new experiences I might have never done at a traditional job!
