We are here

Almost a year has passed since my last post. I am not sure why I don't ever blog anymore-not that I was particularly good at it ever. It has been almost a year since I graduated from college with my degree and I have been working since August with my license. Hans graduated in December but is going to walk in May to say that he did. Actually, he is graduating with honors and I am very proud of him. For someone that has said he didn't like school he did a great job. He is working for the state as a diesel mechanic. They repair and maintain all of the equipment for the airport's runways. He enjoys parts of the job but he is on the graveyard shift which does a number on his sleep cycle. He has spent months being sick this year so far I think due to the fact that he does not get good sleep consistently and his immune system gets affected. The winter was long and we got a lot of snow. We broke the record for the snowiest winter in Anchorage which was a bunch of snow. It has been melting surprisingly well. There has been some flooding here and there but it could have been a lot worse. As of today we have our condo up for sale on the market and hope to get it in contract soon so we can look for a new home. We are excited to have a bigger place where we can have a garage for Hans to work on things and no shared walls with the neighbors. We still have not decided exactly where we are going to live but we will figure it out once we are able to start making offers on places. It is a big test of faith for me since I like to plan but for now we just wait and it will all turn out how it should... eventually. We are going to get some camping in this summer and hope to go more places that we have not seen around here. There really are so many beautiful places to explore in Alaska. I hope to take some photos this year -- more than last year and maybe I will post something. I can't really promise but at least I will think about it. ;0)
