Marisa's Alaskan Adventure : Life is good. :)

A lot has changed since my last post but a lot is still just as it was. Life is good and that hasn't changed... it's just gotten BETTER.

New love, Mike, who came with a dog. Ace, who I love just as I do Macy. Mace and Ace get along so, so well together and it's so nice to have them together. Mike's family. New home. Mace and I moved in with Mike and Ace and we couldn't be happier. New adventures. New friends. Old friends. Same second grade and same wonderful family.

Another thing that hasn't changed - my love and my longing for Alaska. Mike and I have already bought our tickets and we'll be traveling and spending Christmas and some of NYE in Alaska this year. He's never been and so I'm MORE than excited to get up there and share all that I love about it, with him. We're both VERY anxious for the trip. We have a countdown on the fridge.... 255 days. :)

Here's just a few pictures from more recently but a few from over the last couple months. It'll be back to second grade again next year for me which I'm VERY excited about. 36 1/2 days left in this year and then a much needed summer vacation.

Maybe one of these days I'll get around to posting pictures from my last trip to Alaska. This past summer I went up to visit before I headed to Seattle. Like I said, one day I'll get around to that. :)

Until next time....

Two of my longest friends (of 16 years!!) are both having babies!! Well, Becky had a beautiful little girl named Cali and Mr. Carson is should be arriving in a few weeks for Sam! So happy for both of them and it makes me cry thinking about their little ones.

We got so much snow back a few months - about 3 feet. Mike and I were up at his family's cabin and we barely made it home. When we arrived home we had to plow the truck through all 3 feet and more because of the drifts coming off the field, of snow to get to our jeeps. We had to shovel a path and uncover the door because that was blocked too! Luckily, we both love snow. Unluckily, we both hate shoveling. We were very fortunate to have a wonderful guy down the road come and plow us out after we were stuck for a few days.
