Hello to the patient! I am sorry that this blog has not been updated in a while; busyness set in after my last post and I was unable to jump right back into updating. Then I had so much to write and upload that I continually put updating off. Finally, I decided to just pick up where I am at and make a go of things. Brief recap since I last wrote:
I finished my roadtrip on the 31st of March, the day after my birthday. It was a cold road home through MN, ND, MT, and ID. I then spent the next 4 weeks hanging out with family and friends, except for the 10 days I spent overhauling Roxann, my lovely car. I removed the motor and transmission, replaced some parts, and then put everything back together again. It was a great project but I did injure my right arm and it still hasn’t healed up yet. Then, on April 28th, my grandpa Cliff and I left WA for the Great Land of the North: Alaska! We drove my car through British Columbia and the Yukon Territory and arrived into Fairbanks, Alaska on May 1st. It was a rollicking good adventure, full of excitement and beautiful vistas. I had to say “good-bye” to my grandpa Cliff on May 6th and “hello” to the working world again that same week. That brings us up to the present time, where I am currently spending a few days off in Skagway, Alaska, after my first tour of the season. I am working up in Alaska as a Tour Director for Holland America Line cruise company. So, until September this is where I will be, working to pay off my college loans and get myself situated for Italy. I am currently working on my paperwork for the field, although the slow internet is not helping. I will try to post some more regular updates this summer, as well as some pictures, and maybe even some back-logs.

Cheers!

PS – I am reading a really good book right now called “Irresistible Revolution” by Shane Claiborne. It is messing up my world! Thanks Heather!
