Stuck in Alaska

I am still in Alaska, and it is totally beautiful. But, after the first day or two it got totally boring. We are on a little island called Ketchikan and there is not too much to do here. I have taken a bunch of pictures, but I will post those later when I get home to my camera cord. I fly home Tuesday, can't wait to be back to civilization!

Highlights:

• LOVE spending time with my man. . . can't wait to have him home for good in November!
• Saw humpback whales, bald eagles, and seals. . . totally awesome
• Everything is green and beautiful and there are waterfalls all over the place
• The house we are staying in is super nice and has tons of free movie channels (keeps me entertained while Sam is out working)
• Fun times playing games and hanging out with our good friends Collin and Dani and their little girl Emery
• Sam let me buzz his head (I always beg him to let me try to cut his hair, up until now he would no let me touch it. . . once it reached near shoulder level he changed his mind. p.s. cutting is harder than it looks, Sam got impatient and started buzzing so I can't take full credit for his new military do.)

Downfalls:

• Power has gone out four times since I got here less than two weeks ago. Today it was out about 12 hours. . . what a relief, it was supposed to be out 2 days
• No power= no water. Weird.
• Halibut fishing season ended in August
• The one mall consists of a Safeway and Taco Time. . . no joke
• It is absolutely freezing. It is a good day when it gets up to 50.
• It rains EVERY day

Can't wait to get back to the hot/dry weather in Vegas!
