Alaska: Day 2

Well, today we took the Ferry to Valdez (incorrectly pronounced "Valdeez" here). We saw some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen, as well as lots of wildlife! Here are some of the highlights of today:

Here is the first of many icebergs that we saw today.
They look like they've been dyed blue!
Can you tell what this is? It's a humpback whale! Or its tail, at least.-
Here is Colombia Glacier, the destination of our kayaking excursion tomorrow! It's HUGE!

Here are a couple of lazy sea lions. We saw a lot of them on the shore, but these were the funniest!

Our Voyage to Alaska!

Here we are on the airplane. Judy did so well on her first plane ride! Of course, she didn't want to sleep because there was too much to see--good thing Doug is the "baby whisperer"; he finally was able to put her to sleep.

Alaska

So, today we are going to ALASKA to see my momma and mooses (meeses? moosen?). It is going to be a very fun trip! We are going kayaking, sight-seeing, and fishing (well, Doug and Karl are), not to mention indulging in my mom's delicious home-cooking! Can't wait! We'll try to keep updates on our blog. Don't miss us too much!

Anniversary!

4 years ago, on June 19, Doug and I took the plunge and got married. I'm not going to lie and say that it has been perfect, but it has been real. We have real love, where we fight, cry, laugh, play and just live! Sometimes life is exciting, sometimes it is boring, but we really do love each other. I wouldn't have it any other way, honestly. The last 4 years have flown by, and so much has happened. We can't wait to see what's in store for us in the next 4 years...and beyond.

Closet Door Survey

We need your opinion!

We are buying a new house, and the only thing we don't like about it is that the master bedroom is somewhat small. Therefore, we want to do things to make it look more like a master bedroom. We are thinking nice bedding, simple furniture to make it look bigger, crown moulding, and new closet doors, because the ones currently in there are the cheapest, ugliest ones you can buy and they cover a whole wall. The doors we are looking at are pretty modern, with frosted glass in the middle. Anyways, here are two styles we are looking at. Which do you like better? (We want to upgrade, but we want other people to like it so that it is easy to sell the house when that time comes.)

Pic-i-nic basket!

This evening, we went for a picnic with some friends. Good food, sloppy golf, whiffle ball. It was nice. We should get outside more. So should you!

House...the Sequel

So, we put an offer on the house, and they accepted! We are SO excited! We won't move in until August, but that's ok. We won't have to break our lease or start payments before I work or anything, so that's good. Anyways, when it is time to move in we will have tons of pictures! Yippeeee!
