So I just watched the Jason Mraz DVD again, it's pretty good stuff... however I have to say that I like him much better when he was just begining and didn't have so much of a band behind him, more acoustic and raw and less electric suits his sound better... His new album is great though, pick it up if you haven't already.
I bought myself some cross country skis to go to and from work and to play in the snow with...
I have been out on them twice now in preparation for my first run to work tomorrow... it's going to be a bit tougher than I thought but hey I am saving gas money and helping the environment and getting exercise all at the same time right? Today I almost made it all the way to work, got a little lost and ended up in the middle of a "frozen" lake... lets just say that next time I will take the trail around the lake... that thing was creaking and cracking the whole time! I should have brought the camera with me today though cuz I went at sunset, which lasted mroe than an hour, and the scenery was beautiful. I saw some bear prints in the snow out behind our neighborhood yesterday and I am looking forward to meeting him on my way to work someday... not.
The dogs are a handful as expected, but they slept through the night last night for the first time with no accidents and everything! For a while there we were going to make them into puppy rugs...
My latest project has been revisiting the closet and creating a shelf and drawer corner to put stuff in instead of dressers and I will be mounting them up tonight so I will put a pic up as soon as we finish....
K, better get to work, talk to you all soon!

Alyeska Trip 2!
Here is where we spent the day today... it was a nice ride and the second time we had been there, we went to see a downhill ski contest but it was over by the time we got there... we still had fun and took some great shots of the beautiful scenery. The new puppies came along and did great in the car. Hopefully next time we visit this area we will be skiing ourselves!

They are 6-week old Akita/Black Lab mix furballs of fun. Ben's is the boy, the more beige colored one who was named Cubby (he's gonna be a bear when he's older!) and mine is the girl, the whiter one who was named Ka'ena. Enjoy the pics!!!!!

so much to do!
Hey all...
We finally got the internet at home! It's pretty late here now, about 11:30 I guess, so I wont make this the master post that we owe all of you, but I will put a little something up here to tide you over until the weekend. It is my last day of work tomorrow for the work week, Lisa has the day off, so I bet you are going to get the monster picture posting then, sorry it has been so long but I am sure that you all can understand how busy moving can be!
So we pick up Vanessa tomorrow at the airport! Yea!! we are pretty excited to see her again...Can't wait to welcome her to her new home and show her around what we know of the state, how limited that might be up to now...
We have managed to get our kitchen into shape and sort of get a start on lots of house projects and we have even managed to unpack all the boxes, albiet into a large pile in the middle of each room... but hey unpacking 119 boxes is quite a task in itself. So we can't wait until Vanessa gets in to help us decorate and put everything away so we can resume some sort of a normal life again, and get back to exploring our surroundings and making friends! Speaking of friends Casey and Annie said that they are coming to visit us at the end of the winter! We are so freakin pumped to hear that! Can we get a Hell Ya????
OH and Amber and Ty are planning a trip too! We can't wait to see them again too! It will be so nice to see family as it has been quite a while. Can't wait to have a fishing buddy, so dont forget the pole that we bought in Iowa k Ty?
With all the house projects we are taking before and after pics so everyone can follow the progress, might move that section to the website once we get that up and running again!
K, well I better get to bed now, look for a picture fest tommorrow!
