whats up?

Usually no news is good news, but when your working at keeping a blog going  no news can make things a little tough.

We headed up to Anchorage for Labour day weekend, however the morning we were planning on going I walked downstairs to a flooded basement. Apparently our Hot water tank didn’t really want us to go and put its life on the line to keep us around.  Three months into our new home and it broke already! haha… I got things under control and we got a new tank installed that day. Good news is that we are getting new carpet put in through insurance, which we are happy for since the carpet downstairs could use an upgrade.

We spent the remainder of the day drying out the carpet and floor and took off to Alaska the next morning.

The trip was great, chances are we will never drive it again simply due to the length, supposed to be 13 hours…took us 16 with construction. Way too much to drive in a day, although the trip was long the view made up for it once we got to our destination… Big mountains and the ocean breeze are a perfect combination in my opinion. Tammy thinks the ocean stinks but has grown to have an appreciation for mountain views so her opinion may vary a bit from mine.  We got our “shop on” in the big city and had a real fun time checking out the Zoo, etc. We posted some pictures of the zoo on flickr, check them out. All in all we had a good time and are glad we made it up there for a break. Here is how Tammy spent the majority of the drive back home.

Now we are back to the grind, both of us having new positions with work and up for the challenges they will bring.

That is about all I have to give you guys for an update, I will try to keep up on the blogging a bit more regularily over the next few months.
