Well 2009 has been one hell of a year, awesome snow during the winter and who can complain when your summer starts out with almost two weeks of +30 heat, then settled down to a consistent high 20’s. It sure is going to be a summer to compare all summers to.
Tammy and I have been keeping super busy trying to match all the “green thumbs” that live in our neighborhood. Also having made a bet for nicest yard against my brother is keeping us motivated. I had no idea how hard it was to grow and maintain grass. haha
On a low note the passing of my parents dog was a real disappointment, however I am glad we were able to get her outside and to the cabin for one last time. She will definatley be missed.
Bought a new truck, super nice! Kirk, Jennie, Tammy and I went on a short road trip this past Sunday to break it in. We headed to Skagway and had a blast as usual. Of course the cruise ships were docked so the town was experiencing a mass overpopulation of tourists. And of course being at the ocean you have to eat seafood, Best King crab I have ever tasted.
Now with less than one week until we head down to Alberta to see Tammy’s family the summer holidays seem like a bonus to a great couple of months.
life is feeling pretty good.

It is funny how every “moved to the Yukon, Yukoner” you talk to says that they were only moving here for a few years, Jon and I were determined to not be the example that proved the rule.. but much to my delight, we are. Now, we just have to convince some more family to move here, trust me, you will love it and so would we if you ALL came – heehee.
