Hello again! I decided that my prep time would be a great time to post :) I do have a long to-do list, but my mind is already thinking about tomorrow and my first trip home!
The last couple of weeks at school have been busy, but good. My classes are winding down and students are taking semester finals. I've done quite a bit of reflecting on how so many many things have gone differently than I expected first coming to Alaska. I've done so many incredible things and met so many incredible people. I could not have asked for a better first semester of teaching!
My mom said that many people have been asking when I am coming home and how Raisin is doing. So here are answers. :)
I am flying out of Kwethluk tomorrow and then heading to Anchorage tomorrow night. Jeff and Terry Wilson are letting me stay with them tomorrow night before I fly to Minneapolis Saturday morning. I hope to be home some time Saturday night as long as the weather it good.
Raisin is still doing well. I cannot believe how quickly he has grown up! Raisin will also be making the trip home to South Dakota with me! So you may be lucky enough to meet him! :)
Raisin was going to ride in the plane with me, but unfortunately he already outgrew the carry-on bag I bought for him, so I had to take a trip to Bethel yesterday to get a travel kennel for him.
I am so excited to see everyone again and can't wait to spend the holidays with family. Hope everything is well where ever you are! :)
I will try to post pictures later when I can upload them!
Love the quotes that you are finding for leads. Very thought provoking and helpful. Travel safely sweetie - we are so looking forward to just sitting and relishing the time that we get to spend together - we may engage you in a bit of "name that band" on a roadtrip, and yes, Styx is still an acceptable answer! Love you - Dad
