Who would have ever thought that a shy California Girl would move to Alaska and meet the love of her life? Well. it happened over 20 years ago and The US Coast Guard had a small part in it. You see, She came up to Alaska, while in The Coast Guard. Upon exciting her service time, she applied to attend the university and stayed. She met a very out going and affectionate Native Alaskan man, who was not affraid of hard work (and still isn't) and fell in love. Three kids and 16 years later, they are still a family. Times have been hard and full of personal challenges, but by God's grace they have plowed through those difficult and uncertain times. We have made many friends in our small community of Soldotna and feel blessed to own our own home.
Life is full of challenges, but if the challenges are met with perserverence and a willingness to bend, great things can happen. The future looks bright right now. There are dreams yet to make real, but with time and common sence planning (gee, I sound like my dad) anything is possible.PTL

Happy New Year and New Opportunities
School is back on and the kids are busy again. It snowed for two days straight just before Christmas, so the kids had a lot of snow to play in. Samuel loves to build and Santa brought him lots of real tools to learn to use. Iggy got some new tools, too. Michal is all about dolls, so she got some new ones to add to her collection. Grades came out and the girls are doing great! Sam struggles with school and is not doing as well this quarter as last quarter, but we still have high hopes for him.
