Sundays...What a wonderful day of the week!

Today Brian and I got to sleep into 10am, cooked omlette's and we each took a shower (Its really nice to feel clean). Then after a relaxing morning we got to have an even better afternoon! Brian got the sacrament all ready and changed into church clothes and we had a great meeting just the two of us :) Then we got to watch a church DVD about all the prophets of the church and each of their life history. Wilford Woodruff, Spencer W. Kimball, Ezra Taft Benson, Howard W. Hunter are amazing men and have had amazing lives. I love Sundays!!! Thank you to my Husband to be able to give us the sacrament even when we are in the middle of nowhere. <3

Anniversery's :)

1 Year since Brian and I met on March 20th, 2009!!!
Yes, Its been one year since Brian and I met and our lives changed forever!!
I can remember sitting outside with my mom sunbathing (yes sunbathing, a year later I am trying to stay warm inside because its -6 degrees outside) and talking to this guy I didn't know on the phone to see when he would land for his first solo flight in Caldwell, ID. I remember being really excited and my parents being a little apprehensive because we started talking on the internet. I made chicken and rice and homemade rolls in anticipation of meeting Brian and going on a date with him. He was running a couple hours behind so I packed the dinner in a picnic basket with all the stuff to go along with dinner. Finally around 10pm he called and said he had landed and I jumped in my car to go to the airport. Now my parents were a little apprehensive like I said about me going to meet this strange guy from the internet that just flew in with his own plane to meet me, soooooo they decided it wouldn't be safe unless they followed me to the airport so they could see at least from a distance who this guy was. Also for some reason my dad felt it necessary for me to take one of his new walkies talkies so if I needed him I could push the call button and he would be able to come help. Haha I just laughed and said ok because I could tell he was anxious to use his new toy :) (I never did use it but thanks for watching out for me dad!! <3) So We went to the airport and my parents from a far saw Brian and I meet for the first time. :)
That was a special moment for Brian and I. We shared a great night together that night and a wonderful year.

Its also been 4 Months since Brian and I were sealed for all eternity! Its been amazing!Thanks Brian for making it the best year of my life! I love you with all my heart! <3<3<3

Life for the past few weeks....

Well for starters we have been going into town almost every other day to get parts and groceries and things that we need. Its been good. I think I am getting pretty used to sitting in a car for 4-5 hours at a time now. Hopefully today or tomorrow the plane will be done, (the engine had to have some work done on it) and then we can go pick it up in Wasilla and be able to fly back and forth between the mine site and town. That would make the trips A LOT faster.
Hotei......let me tell ya, the bush is quite an adventurous place for a dog like him. In the past couple weeks he has gotten a twig stuck in his paw in between his toes and his foot swelled up to twice its normal size and he didn't walk on it for almost a week. (side note....it was kinda cute cuz Brian and I were gone when it happened and Hotei wouldn't let any of the guys get the stick out (almost biting them :(. When Brian and I got home and found out what had happened I walked right up to him took his paw and took it out without a problem. Its nice to know he trusts us more than the guys even if we are gone a lot. :) ) A couple days ago he tried to eat a porcupine and got a lot of quills in his face and mouth. Pour guy had to be held down and have all of the pulled out except the one in his mouth. Brian and I had to get that one out again because he didn't let the guys in his mouth very well haha. Anyways.....Hotei is all better now and enjoying himself thoroughly in the bush :)
I have been reading lately and I have to say I love books!!! I finished "Catching Fire" two weeks ago and then read "The Last Song", and I am stoked to see the movie! Two days ago I started "City of Bone" I am only about 1/6 of the way in but it is really good. If anyone has any book suggestions that would be great!
