I am here for Friends

About Me

I have now settled into life in Gambell, Alaska and am truly enjoying it. Jason and I are meeting new people everyday and love hanging out with the other teachers here. My kindergartners are a handful but I just take it one day at a time. I am loving teaching though, even with the compounded challenges of teaching in the bush of Alaska. I am loving the people that I'm meeting and am so glad that we took this leap of faith. Jason and I looking forward to the experiences we'll share together up here and the things God will teach us as we are venturing into sometimes unknown territory.

My Interests

Going on walks down by the water, whale-watching, playing with Krypto(my dog), walking through the annoying gravel that covers this island back and forth to school, catching rides on the back of Hondas (4-wheelers are only known as hondas around here, no matter the brand) whenever I get a chance, enjoying the calm weather, playing cards with Jason and the other teachers, watching TV when our satelite signal will come in clearly, going to the post office EVERYDAY hoping for food and packages to arrive (it's kind of a way of life around here), taking pictures of Gambell and Russia when we can see it from our window, and slightly missing home, but loving our Alaskan adventure more and more everyday!!!

I'd like to meet:

Music:

I like all sorts of music. My favorite artists are Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, Michelle Branch, Five for Fighting, Shane and Shane, Jeremy Camp, Ginny Owens, Sara Evans, Gwen Stephani, Black Eyed Peas, MercyMe, Mariah Carey, and so many more.

Movies:

Movies are great!! I like most kinds of movies, especially chick flicks, of course. I love action and suspense too, and if I'm in the right mood I'd be up for a scary movie. To actually narrow down which movies are my favorites would be practically impossible to do because I like so many.

Television:

Well, I'm a pretty big reality fan, Survivor, The Amazing Race, The Apprentice, Extreme Makeover Home edition are great. I like Grey's Anatomy, House, Bones, CSI(Las Vegas & Miami), Law and Order(all), and the good ol' shows like Friends, Dawson's Creek, Boy Meets World, Full House, and Cosby. And like the nerds we are Jason and I love to watch Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune!!!

Books:

The Bible, Captivating, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, Harry Potter Series, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Giver, Maniac Magee, Number the Stars, lots of other children's books, Memoirs of a Geisha, Eragon, The Notebook and pretty much anything that can hold my attention long enough to finish the book.

My Blog
