Congrats MovnMama!


This fall feels AMAZING to me. The air is crisp in the morning and then it gets plenty warm during the day. Just great.

Things have been pretty busy over here. Adelaide started daycare (LOVES it), I'm working full time and it's amazing, DH started class, pregnancy is going well. Good busy, but lots of it.

For anyone in Fairbanks, our Street Outreach and Advocacy Program is putting on an art show for first friday (tomorrow. It's at Artisan's Courtyard and promises to be awesome.

As of Sept. 8 I will once again be a single parent. Don't worry, it's a good thing. I let him move in due to neccessary circumstances but I wont ever again.

congrats! I think I know who that dr is--I can't remember his name off the top of my head but I've heard very good things about him. (I'm in Homer and was looking at soldotna because i was considering delivering at the birth center up there last fall...i opted to stay home here and am glad i did cuz it was a short labor and i don't know if I would have made it up there or had the baby in the car...also there is no tub in my car and that would have sucked

I'm glad you're doing the right thing for you, sorry that it means you have to be doing it solo. Solo is hard.

DH just had an interview with Dimond HS in anchorage, but it's to fill in for someone who is wanting to take a leave, so they won't be deciding for a couple more weeks I guess. So we are STILL waiting on the possibility of a job... but we're getting pretty settled in and finding a routine here with DH taking his classes and being home all the time. DS1 is going to do soccer and maybe band this year, so life is starting to settle into a schedule again.
DH is out moose hunting as we speak. Here's hoping he brings me back some MEAT!!! (We've got a freezer full of halibut and salmon that's he's caught this summer, but I'd really like some red meat too
)

I wish I had a gun. If I did I would teach myself to hunt. I'd LOVE to get a sheep. They are so darn tastey.
Anyone know if there's an independant lab in town to do bloodwork? FMH has screwed up our insurance stuff for the last time.
