Getting Ready for William's Family to Visit

Thank goodness for Coleman raised air mattresses!

I made a hummingbird cake

Training in California July 2008

William found this dresser (wooden box)and moved it next to the building to use as his bed and escape some of the sun. How fortunate we all are!

Yes, I know I haven't updated our blog in over a month. Sorry! More pictures will be posted soon. William and I both arrive back in Alaska next week so that is very exciting! William is doing well, the work is over in California and now he is just waiting for the Air Force (not the Army) to give him a ride back to Alaska. I am officially unemployed, yay (for now). July 31st was my last day of work. Keep in touch! Love, Natalie
