Happy Valentine's Day!

I made these strawberries for William earlier in the week while he was at work. I had to make them while we were able to find good, fresh strawberries.

This is about as fancy as it gets in Fairbanks/Fox, AK. They have great prime rib!

The Turtle Club had balloons everywhere. They always decorate so nicely for holidays.

My handsome and most loving husband!


I can't imagine my life without him!

Ice Skating at the Big Dipper Ice Rink

This was Adam and Amanda's first time ice skating.

William doesn't ice skate but he has the muscles to tighten all of our skates. This is William, Amanda, Peggy (Amanda's mom), and Adam.

Tubing at Birch Hill

Natalie's Hair Cut and Meeting Baby Brenden

No more pony tail! I love my new hair cut :-)



We finally got to meet our friends, the Dalton's, baby boy. Brenden is so cute and has a full head of hair. He's almost 1 month old!

Surprise Date Night!

William had a 4-day weekend and Saturday night he had a "surprise date" planned. He had reservations at our favorite restaurant, "The Turtle Club." Afterwards, we rented some movies from Blockbuster and watched "Duplex." He's such a great husband, I love him!


This is after dinner...we were so full! We both had the salad bar, best prime rib ever, a baked potato, coke, and shared a piece of Oreo cheesecake, yum!

Happy New Year!

For New Year's Eve we went over to one of my high school friends and her husbands house in North Pole. They have a son named Adam too. Yes, it's a small world. We met in Sebring, FL and now we are neighbors in Alaska. We live about 20 min. away from each other. Who would have ever thought?

Merry Christmas (Christmas Day)!

My present from William.

I got a happy light, ha! It's supposed to help with seasonal affective disorder when there's not much sunlight outside.

Look, I'm happy :-) LOL, it's definitely bright!


One of the best gifts ever and we both love it! Skookies are yummy and now we can make them at home!


William with his stocking from me. It wouldn't all fit in the stocking so I had to put everything else in a plastic bag, lol!

William with all of his stocking stuffers.

I was laughing because William was laughing at me as I was holding the knife upside down, oh my. I ended up exchanging this knife for a Spyderco because I couldn't open it 1-handed.
