Well, as most of you probably know this past week I have been in Anchorage for AmeriCorps training. The trip has been relatively good. I have really enjoyed it. Michael came with me which has been a great plus. I have been really enjoying the company at night, and whatnot.

Anyways, I first day started off with travel which went really good. Sheffield was a good dog. Which I was highly concerned about him, becuase well I really dont like traveling with the dog. It stresses me the hell out. Lol. Then Mike and I fight and well thats not good. But that didnt happen this time. Instead, I had forgottten I had a Nike plus thing in my shoe, and the security guys were back there really checking it out, and they were all concerned about my shoe having something in it. Anyways, finally mike is like you have that ipod thing in there. So, I asked them if that is what they were seeing and sure enough they took the thing out of my shoe. Then the stupid people had no damn clue what it was….. I couldnt believe they had never seen one. So yea that was a mess.

Then we arrived in Anchorage finally, where I have done a ton of training about energy conservation. Extremely boring things over and over again, but I do have to say that I have learned a lot, and I would like to share some of it with people back in our community or teach some of the kids at school about it. I think it is a great thing to teach people. Afterall, who doesnt want to save money. Also, while we have been here we have gotten to eat at Red Robbin which was fantastic as we both the love the place and havent been able to go there in awhile. Strawberry Lemonade…. Mmm. Anyways, back to the subject. Also, Mike lost his wallet the second day we were here by leaving it in a taxi when he went to buy us some pop. So he had to cancel out all his cards. However, lucky enough the taxi driver did bring back his wallet, which was great considering all the things mike carries in that thing.

Anyways, so now we are on our way home. Which I am extremely excited about being home. We have been sleeping in this room next to a a room with fighting people, and a screaming baby. Very lovely. lol. So yeah I will be happy to get some sleep.

Also, Mike’s birthday is tomorrow so we are going to be staying in Ketchikan and doing some stuff for his birthday. However, I am not completely sure yet. I will have to write again Saturday or Sunday and let you guys know how that went and what we did. I think we are going to be staying at my sisters house, which will be great for my sister. Sometimes I feel like our family needs to spend more time with her.

Well anyways, hope you all have a great weekend and I will update y’all soon on Mike and his birthday extravaganza.

Well, as many of you probably already know on my 21st Birthday Michael and I went into Ketchikan. it was a lot of fun. However, what I ended up doing wasn’t my intentions when I went in there. However, It was still fun. Anyways the morning of the 10th we went into Ketchikan, and Mike and I went to the Landing and had some lunch. It was very good, and a relaxing meal. Then we did a little bit of shopping and headed up to our hotel room. Well, we were going to be naughty, and then the famous phone call comes. Mike and I always get interrupted by phones. Anyways, It was my sister Jennifer. She wanted to come visit us. So, we waited for her while watching Dr. Phil. About the lady who had like 14 kids. God I hope I never have that many kids, at least not all at once.

So anyways, we visited with Jennifer. It was a pretty nice visit with her. Then we visited with Becca and Ronny afterwards, and they invited us to go out to dinner with them. Then MIke and I went out to Jennifer’s house, where Christopher had to tell us all about his blind dog “ButterCup” It was a pretty good dog I have to admit, but I don’t think a blind dog would get along very well with a blind guy. They would probably collide a lot. That would suck. Anyways, and then we met Jennifer’s new boyfriend Kevin. He was a pretty good guy it seemed like. At least better then some of the others that she has picked out.

Then that was the end of us visiting with everyone so we headed out to dinner at Oceanveiw, where we had dinner with Becca, Ronny, Kayleigh, Felton, Devon, and Jessica. Dinner was very good, in fact Oceanveiw is my favorite place to eat in Ketchikan. They have a lot of choices, and great food proceeded by Chips & Salsa. Very good. Better than going to Red Robbin if you ask me. But I still miss Red Robbin.

Anyways, then we went back to the room, and we headed down to Becca and Ronny’s room. Where Mike told Ronny that he should take me out for some drinks. So yeah, Becca, Ronny, and I went out to drink at the bars and Mike stayed to watch the boys (very nice of him eh?). I went and got a free drink from every bar in Ketchikan that was open that night. Which well wasn’t very many. I think I had like 3 duck farts, a strawberry daquiri, a martini, and a rum and coke. By the way Duck Farts are very good if you haven’t had them before I highly suggest them.:) We came across some very nice bartenders at a bar called Mike’s Elbow Room. They told me that next time I need to try German Chocolate Cake, which I guess tastes just like german chocolate cake apparently. Weird if you ask me. I don’t know how alchohol can taste like German Chocolate Cake. And also Tequilla Sunrises. I also learned how to play darts… lol. And got to shoot some pool with Ronny and Becca. So that was fun. Now I can’t wait til Mike’s Birthday to go do it again.

Anyways, then we went back to the room, and went to bed, and woke up the next morning. Did some shopping, and then went home. Overall it was a good trip.

Oh yeah, and I got an amazing wii game for my birthday it wears me out big time. It is called Outdoor Challenge. Very good game I would highly recommend it to any of you who play the wii. Mike also likes it I think. I also got some other wii stuff, and Mike got me some beautiful Butterfly earrings. They are my favorite color purple, and I have been wearing them since I got them. I love them! I also got a kool digital photo frame. I love those things. I was so excited to get one. Now I just need a good place to put it. Maybe Mike and I will just have to move into a place by ourselves so I can set up all my stuff. I miss having my own place….. Anyways, I think thats about it for now. Hope you all had a great weekend, and hope your week goes great.

Then we went
