Another rainy day




It's another rainy day in Kodiak. I have absolutely nothing to do today and I hate that! Back home, I could always find something to do (most of the time it was just hanging out at my parents for a while, but it always managed to fill a few hours in the day). Uggh!

We had a really good day saturday. We went to a place called Fort Abercrombie and took a long (2 hours) hike. It was so nice out and we saw so many beautiful things. We met some friends there, so they were our hike guides since they do that trail a lot. Saturday night, CJ and I had a date...our first one since July! We did a babysitting trade-off with our friends. We watched their kids friday night so they could go on a date. It was a very early night, we were home by 7:30, but it was nice to go out and actually eat dinner and talk.

Sundays bring football, which brings a miserable Julie! It starts at 9:00 a.m here and ends around 8:00. That means that CJ is in front of the t.v from breakfast until after dinner. With 2 kids stuck inside on a rainy day and nowhere to go, it makes for a long day! I keep threatening to get a job on sundays, but CJ knows it's only a threat since there is nowhere to work here!

Fall is settling in. It's been around 33 every morning when I go to the gym. People have all their Halloween decorations up, I really need to get with the program and do that too. It doesn't quite feel like Fall without seeing the leaves change though. I miss Dunkin Donuts pumpkin muffins too! I did figure out how to make my own pumpkin spice coffee, so I don't miss that as much (although it's never the same as from a coffee shop).

I heard that some people check the weather here daily, although it doesn't change too much. The best website to go to is www.kodiakwx.com. That is the site that the pilots use, so it's the most accurate. It actually has some pretty interesting things on it.

Nothing else is new here. I hope everyone is doing well. We miss you all.

  1. Hey Julie! Chin up girl! It's raining here too and really windy...all our deck furniture is on the lawn! Rain all weekend too so don't feel so alone with that ;)

    We're doing well here...getting ready for Halloween finally. I need to do our house decorations this weekend and I promised the boys we'd get pumpkins too. James is going to be Dracula and Sean is Capt. Rex (Star Wars) - what are Jacob & Maia dressing up as?

    The boys and I are going to get together and make up a "fall/halloween" package for Jacob...hopefully we'll get it off on Monday. Any requests?
