Memorial Day

We left Seward early Monday morning after staying an additional night. It was sure great to spend time with Cam's Aunt and we ended Sunday evening with a bon fire, good conversation and smore making.

After leaving Seward we started the 2 hour drive north. What do you want to do for the day? was the question we asked our selves. Let's go see another glacier. We stopped in Girdwood. Not much there but looked like some awesome biking trails during the summer.

We continued north to Wasilla because I had heard about the Matanuska Glacier. We then veered towards Palmer and we 2 hours later we made it. What a magnificent glacier!! We didn't quite know where we were going and I wasn't too sure of the long dirt road down the hill....but we made it and the lady warned us to stay on the trail. Well we got off the trail and walked right into the middle of the glacier. We weren't the only ones and boy it was beautiful. The blue hues, the glacier waterfall and the glacier pond (cam said the water wasn't too bad).

We sure had a great extended weekend before Cam's busy work season starts and I start traveling in the month of June for work. We hope everyone had a great start to the first weekend of summer!

Seward, AK

For Memorial Day Weekend we drove from Anchorage to Seward and are now spending time at Cam's Aunt Jan's house. It sure has been nice visiting her. The last time we saw her was 4 and half years ago at our wedding.

Although Aunt Jan had to work today we were still able to get out and seem some of the sites. Exit Glacier is about 15 minutes from her house. We hiked for about a hour and half today and it sure felt great to get out into the out doors!

13 Weeks

We had our 13 week appointment yesterday and so far everything looks great. Cam was able to go to the appointment with me and he got to see the baby and hear the heart beat for the first time. The little one was very active for the 30 minute ultra sound. Baby kept moving, rolling over and it even looked like it had the hiccups. Cam said he/she is just like Uncle Andrew, can't sit still for anything :) I am starting to feel less tired and finally have the energy to do things.

Where has the time gone?

We have only posted 2 posts in the last 2 months, where has the time gone? Spring time has arrived in Nome. Malinda had a very hectic month at work at the end of March and now the school year is coming to a close. The house is coming together. We are slowly moving out of the old one.

We are also happy to announce that we are going to be expecting in late November. We found out in March that we were pregnant and just told our family and friends last week. We are through the first trimester and life is great. We flew to Anchorage in April to confirm the pregnancy and also received our first picture of our bundle of joy. We have another appointment on Friday and then we go for a road trip to Seward, AK to spend Memorial Day weekend with Cam's Aunt Jan.

Gym Time...

Spring is flying by here in Nome...Cam had training in Anchorage a couple of weeks ago and I flew down for the weekend to meet up with him. We finished up buy things for the house and are now slowly getting the house feeling like it's "home".

I received an email today about the Kent Meridian High School Gym being remodeled this summer. Boy did it bring back a flood of memories from my childhood and even my early adult years...I remember going to KM Basketball Camp in the 6th grade, I remember going and watching the varsity basketball games when Benishe Dillard and Kristen Deal were the stars and they went on to win State that year, playing in the junior high band for the Martin Luther King Jr. Assembly at the high school, running stairs, pep assembly's, indoor softball practices, running out onto the floor right before games, dance assembly's, watching my brother wrestle all 3 years in high school...these are just a few that come to mine. All of them good and hold a very special place in my heart.
