It’s been well over 3 months
since our last blog, my apologies to those of you who look forward to reading
about our exciting adventures in Alaska. We have a good excuse though – which
I’ll get to shortly.
July was filled with family
visits from Jason’s Aunt Sheri and his Cousin Sami as well as my Grandparents
and My Mom. Jason took a trip to Florida for training in the flight simulator
program, which he is teaching this year in the middle and high school. Meanwhile
I took a trip to Seattle to see my friend Katie and do some major shopping. In
August Jason’s Mom came for a visit and right after that school started up
again!
Summer came and went with
what seemed to be a blink of an eye. School got off to a quick start and it
seemed time was just flying by. I have loved my new position as the K-8
counselor and Jason is having a great time teaching Computers, Health, and
Science this year.
We have 3 new couples and 2
new male teachers this year. All of them are around our age, which is really
fun. We’ve had bon fires on the beach and lots of dinner parties. We’ve been
blessed to see the northern lights what seems to be a bazillion times so far
this year! In fact, 3 times just this week! One night this week a ton of us hiked
up Yellow Hill to watch the lights and take pictures. Here are a few pictures:
So now for our big exciting
news! This isn’t all we’ve been up to. . . if you know anything about us by now
it’s that we like to keep life busy and exciting. And what’s more busy and
exciting than a baby? That’s right, we said it – BABY! We will be expecting
Baby Pipkin April 23rd and couldn’t be more excited.
Stay tuned in for more on
this new exciting chapter in our life!
