The Newlyweds

As of yesterday we have been living here for a week! WOW! I can't believe I am LIVING in Alaska! It is absoltuely breathtaking. The ocean is gorgeous, the trees are gorgeous, the mountains, are gorgeous (some even have snow on top-which is so cool to me!) Some mornings I wake up and the sun is out and the moutains are picture perfect and HUGE and some mornings I wake up and the fog is so thick that the mountains seem to have completely disappeared... it is amazing! It defintely is everything they say. I have met some very nice ladies here, that have been very sweet and helpful and it makes me feel a little better to know some people here. Sitka has a very small town feel, similar to Troy, so that makes me feel better too, thats what I'm use to afterall. Bubba is underway for his first time on a cutter and my first time by myself in Alaska-and it has not been so bad, the week is almost half way done and he'll be home before I know it! I tell you what though, this weather has me a little "thrown off" because it feels like it does in Texas around Thanksgiving time and anyday now my body is expecting to be eating some of Zini and Aprils good cooking! Man, am I gonna miss that. But considering I will have alot of time on my hands I plan on being an expert cook when I leave this place ...haha, well Im going to try anyways. If I can master boiling eggs by the time we leave, than Ill be good -right April? ;) No seriously, I really am going to try to expand my horizons as far as cooking goeswhile Im here (lucky Bubba is gonna be my guinea pig-or poor Bubba depending on how you look at it ;) ) I miss home but Im really enjoying this experience so far. Well Im sure after reading this you'll have a good taste of how my mind jumps from one subject to the other BUT, Im not to worried because luckily those of you that are reading this probably already knew that! xoxoxo... until next time

I dont have any pictures of Sitka yet, but here are a few of Alaska from the ferry ride....
