Last Week...

This is my last week in Bremen, Ohio! I officially am leaving July 31st for orientation and training. In answer to everyone's question about the sunrise/set times please follow this link: http://www.calendar-updates.com/sun.asp?PostalCode=99621. You can see the amount of sun I will be getting any day of the year. Currently I will be getting 17 hours of sunlight. Score!

So there is an addition to the Heather Diamond family and her name is Igloo Aurora Diamond, or Iggy for short. She is short and white and snuggly. My mother kindly gave her to me to protect me in Alaska,



The next blog will be from Alaska with pictures!

If you squish a spider with a full dehumidifier...

You get a big mess and have to call your daddy to clean it up. After this incident I googled spiders and Alaska and found they are pretty good in the spider department. I feel much better now. Because otherwise I would be running through the streets of Kwethluk trying to find a spider warrior to kill and remove carcases from my home.

First Confirmed Visitor!

I am so excited, my first confirmed visitor! A big shout out to Heather Rossi, the most lovely Heather ever! I just got all my paperwork and am pretty busy, but really heartened so many are willing to make the trek!

Getting Started...

Hello Family and Friends! This will be my official blog for the time I live in Alaska. Hope you enjoy this wonderful piece of literature. I thought I would start it now to keep you up to the minute on the moving process. Here's what I know so far:

• I will be in Kwethluk, Alaska.
• I will teach seventh grade, all subjects to about 15-20 students.
• My hair must be cut to the same length so it can grow out without me looking like a punk rocker.
• My mommy bought me a great polar bear named Igloo (Iggy) to help me make the journey.  
• Turns out moving to Alaska is exciting!

Love you all, enjoy the posts to come!
