Kwethlukian Flood 2012

Hello all, sorry to have been so neglectful of the blog. A brief overview of what is happening here:

1) I am coming back next, I will be Dean of Students. Plus, I am super lucky my roommate is staying and we get to rock out in the nice house again next year.
2) I will be spending a week in Walt Disney World at the end of May! My good friends Andrea, Kristen and Amy will all be there! Amy and I will fly out from Bethel together.
3) We are close to the end of the school year BUT what would Alaska be without a little natural disaster? So.............

Presenting "Kwethluk Rising" the blog post to kick off coverage of the 2012 flood.

Some pics from the village:

Of course the water is not really high up into the village but its thought it will either get really bad or go away.

The view from my house:

Kristin and I dutifully prepared for lack of water:

Classy

Some cool pics of the ice flow:

ANCHORAGE

Hello all, sorry for the delay! After months of planning and crying I finally got to go to ANCHORAGE! It was super fun but the greatest part was Running with the Reindeer! Here are some pics:


Me at the start of the race rocking the 396:

Amy and her bum arm pretending to care about the race:

Even Donner is excited for the race to start:

Blitzen was much more calm about the whole deal:

Me getting as close as I could to the reindeer in their pen:

Me getting a tidge closer:

Me and my new BFF Prancer:

The race was great- nobody was seriously hurt and memories were made. Highly suggest Fur Rondy to anyone.
