Food and Packages

I know some of these food look normal to you but to me they are rarity. I have learned to be happy with the little joys in life. Lettuce, fruit, anything fresh is a rare treat here. If I want to get anything fresh, I would need to have a friend shop for me, ship everything, and then figure out how to pay them. I appreciate any fresh food item I can get. Frozen foods and boxed foods are typical.


For Valentines Day dinner, we were provided with a lovely salad and pasta dish.


A huge shout of to Trina for sending me an amazing Valentines Day package! Felt so loved!



Of course cute hand made everything! I love the super cute owl. :)

New Shirt





Headbands Trina Made

I am assuming these earrings are handmade as well.




Thank you Trina for always being there and taking care of me. I love having you in my life and you will always be my older sister ;)

Some lovely Oreo Pie

First time making Salmon Patties

A concoction of pretzels, brownie mixes, chocolate chips, and icing. Delicious! 


My all time favorite!! Vanilla Coke. The goldfish were a treat as well. One of my basketball girls decided to treat to me.  


Sweet Potato Chili Cheese Fries

Rasberrie Pie with ice cream. Ice cream is another rarity here.

Had a dinner party one night and had many varieties of foods I have missed.

Homemade Pizza

Quinoa, chicken, and broccoli casserole.

Feeling special and a big thanks to Dave for making my day! Just some of my favorite things!


Thank you to a wonderful mom who sends me packages every month. It makes me feel so at home. 

I absolutely love coffee drinks and this was such a treat when I went into Anchorage.

 Love Fruit!

Steak, Salad, and Homemade French Fries

Steak Quesadillas

Thank you everyone for sending me boxes and making me feel so loved!

Just Hiking

Somehow this hike to the falls is always different. I never know how the falls are going to look.


Heading up the icy hill.


She really had to be strategic in how to cross. I just ran down the side of the hill.




We were able to climb up the side of the falls. It gave us such a unique view and some pretty sweet pictures.














Jonathan hiked up and got some good pictures of us below. We then followed him up to the top, hiking up the sharp and slippery rocks.







Oh the surprise element of Lucy walking into a picture.


Should I jump into the water or not today?





Looking to see what is coming up next. 



Always a fun adventure to go hiking with these two.
