Northern Lights from our living room

Tonight we were treated to one of the most amazing Northern Lights displays that I have ever seen here in Anchorage.

Normally the lights are very faint in the city because of all the city lights, you generally have to get out of town to really see them...well, not tonight!

From our living room we watched the colors dance across the night sky in amazing fashion!

I was able to get a couple of photos, they don't do it justice at all, but you can at least see that I am not lying ;o)

The lights are really hard to photograph, and I think this is the first time that I have ever been able to actually catch them on camera. Only the blues and greens showed up, but there were streaks of pink in there as well.

Simply amazing to watch when they are out in force.

Does anyone still check this Blog?

Hi!

So we have been terrible about updating this blog. We kind of assume that most of our "readers" are on Facebook and are already aware of the happenings of our life. But we will try and be better about updating this, at least monthly.

The BIG news for us is that we are celebrating our 5 year anniversary in a couple of weeks!

Can you believe it? 5 years already! Amazing!

Time has really gone by quickly!

For our anniversary we are taking a few days and heading down to Seward, Alaska. It is a beautiful little town, somewhat of a seaside oasis and a really perfect place to get away and relax.

We found a GREAT B&B that we are going to stay in: The Alaska Paddle Inn

It is one of the highest reviewed B&B's in the state on Trip Advisor and we are looking forward to our time there!

Work continues to go great for both of us. I am really enjoying my new position at ChangePoint and have had no regrets about making the switch. Everyone that I work with is amazing and I really look forward to going to work each day! What a blessing! Work for Sherri is good, they have had a slower summer than expected, but it has allowed them to get work done around the office, so that has been nice. She continues to work 5 days a week, but will probably go back to get 3 day a week winter schedule before too long.

We are also enjoying a great streak of weather! We had a beautiful start to our summer and are having a beautiful end, but most of the middle was full of rain and clouds, so the current sunshine is much appreciated!

That's all for now! More later!

Job Change!!

Hi Everyone -

I (adam) am changing jobs!! This is a BIG change for us and I blogged about it over on my other site.

Read all about the change: HERE

MOOSE IN PARKING LOT - ANCHORAGE, ALASKA!!!

Summer is here!

Hi!!

I am SO sorry that I have done such a poor job over the last couple of months keeping up with this blog!

Summer is upon us and we have been staying quite busy!

We have already had several days in the 70's and a lot of sun over the past month! It really feels like summer is upon us! We have all of our flowers planted and everything is green and blooming!

We spent Memorial Day weekend at a cabin on Nancy Lake and enjoyed a couple of days away with 7 other friends! We swam in the lake, enjoyed camp food and laughed a TON!

Sherri has been getting busy at work and is now working 5 days a week. Work for me has been going great! My hotels have been full since early May and the busy summer tourist season is really upon us. I was in Fairbanks last week for 3 days on a work trip and I will probably be heading to Juneau in the next couple of weeks as well.

Next weekend (Summer Solstice) we are staying in town and will be enjoying all of the summer solstice festivals and concerts that are happening around town. Summer Solstice is a BIG deal here in Alaska and there are always a lot of things going on that weekend.

The following weekend we are borrowing a friends motor home and driving to Homer for the weekend with 2 other couples! We sill be going out fishing and enjoying the ocean and scenery in Homer! It will be another nice 2 day getaway!

We are really trying to get out and enjoy as much of Alaska as possible this summer. Most weekends we are busy with trips or events and I will try and keep this blog updated as we travel around and enjoy summer!

Here is a photo of one of our flower beds this summer:

Perfect Day in Alaska

1/2 through April?!

Wow, I can not believe how fast time is flying! Can you believe that we are almost 1/3 of the way through 2010?

A lot has happened since our last blog, so here are the highlights!

• I turned 30! Sherri, Mom and Susan surprised me with an AMAZING birthday party on April 3rd at Mom's house! I was shocked! I couldn't believe the number of people who came, people from every era of my life, it was so perfect!

• We also had our annual "co-birthday celebration" for Jason and I. We rented a limo and it took us to the Double Musky in Girdwood, it is one of the best restaurants in Alaska and has a pepper steak that the Food Network called the Best in America. What a fun night!

• The Easter Art show that Sherri and I participated in went GREAT! On Friday night (actual night of the show) we had about 500 people come through and then the pieces stayed up all weekend during the church services, so an additional 5,500 people got to see them! A few of our pieces actually sold and the response that we got was wonderful! We are already planning the next 2 art shows!

• I launched a new blog! It is called Faith.Life.Media. and you can check it out HERE .

• For the past couple months we have been taking a course at church called "Maximum Marriage" and it just ended this week. It has been awesome and we are very glad that we took it!

I think that may be all from us. It seems like the past month has been SO busy for both of us with work, life, church and everything else that comes up!

I will try and update this more often!
