an exciting life

So I was on the phone yesterday with a girl from the Vancouver Clinic, making a shots appointment for Wyatt & a follow up for me.  She wanted to confirm she had the right address.  

 Yep, I told her, the PO Box is accurate. We live in rural Alaska during the school year, my husband is a teacher, and we are just here for the summer.  


Is it always dark there? she asked.

 I told her no.  That where we live it does get mostly dark-- about four hours of sunlight at the most, but that in the summer it's mostly light. You get both extremes.

 We continued on, making appointments and figuring schedules when I told her that one particular day wouldn't work because the twins have Grandma's Camp. 

 Twins?!? she asked.  Wow, you have an exciting life!

This stuck with me, and I can't stop thinking about it.  

 I guess I really do have an exciting life.  

 For some reason her saying that really made it hit home.  

I am living an adventure.  

 And I am kind of excited to get back to it.

 Meanwhile we are making the most of our time here,
enjoying family, friends & the Great Northwest.

 I miss blogging and will be happy to get back into my routine of consistent blogging.  


I appreciate everyone who has mentioned they miss me... miss the blog.

 After a while I started to wonder if my life is really all that exciting to read about, but you loyal readers have made it clear you miss my posts & that makes my heart swell. 

 Thank you!
