Slana


Well January was a fun month. I met Eric who is my new best buddy! He is new to Alaska and doesn't know alot of people so we hang out a lot! He is really outdoorsy and likes to fish. We have been trying out some cabins and attempting to ice-fish. My favorite trip was when we spent the weekend in Slana. We drank, played games and ice-fished on Jack Lake. It must have been -20 degrees, but we caught tons of bourbot. I am enjoying spending time with him, however, there are no sparks! He is definatly just a friend, but a much needed one right now. I have never been good at being alone and can't stand DOING things alone. Being single is definalty what I need right now, but I dont want to spend the weekend at a cabin by myself!! Also, we are starting a work-out program and he is teaching me alot at the gym. Finally a gym partner! I am pretty much an embarrasement at this point. I cant do more than 5 push up and can barely run 5 minutes without stopping, but I am trying. You have to start somewhere! This month I am also on the hunt for a house....

Wow... What a New Years!!

So I am actually starting this blog in July 2010. I am using facebook and memories to catch up on the year so far. This year was not the best Christmas with the awkwardness of the break-up and all. However I managed to have a good time. Bought my mom a gorgeous ring!! I was happy to get her something nice. Hopefully next Christmas will be a little better. New Years was fun. Went to the Sheraton with the Fischer gang. We all got dressed up very formal but my dress was uncomfortable and off in 20 minutes, lol! I also got some closure on a long standing issue and am so happy to move forward! I am looking forward to so many things in 2010. As always I am on the quest to be in better shape. I have to start training for PTO Academy (I will be able to transport prisoners outside the institution). Have to do 1 1/2 Mile run in under 15 minutes, 15 push ups, 27 sit ups. At this point I had the sit ups and that was IT!! I never thought running would be so hard to get started doing! I have never been in shape but am finally ready to make some changes for good this time!! I am looking forward to the cruise in February and Kathleens Wedding in November. Hoping to buy a house and get in on the stimulus check! I am single for the first time in a long time and would like to date casually for awhile and get my own hobbies. Dating will be something I have'nt done since I was new to Alaska 5 years ago! Well I better go out there and get started..its going to be a BIG year for me!
