Just a little bit of Nothing

So I feel like writing a blog. I don't really know what to write about so, I have decided to write about nothing. Nothing is a very odd word. If you think about it, the word nothing doesn't mean anything really. Nothing can be whatever you want. So take a moment and think about nothing... What comes into your mind? Anything? For me, nothing is everything. I have noticed you can't really think about nothing. So the next time you ask someone what their thinking and they say nothing, you probably know that isn't true. So, the moral of the thought is... enjoy thinking about something. Life's too short to think about nothing!!! It's not even possible!

Spring is here

I know my last post was about moose...but this morning when Devin took Lexie out for her morning ritual she started to bark. This is unusual for Lexie in the mornings, so we ran to see what she could be barking at. Sure enough there was a moose having his breakfast on our bushes outside. This was Lexie's first encounter with a moose. I don't know if she knew what to think. As a proud parent I am happy to say she handled herself very well. At least we know now she won't run and hide behind a tree if she encounters another one.
I am EXCITED to say that my fingers are no longer frozen! Spring is here. Most of the snow in my yard is melted and I can actually see our landscaped lawn! My favorite part about the Spring right now is that birds are starting to appear in the sky. Geese, swans, eagles, and other fowl in the air that I have no idea what they are but it is fun see them. I guess my Dad really made me love looking for the birds and watching them, mesmerized in their graceful wings as they sore through the sky. Again my thoughts are towards nature and it's beauty that I am surrounded by daily! Devin and I are blessed to live in such a beautiful and magnificent place God has created for us!

Moosie

I wanted to post that as I am sitting writing to you outside my office window I see this cute moose. It is probably only a year or two but it is eating the branches of the trees. Oh it is looking at me!!!! WOW only in Alaska! It is amazing that little things like this can make me smile and get excited. It has been outside my window for about an hour. To bad I don't have a camera. I guess you will have to close your eyes and picture it.

Fingers still frozen!

Today has been another cold day. It hit -10 in Palmer this morning. I would think that by the middle of March things would be warming up.... The answer is no. All I can picture right now is being with Anna in her warm climate weather. Although in the Summer I am sure the role will be reversed.

Attaching to my blog today is where I would like to be. In sunny California. This picture was taken last week in about 70 degree weather. How lovely!!!!! Hope you all have a great warm day! I think I will go make me a cup of hot chocolate!

Love you

Jenny

YAHOOOOOO

Well I thought that since it is Friday afternoon I would relax a little at work and add a new post. It seems here in Alaska everyone is sick. Every house I go, to at least one person is sick. In our office today half of my co workers are home with this nasty head cold. In fact, I am the only Program Coordinator left in the office. I have been going through Purell hand sanitazer like crazy and popping vitamins right and left. I am proud to say that I have not gotten any of the viruses yet but there is still cold weather and more of it to come. I am Thankful for my health. I feel very fortunate to have good health and no problems to speak of.
Devin has been in California for the past two weeks. I am going to pick him up later on this afternoon. I am really excited to have him home and to have some company. He had such a wonderful break from the cold weather. He was able to drive the coast of California. He says that it was beautiful and refreshing to get a tan and walk outside with out shivering! He also was able to have a successful time finding more information about the fishing in CA. He even told me he wouldn't mind living in Cresent City, which is a small fishing community in Northern CA.
As for me, life has basically remained the same. I am just happy it is Friday! Nothing like a good weekend to refresh you.

Love you all!!!!!

The Bitter Cold

Life here in Alaska today is cold. There is no doubt about it! When your inside, it beautiful! Sunny, blue skies, the snow shimmering but the second you walk outside you have to catch your breath because of the negative tempatures hitting you like a brick. Today they say that temp low is -15. On a positive note there is no wind chilling you to the bone making the tempeture colder.
I can not complain because of the clear skies we are able to have a wonderful commute to and from work. The mountains in the area which we live (Palmer) are breathtaking and beautiful. Every night as the sun sets I am always amazed at the beauty that is here in Alaska. Although our commute is on an average 50 min Devin and I both feel it is worth it. Living away from the city relieves a lot of stress!
Well I hope you all have a great weekend and hopefully I will be able to get some good pictures with the clear skies to post.
Remeber we love you all and would love to hear your comments!!!!!!!!
