The Days are Getting Longer...

And when the sun is shining, that means there is a LOT to do around here and plenty of time to do it in (as long as you don't mind sacrificing a bit of sleep). It seems like just days ago I was walking to school at 8 a.m. in pitch black night, gazing at the stars, the same stars that would shine above me when I walked home at 4 in the afternoon. Now I wake up at 6:30 and think I've overslept-- the sun is already high in the sky!


Speaking of sun, we have had 4 straight days of sunshine!!! The weather is even "warm"... might get into the 50s today! I'll be rid of this pale Alaskan skin in no time. Last weekend, friends Shannon and Randy took me, Kelly and Todd out on their new boat. It was chilly, but the sun made up for it. We couldn't go too far out due to the winds and high seas, but Randy took us to the ship graveyard on Hemlock Island and we toured around Chester Bay enjoying the ocean with friends.
