Bring on the sun.

March 15th
Tia and I made it to the end of cemetery road today. The first weekend we were here I made it halfway. No easy feat wearing many layers and heavy snow boots. I assume this accomplishment also means that my fitness level is increasing. One of the perks of living here is that food is included and the budget goes much further if you stick to the good stuff. Old habit die hard though and we still grad a few bad things here and there. I am glad that there is no fast food here, it was the killer of us while in the city. I'm sure it gave us both a 10 pound gain in the last year.
I'm sure that Drew has lost 10 pounds already because his job is so physical. I am slower at the weight loss but feel like I'm also losing. We have been walking to the library together on Saturdays to use the internet and  I have been going for long walks on Sundays when Drew's at work and doing my Just dance game once a week. Now that I seem to have adjusted to the long hours at work I am going to try to do dance a few times a week.
It's still dark when we finish work so Tia has limited walking at the moment as it is just too cold once the sun goes down. The 24 hours of daylight starts around the end of April so I would think that in a few more weeks we will be able to get a quick walk in after work.

  Cemetery road going out of town. Stating the obvious here, the cemetery is at the end of this road.
    Not sure if this road has a name, only a few roads in town actually have names.

'Hurry up mom'

Tundra boulders

Frosty face

Pretty snow

Airport fence

Looking back towards the town.

Seems like a good thing to do with a quilt?

Yesterday I took cupcakes to the flea market, not much of a south style flea market. More like many many baked good, half the town and jello. The people up here have some sort of obsession with jello and whipped cream.
One of the girls at work is trying to raise money to start a food bank here so I said I would help her out. Within 10 minutes of me getting there half of them were gone. They sure do love their sweets here. (Update, they raised $500 for the food bank, yaa!)
It was great yesterday that we actually had people to say hi to us while we were at the arena. We went the second weekend that we were here and it was a little overwhelming with all of the unfamiliar faces.

Have I told you how much I love it here, we really should have done this crazy thing sooner.

Now that I have caught up to the current date I'm planning to post every Sunday. On my next post I will fill you in on becoming bilingual, haha, yah right. And how the walk to work on Monday was something out of comedy. :)
