Hey there, Alaska!

So this is the place of the midnight sun, hmm? Well, maybe the sun shines somewhere... but here it's been seldom so far. I think we've actually had about 3 sunny days which I've very much enjoyed! Otherwise the weather can be pretty dreary. And cold! I know most everyone in the country is experiencing temperatures above 100 degrees, but here we're hanging out right around 50 degrees. I'm just used to summer and the heat, so it feels weird.

We moved into our place (early - yay!) and have been slowly starting to set it up. Of course, the day after we moved in, Daryl had to go underway on the boat and won't be home until Friday. I'm trying to get as much unpacking done as I can by myself. I'm sure it's amusing to watch me waddle between boxes and try to reach the kitchen shelves which are crazy high!

On one of the sunny days I went out and took pictures, so I'll stop typing and start uploading photos instead. When the sun is shining it's not a bad view here. Enjoy!

See Daryl's boat? Facing the camera, dead center of the photo.

Oh, you mean this isn't the view you have from the grocery store parking lot? 

Silly husband. :)

What if....

So I was going to post about Alaska. I actually have a draft saved and was trying to upload photos, but that was taking forever and I got bored. I will post those soon, I promise.

In the meantime, I came across this video that was made several years ago highlighting infertility. It's not too lighthearted, let's make that clear. But I think it's really good to watch. It really hits home for me - and this is someone who just had to experience the very edge of infertility. By the grace of God I required only minor medical intervention to help me get pregnant. But I still know what this feels like.

(Note: the way this is filmed is a little jumpy at the beginning, but it gets better.)
