It's been too many years since I thought about my abandoned blog, and for this, I am sorry. But I have been doing many things and have gone on many adventures since. This will be whirlwind, but I'd like to get you all up to speed.
- Left Oregon in April 2009 for a job at the Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game, in Wildlife.
- Started back at school FULL TIME (with dedication in tow) the Fall of 2009.
- Ditched the lame ex boyfriend - I don't remember when but it wasn't soon enough.
- Went hunting for caribou in the Brooks, duck hunting in Minto Flats (flown in by friends!) and went black fish trapping too!
- I continued to work for ADFG in Wildlife through school, when I was awarded a grant to research the morphology of northern hemisphere bear claws...more on this later.
- then I met this guy on 5/8/2010, immediately proclaiming him as my future husband, whether he likes it or not:

- in May of 2011 we bought this house:

- Since these large leaps in my life, I've been scrambling to decorate, do homework, help my brother get hitched (yay!) and a multitude of other feats.
I have grown exhausted and weary, and yet my brain still says that I have far too much to say, and since Facebook isn't really the most appropriate platform for this type of discussion, I will {hopefully} continue the flow of creativity, take-the-world-by-storm ideas, and creations. I will also write innumerable run-on sentences like the one above because they are easier to write and because I obviously didn't learn anything in my English classes!
