Greetings from sunny Colorado!
We headed up to Alaska June 1st from Washington State with 2 big suitcases each, a carry-on suitcase each, and a few small carry-ons! What a crazy nightmare trying to pack the suitcases to weigh less than 50 lbs!
When we arrived, we had ONE day how to learn how to run a radio station!? Scary? yes. Impossible? Seemed so, but with God nothing is impossible! We made it through. We learned a lot while we were there at the radio station for 6 months. It was actually pretty fun once we got the hang of it. We both had never really done anything like that, and it was kind of strange hearing yourself! :)
The radio had 3 apartments in it as well! We lived in the three bedroom.
And for those of you who think we lived out in the "booneys"; here is proof that no, we didn't. :) Naknek isn't like your average Alaska village or anything. It is an town with an Ace Hardware, grocery store, Napa, etc.
Lacey at the radio!
This picture is fun! :) Working on the getting the cross down to paint. In July, we had a VBS/work come from Fergus Falls, MN. What a great group! It was so fun to have them. They stayed at the radio station, so we had 11 people there! What a party. :)
Here I am finishing up the sign for Hilltop that Mary, one of the ladies from the team started. Thank you Mary for starting it!
Another great view, this time from King Salmon; 15 miles down the road from Naknek.
And we had to post this, since you wouldn't believe us if we told you! We had a wonderful, abnormally warm summer!
Wow, we can't belive it's been soo long since we've been able to update our blog! Sorry for such a long delay- while we were up in Alaska we were able to check our e-mail, but for some reason whenever I (Lacey) tried to update this blog it wouldn't let me! So, now for some of you, there is LOTS to catch up on! For those of you who have facebook, you know I keep that quite updated. :) So, for the sake of time, we will get you "up to date" on our lives and post a few pics on here. But I'll also attach a couple links, so that you can look at some more pictures if you want.
Ok, let's rewind about like 7 MONTHS!We headed up to Alaska June 1st from Washington State with 2 big suitcases each, a carry-on suitcase each, and a few small carry-ons! What a crazy nightmare trying to pack the suitcases to weigh less than 50 lbs!
Well, this is all we had for 6 months.
