8 miles.

This morning I took the girls to school. Talked to a postal employee about my dilemma with Sarah Marie. They said they would keep an eye out for it and deliver it for me. Thank goodness!

Then I ran. I bumped into two parents from Autumn's class out on the trail. Brody's mom and dad. She asked me how far I was going, I had just finished 5 miles and told her 8. I'm happy to say that I only walked once and it was 2/10ths of a mile.

I picked the girls up from school and got a message from Pearl wanting to meet at the park. We grabbed some lunch and headed over to Psalmond Road Rec area. The girls played for about 2 hours.

We came home and I tried to nap, but that wasn't happening. The girls were just not going to let me!

4 pm, Millie falls asleep on the couch! Bad girl.

We are headed to church in a little bit, so I figured I should type to you now.

Everyone keeps posting pictures of snow and it makes me miss the snow.

Why are you doing this to me? photo 07PreWhitewash.jpg
Remember this? Autumn's first whitewash!

Two years later...

We trade snow for t-shirts in the month of October.

I guess no matter where we live, they will always be our Alaska grown.

I guess that at least if this is our life now, we are taking advantage of it!

Thanks for that walk down memory lane.

I love you Sean James Jordan.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

The count: 118 and 117 days of dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of you... and snow.

Snowzilla.

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e

I've gone back in forth in my mind a million times as to whether or not I should even write what I'm getting ready to write. When I think really hard about it, the truth is, I need to write it. I need the essence of who I am to be preserved somewhere. How I came to the decisions that I did, where my mind was at, where my heart was at in it. I need something that my children can look back on and try to understand me, or at least the essence of me. This tale begins about a month ago. I found a lump in my left breast while I was in the shower. I always do my breast exams in the shower. I'm pretty faithful about it too. About once a month or so, I check around and make sure I don't feel anything weird. That isn't easily done, you see, I have lumpy breasts, so I really don't know what I'm looking for. Lumpy breasts run in my family. This one particular day, about a month ago, I felt something that felt weird to me, but I was unsure about it.
