Oh Dark Horse, your coffee-themed witticisms never fail to make me smile.

Sadler’s Alaska Challenge
During the summer of 2000, I was looking for an adventure – I was home from my first year of college and even though it was great to be back in AK, I felt discombobulated. I tried to distract myself by filling my days as full as possible by working, coaching soccer, house-sitting, camping, hiking, etc. But I still wanted to find something more. And then I found it: Sadler’s Alaska Challenge.
The Amazing Dr. Faulkner
You know those things you don’t really want to do, so you put them off, and put them off… but eventually they catch up to you and you just have to grit your teeth and do it? Visiting the optometrist (or doctor, or dentist) is generally one of those things on my not-super-fun list, but last week my long overdue visit to the eye doc finally caught up to me. I dragged myself to the appointment early one morning… and then remembered why it’s not so bad after all: Dr. Faulkner is pretty darned amazing.

Not-so-wildlife
My lifestyle is about as urban as you can get in Anchorage. I love it – work, dining, art, trails, shopping, parks, and all sorts of other amusements (even fishing!) are within a short walk, and if we tire of “city livin'” it’s only a matter of minutes to get away.
Love Story
Two years ago, I married my best friend. I wrote this story for our wedding website; it makes me smile to read it again. I think it’s time to add a couple new chapters though!
Stories Around Town: Mosquitos, Ship Creek, and Happiness
Dang those mosquitos are nasty this year! I snapped this giant bloodsucker painting (it spans the entire back of a truck) between slapping mosquitos and sneezing violently (because allergies are nasty this year too). With that loveliness, please enjoy some of my favorite stories from the week.

Fourth Follow-up Fun
I posted too early yesterday – I should have waited and shared the rest of our fun Fourth!
Happy Fourth of July!
I hope that you are having a wonderful Fourth of July holiday, despite the drizzle and grey skies.
