We are having so much fun here in Alaska. Unfortunately majority of the places

are just open in the summer. But, we have made the best of it. Wednesday we're going to play around Anchorage. If someone needs a spot on the plane or we get snowed in, there's boxing on Thursday...but probably not :(. Oh, well we are still having fun!

Alaska

Here's some pics from Alaska. We're here in Kenai, Alaska for Spring Break.

Picture frame for Gradma

A couple weeks before grandma passed away, I started to make this picture frame. Grandma, Margie and I picked up a bunch of beach glass at North Beach. As soon as I saw it, I thought "picture frame." I emailed them because I ran out of glass and they both hinted that they wanted one too. They sent me more glass and grandma died two days after I finished this frame. I dedicate this fram to Grandma Barb and gave it to Margie, her daughter (JD's mom). She loved it and displayed it at the funeral for others to see.

The Ring!

I got the ring. On our way back from the coast, we stopped at Ben Bridge and picked up my ring. We went to the coast for Grandma's funeral. It was so hard but we were glad we were there. I miss her so much. In memory of her, we made her mystery green jello salad and brownies for the reception. We went to her house and looked through pictures. It was probably one of the hardest things I had to scrapbook, but I made a display board for the funeral of beautiful pictures of her.

the ups and downs of the week

There have been many ups and downs this week. The hugest down of this week is my grandma passed away on Friday. After school, JD called ad told me she had just passed away. I am going to miss her like crazy. The funeral is this next weekend. We asked if we needed to come up, I feel like I should be with family now, but they said no. So we are going to head up at end of this week.

Another down is I have been sick all week and JD has it too. We have that nasty cold/sinus infection and being a teacher there are several meetings that you HAVE to be at despite being sick so I wasn't able to take a day off for rest.

The UP for th week is I got to finally meet Ali. JD and I went to Portland on Saturday, since the family didn't want us to come up until next weekend. I went to the scrapbook convention and he went to a baseball game. It was my first time so I was really excited and needed a distraction after the rough week. I took Ali's class "ALI'S TOP 10." and I had her sign my book. It was so cool!
