Palmer, Alaska and the Alaskan Highway

This is a road going into Palmer, meaning, one of the roads we will be driving when we go to Anchorage!

Palmer, Alaskan Mountains


I am SO EXCITED for the Northern Lights, you have NO IDEA.



Lastly, this is the Alaskan Highway. We're leaving the dear highway when we get into Tok, Alaska. But still. I'm very very very very excited to drive that Highway!!

Was that your limb?

"I was running to catch the 9 train, early in the morning tuesday. Apparently I wasn't the only one. I saw you down the subway stop ahead of me. You were sprinting, and collided with a support column. Your prosthetic arm flew off, and you kept running. You made the train, and I did not. All that was left was your lovely arm, glistening from the summer humidity. It smelled of pine and saddleneck oil. I have it now in my living room. it's sitting in a hallway basket with some umbrellas and a digeridoo. Contact me: I'd like to meet the rest of you.

- Susan"


Uhm, Amber and I found this on Best of Craigslist. That's all we can say.

Just so you know it's real

Indeed.

Well, I'm at Amber's, per usual. We made food, per usual, and it was delectable. We watched The Office, which was amazing. We looked at amazingly gorgeous, and some incredibly hideous, vintage wedding dresses for Amber's future marriage to Jake. We counted all the cities we'll be driving through while going to Palmer, Alaska. [122, give or take] We made a list. I love lists. We're poor, but it's going to be amazing either way. We're going to get amazing parachute hammocks, and drive the Subaru. Which we just discussed needs a name.

For our lists, we need to do some research. Camping stuff, emergency kit... Also, the highway we're going to be traveling on are maybe paved? Mostly paved? Pray we don't die.

I love camping. www.rei.com

A Busy Day

I've just returned from a day in Idaho Falls with my bestie and her mother. I tried on skinnys for the first time, and I liked them. We bought "Corporate Clothes" for Amber. It was fun. Very professional. We went to the mall, Target, Bajio's, and Sam's Club. What a wonderful time! I really like spending time with Amber and Stacy. They're fun. But alas, I am very exhausted.

But I thought I would update everyone on my life anyway. :]
