Fairbanks so far

We are finally getting settled in here. I was a little worried at first that I would get lonely cause there isn't 1 other wife out here! But I've been keeping sooo busy! I am so grateful to have little friend out here with me! She keeps me entertained, busy and I feel so blessed to get to be with her every day all day! I've made friends, joined a running club, and I am grateful to be working in the office! Our appts are crap haha I call our appt the wood castle cause they are all wood paneling.. but I am growing suppper fond of our location. I think having no AC, having it be 80+ in our appt all day, the smoke smell, no pool, the tiny kitchen, and the nasty carpets are ALL worth it because we live right by a wild life sanctuary! I have been running there everyday, and I swear running has been my sanity out here! SO.. moral of the story is, its worth it. I will miss it here when we are gone, wood castle and all! oh and PS. since we live a town away from the North Pole everyone is OBSESSED with Christmas! The lady next to us is still full blown decorated, Christmas wreath and all! Its gorgeous, its spring and everything is in bloom!! I love the sun out all the time! We havent been sleeping very good, its hilarious to watch Capri on her monitor try to fall asleep! she tosses and turns and rolls and tries climbing out of her crib (which she has biffed it hard a few times!) but I love it! It's so nice when paul comes home that it is still light outside! The weather here is PERFECT! It's perfect temp all day (except in our appt..Its like a sauna in here!)
I am growing to love it! In the top 4 of my fav places I have ever lived!

This is my munchkin 7 months old! LOOOVE her so much!


Playing with dad before the meeting


Running with mom


She loves this blue couch! She climbs up to it, and will jabber and look out the window forever haha


Waiting for Dad to go on our date...



Typical night at dinner.. yes.. they are entertaining. Always on their phones.


Date with Daddy



This is my friend Shannon! She is way cute and has a 10 month old girl! I took her to my mommies running club. She did really well, this is her first time working out after the babe and she just quit smoking a couple weeks ago so I am so proud of her for doing the whole run with us! all the girls at club are so sweet! It's so fun, monday we do track and intervels, wed. we run to a hill and then go up and down the hill/stairs, and fridays we go on a long run! I love it! Its way fun to hang out with these girls!

9 holes.. The crew

Capri has been teething so lucky for us she has been so cuddly! We are enjoying every second of it!

If I cant find Capri this is where I find her.. She LOVES baths! If i close the bathroom door she cries haha so funny. Love little personalities!


AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST...

Ok I know I am married and way to old for him.. but he is cute! Where was he when I was 14?

Wow it is beautiful there! I'm glad you have little Capri to keep you company. Baby girls are the BEST friends!

lol i have become quite the bieber fan as well. Okay how does Capri stand already!? She looks like she could walk any second!! Carter is nowhere near that- his balance is terrible, but I do think he'll be crawling soon. Alaska looks so pretty and I can't believe you're that close to the North Pole! I didn't realize there even was such a place for reals haha. Look at you and your skinny self in the running club! I bet that feels so good, to get outta the house and get some exercise, especially with NO A/C!! Are they joking?! I would die! You really are a trooper.
