Alaska to Africa to... Adventures!: September 2012

Alaska to Africa to. Adventures! Living a Dream Wherever We Are! Pat had met most of the team, but until now I had not. Would they like me? Yep, I'm a little insecure. I also wondered how well they had gotten to know Pat! We made sure to show our true selves, made even easier by the fact that we had a serious hit of allergies. We just didn't feel the energy to fake anything, not that we do that sort of thing anyway! Respectfully ask to borrow and repost pictures that others took! Those girls weren't afra...

Alaska to Africa to. Adventures! Living a Dream Wherever We Are! We have gone through quite a bit this last year. At the start of the year, Melissa started a new job with an oilfield inspection company. Pat worked long hours outdoors welding at a natural gas storage site in Kenai. Our house was beginning its 3. Year for sale. We had no idea what was in store for us. We have very fluid plans from here on out. We hope to go to Ghana in January to build another I.T.V. When this is complete, ...I have been t...

Alaska to Africa to. Adventures! Living a Dream Wherever We Are! Last Days and Long Drives. Before we headed off on our way out of Alaska, we had to fit in one last trip on the Kenai River! We went out with Ed O'Connor with Advantage Angling (nice plug, eh? And we had a great time! The river was brisk in the wee hours of the morning, but we fought our way to our 3 Silver Salmon. This is the scene I had for most of the trip:. We decided to add our next stage onto the "sign" and hope we see it again someday.

Alaska to Africa to... Adventures!: Homecoming
http://teakells.blogspot.com/2013/02/homecoming.html
Alaska to Africa to. Adventures! Living a Dream Wherever We Are! I am debating on sharing pictures of the house on which we have just signed a contract. I don't want to jinx it! I am really excited about this place. No more pawning our belongings to others for unknown periods of time, though I'm not sure that was a bad thing for some of them! A quick peek of the inside; I totally love the orange cabinets and creative tile work! Hopefully our closing date will be the 18th of this month! I am so Lucky!

Alaska to Africa to. Adventures! Living a Dream Wherever We Are! Yes, I'm back! So, back to the title; Family Time! I have been so thrilled to be able to spend time with family this year. Just this weekend we had our family over for a Shop Party, and I just sat back and enjoyed having almost everyone over. The yard was filled with the sounds of boys wrestling and girls bossing each other through other activities! Baseball games with nephews and T-ball with neices! Uncle is a verb, you know! I am so Lucky!

Alaska to Africa to... Adventures!: My Grass is Greener!

Alaska to Africa to. Adventures! Living a Dream Wherever We Are! My Grass is Greener! The work I did do, however, did amount to quite a bit. I was the one who took the hard rake and cleared most of the debris, then the soft rake to smooth it all down before spreading the Buffalo Seed and raking it all in again. I was exceedingly tired of raking that day. Fast forward to today and you can see what a month of timely rain on sandy soil will do for Buffalo seeds! I am beyond happy! Pat suggested we choose Bu...

Alaska to Africa to. Adventures! Living a Dream Wherever We Are! Today at church I had a new friend of mine tell me that I seemed really happy. I've been thinking about that all day. I think I am. The last few months have been a whirl of activity and change. Most of it good, some of it hard. We have moved into a house, I started working, and we have begun to reintegrate ourselves into our surroundings! I was able to go to my oldest niece's play this weekend, and it was so great! All this to say, I am doi...

We have been introduced to Pella, Iowa and several of it's lovely people, specifically ones who have an interest in what we are doing! What are we doing, you ask? Why, let me tell you!

We did get to ta...
