"From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea...Creation's revealing Your majesty"
I love Alaska... one of my favorite things about my state is this gorgeous drive from Soldotna to Anchorage (aka "the big city"). I put my WCC worship mix on repeat and sung praises there and back. BEAUTIFUL. God even surprised me with a breathtaking rainbow on the way home as I was driving on Turnagain Arm! Here's some pics and a video from the drive that I may or may have not taken while driving (oops!) :)






The Early Childhood Mental Health Conference was good- the information was somewhat overwhelming, but I definitely took away some great resources and little nuggets I can apply in my work. I really enjoyed the independence of the trip- being able to explore the city and check out new stores and delicious restaurants- I was so proud of myself that I was able to navigate on my own (armed with maps of course :) ) . I really enjoy this city. It has everything any other city has, plus wonderful cultural highlights and a breathtaking mountain/ocean backdrop.

Two new restaurants experienced and added to my list of favs: Gdoba's Mexican Grill and the Bear Tooth Grill. Delish.



While in Anchorage, I took advantage of the sales tax-free city and bought all the appliances I needed for the new house as well as fun kids books and other little treats. Aunt Kate hooked me up with some cool things as well and I was able to load up the company car for the ride home. Yay for no sales tax! Got home around 10:20ish and stayed up late with Katie and Michael laughing, goofing off and watching House (1313, there are good ones coming up!!! Prepare to be shocked!)

Today (Thursday) I did some fun things around town. Highlights included discovering a new coffeeshop and a SWEET used bookstore. (I'M SO EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO READ AGAIN...FOR FUN!!!!) I bought two Jodi Poucolt books and one by Diana Gabaldon. Haven't read works by either New York Times Besting author, but both came highly recommended. I'll be glad to give reviews once completed :)

I'm off to read!!!
