The last couple of days have been pretty busy. Between getting ready for my move to Alaska and trying to squeeze in family time its been pretty crazy. About a week ago I took a short road trip with my brother to Springfield Oregon to check out the new Cabela's store. It was pretty cool, unfortunately the only thing that I bought was a few pairs of wool socks. I guess July is not the best month to go look for winter gear. On the way back we stopped at the Woodburn Outlets and I was able to find a large winter coat, snow pants and gloves. I ordered some goggles and my boots online. My goggles arrived yesterday and they are a perfect fit over my glasses (I was a little worried). My boots should be here anytime.
Shelly and I bought some things that I will be needing for my house when I arrive in Marshall. It was a pretty large list and I feel like I went a little over the top, but it will be necessary that I have all of my own stuff when Shelly and the boys move up and we are in private housing. I was able to get all of this into four Rubbermaid bins.
One more side note I received my Alaska Initial Teaching Certificate today. Pretty cool. I can't believe that I will be leaving in a little over two weeks. I still have a lot to do and not a lot of time to do it.
