Springtime in AK
Hello :) Its a beautiful day in Alaska! We had a snowstorm yesterday and today I woke up to gorgeous sunny melting weather. You come to expect the unpredictable weather living up here. It gets pretty ridiculous sometimes.
Being a shift supervisor has been wonderful so far! I have loved doing something different and not being on the floor quite so much. My duties are more money and deployment focused nowadays. I spend my day directing people and making sure the store runs smoothly. I have been able to work more hours, which makes the small pay raise well worth it. My shift is normally the open shiftwhich starts at 4:30am, so we go to bed real early around here. I get off around 1 at the latest which is when i get to do housework or hang out with my mom or make dinner before Jordan comes home, so its been working out well.
Jordan's work has been going well, but we're coming up on a very uncertain future. The base project will be ending in a couple weeks, then Jordan goes to Oregon for the month of May to work for his dad. I get to join him May 18 for a couple weeks. His sister, Katie, will be getting married May 30. It will be so nice to see the in-laws and help with wedding stuff. We are super excited for her :D After the wedding we return to AK (June 2) and supposedly there will be some last minute finish work/cleaning at the base project to do for a couple weeks. Then...nothing. No one knows of any work lined up after that, so Jordan is trying to decide if we should stick around and hope another base job is the answer (talk is that this may be a possibility) or work on an odd job they may have for him or if we should try our luck on the Kenai Peninsula, which is where we are hoping to move to in the near future anyways.
We had a wonderful Easter with the family on the peninsula. I've been working on adress for Katie's wedding and finishing up the house projects in my spare time. Jordan's been to a sportsman's show and growing a beard for awhile now...its HUGE!! My man has acclimated to AK quite well and if you didn't know any better one would believe he was "Alaskan Grown" I think.
Happy Spring Everyone!
