So sorry for the delays in these blog postings! But you luck out today and get several posts! Lucky you! Things have been busy here for us in Alaska. I have been traveling back and forth to the villages once a month and also my two town elementary schools. Jonathan has been working non-stop also but we have managed time to spend together on his days off. He is currently working 4-12am (swing shift) which is the worst shift as my schedule is 8-4 M-F. Needless to say, sometimes we are like two ships passing in the night but his schedule switches to nights soon. Yeah!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Jonathan's Sergeant suggested that we all have Thanksgiving dinner at the police station and do a potluck style. I made the turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, pumpkin pies, and everyone else brought the rest of the fixins. It was sooo yummy! Sarge even bought real silverware and plates which was awesome! Dinner was amazing and we all just hung out and chatted. Thank goodness it wasn't too busy at the station. Other officers and troopers popped in to say hello and one officer brought homemade tamales with homemade salsa! Needless to say, I ate a TON of the tamales and they definitely reminded me of Auntie Leslie's yummy tamales at Christmas time. Here are some pics of the festivities...
