Wow...where did the time go??

This summer has been super busy! I have found that I suck at blogging. However I am going to try harder!

This summer FI and I have painted two houses for extra wedding money. At first I thought what the heck do I want to paint a house for afte rmy regular job...But after painting the first in two nights and one day and getting the $3000.00 paycheck...all was well in my book. Since I now look at money in terms of what it can cover for the wedding that was a nice chunk. It also came right in time to put all of our deposits down. What can I say through all my complaining it was worth it!

We have only made it camping twice. Which is very sad considering we live in Alaska and do not have much time to enjoy warm weather:( But our last camping trip was our annual dip netting trip and we caught over 100 fish one day. Whew but the aftermath of cleaning, cutting, smoking, and canning...I can not fully explain unless you have ever tried to process 100 fish:( not fun! BUt it will be worth it over the next year considering the cost of Alaskan salmon.
