Things so far

I've been in Alaska for a month now. Oh wow, I've done so much. I really need to post some pictures as soon as I get my new computer. The first week I was here I went deep sea fishing. Carrie and I pulled in a 121 pd halibut. It was hard, but so much fun. I've gone 4 wheeling on the beach and all over Gustavus. 2 weeks ago I saw my first bear and a few days later saw another one. The wild life here is amazing!
Last week a few of us canoed across the bay, about 2 1/2-3 miles to an island and hiked around a bit. That was very cool. The ground was covered in ferns and trees. It was straight out of National Geographic.
The work has been awesome. I wake up every morning excited to get in the kitchen and start cooking. Carrie and I get for the most part free rein in the kitchen, so we've have a lot of fun planing our menu.
The guest have been pretty cool for the most part. The only hard guest I've had so far has been a guy named Rick Turek, just kidding, it was really nice having a familiar face here and during my first week here. We did have some very interesting guys from South Carolina here a week and a 1/2 ago. They were not nice guys.
So that's it so far. I'm hoping to have many more experiences while I'm up here. There is a Husky ranch here, hopefully I'll get to go mushing. And, my birthday is in a few weeks, Woo Hoo I'll be 30!
So until next time, laters!

And off i go

Hello all,This is the first ever blog for me. I never thought I'd be doing one because I never thought I'd be in a place where I couldn't just call or text my friends. Today is the last day of work for me. Its a bittersweet experience for me. Maybe more sweet than bitter, ha ha. I've made some great friends at Sundance and I'm really going to miss everyone there.I have a very stressful and sad weekend ahead for me. If I didn't say goodbye to you, don't feel slighted, I'm just so overwhelmed I dont know which way is up.Next week I'll be in California hanging with my family and some good friends, then its off to Alaska!!! I'll write again once I'm up there and hopefully I'll have some fun pictures to post.Thanks again everyone who has made my life in Utah such a wonderful experience. I'll miss you all so much!!LatersB
