Little Road Trip

Safe and Sound we are, in Montana.
The road trip and border crossings were great. We plan to hike up Big Mt. today. It is much more hot and dry here, and there is no ocean of course, so these are natural adjustments...however, we are so glad to be here, knowing it will be a good season.

Here are some scenery photos of our drive through Canada, Washington and Idaho. The black and white photo is Joseph's Grandpa, when he drove a model T across the states as a sort of pioneer as a youngin. We are inspired!

We also got to visit quite a bit of family which was a lovely time of catching up and learning.

Lots of love!

Alaska Goodness

ah, it has been a good time in Alaska. Family and Fishing are wonderful. Our nephew Elijah has been visiting us for about a week and it has been great fun. Here he is with his first king salmon!
He helped us smoke and jar up fish last night too. What a cool guy.

We both had our last day of work up here, today...for now. We are leaving in three days on the ferry. It is hard to leave Alaska in the summer but we know that we're headed the right direction!

We played music at a little coffee shop on the fourth of july which was fun...it is so good for us to take time to be creative.

Have an absolutely lovely day!

Moving to Montana

well....we are moving to Montana in 2 weeks. For how long? ..we don't really know, but that is where we are going for now. Lots to discover in life, marriage, friendships, community, music relationship with God and creation. Northwest Montana is a gorgeous place to be with a lot of creative people and winters that have to include snowmen.
Recently we have been busy trying to soak up as much of Alaska and family as we can.. We have caught 5 king salmon in the last couple weeks, but want to catch many more! It has started to warm up finally in the last couple days, about 70 degrees and that's hot for us Alaskans.

Here a couple photos of our wedding (almost two years ago!) requested by our friend Joanna...
That was a beautiful day! It is a blessing to be married and on our way to a new adventure.
LOTS of LOVE!
