OOPS!

I kind of posted the last entry on accident. It's our blog, alright? You don't like it...?get your own damn blog!
Anyway, Cassidy got a chance to meet my family and they all got a chance to meet her. I, um, well...sort of forgot to send wedding invitations out to a lot of people. My Aunt Nini was one of those people. This has resulted in a guilt trip that I do not anticipate seeing an end to. So much so that she made a wedding/Isabel's birthday cake for us. You will see the pictures of the amazing cake that she "Threw together."
It was incredible and a real gift for us to be able to spend time with them. Thank you to all of my (Tim's) family fr showing up and making it so special. There truly is no replacement for family.

The drive through Canada was a lot like a bad night of drinking. It was long, expensive, painful at times and I just don't feel like talking about it much. I am sure in years to come, like a bad night of drinking, the stories will become tolerable and even comical at points. One highlight of the trip is when we crossed into Alaska and the Customs agent asked us how many people were on board, Isabel was ver concerned that her glow worm was not mentioned. This resulted in Cassidy actually stating that we had four people (oh yeah...we picked up my brother, Brad, in Anacortes) two cats, a dog, and a glow worm. The agent obviously had children because without missing a beat he asked if the glow worm had proper documentation.
Isabel was so disappointed when we crossed into Alaska when there was no magical world full of snow and reindeer. We spent the better part of the drive to Palmer explaining that outside of Tucson there are actually seasons and we must wait for Winter. I think she's got it now, but she is still a little pissed.
Outside of Isabel farting on a wooden chair in a restaurant, not much happened in Canada. It truly is a boring place.
We are in Palmer staying with Jeanne and Mitch (Friends of Brads from his Alaska days) for a couple of days and then we will be in a hotel for the school in service. Alaska is just about the most beautiful place we have ever seen. We are convinced more and more each day that this was the right decision. Today Katie (Daughter of Jeanne and Mitch) took us to the top of a mountain to an old mine that just had spectacular views. We have just had an amzing time during this adventure so far. THANK YOU to everyone along the way!!!
