Footie Pajamas!

In Downtown Kody and I got matching footie pajamas! Ha we couldn't resist...

Downtown

The other morning before work we took a trip Downtown.  It was Juneau appreciation day and the tram was only $10 to ride.  We love Downtown.  It reminds us of a mix between Park City and Old San Juan Puerto Rico.  There are lots of tourist shops and fun things to look at.  The tram takes you straight up the mountain to some shops and a restuarant.

This was one of the first views we saw from within the tram

 It was absolutely gorgeous! There was a lot of fog up top so we weren't able to get the full effect but we saw enough. 

Here are more pictures of Downtown

A Sunny Day

Today marks the first day that Kody and I have seen a sunny day here in Alaska.  It is always bright here however its just very overcast and usually rains.  We've learned to say, "When do you think it will rain today." instead of, "Do you think it will rain today?" But it is so beautiful that the overcast days are just as pretty as the sunny ones.  I even caught myself the other day saying, "Kod, I almost don't want the sun to come out today, I just love the feel of this day." The day seems to be more slow paced and cozy.  Its the same feeling of having a rainy Saturday when you know you have nowhere to be and you can just cuddle up inside and read a book.  Imagine that feel everyday, it's beautiful. 

1st day in Juneau

Our 1st day in Juneau has been a blast! We get to stay in the bed and breakfast for a few days while they finish our place.  It is completely gorgeous! Such a cute little get-a-way!  Its an old vintage style house with about 14 rooms.

Such a big room with real live feather beds!

It's been pretty rainy today-the locals say it's really wet and cold for this time of year, so hopefully it starts to warm up a little.  The current temp is about 39 degrees so not too bad but still a little chilly.  We were able to train a little bit today in the Country Lane Inn.  It was pretty busy this morning but we were able to learn a few.  Still not sure on our work schedule but hoping to find that out soon.  In the mean time it's going to be a cozy night in with the sound of rain trickling outside.  

We went for a drive around town today and saw the beautiful ocean and a few stores.  There aren't too many businesses here, I guess a lot of people do clothes shopping online but there are enough businesses to get by.  We are realizing real quickly that we may need to purchase some rain jackets, haha! We were warned that umbrella's=tourist, and we don't want to look like tourists :).  Anyways all is well here! We love you all!

Good News

Well as you all may know Kody and I have some good news!! Nope... we're not pregnant but guess again... we're going to ALASKA for the summer! It is going to be such a fun adventure.  We'll be sure to keep you updated.  We'll be working in a bed and breakfast there and be having the time of our lives! Finals are almost over, then its time to start packing up.  We couldn't be more excited! You may be thinking, "What is there to do in Alaska all summer long?" Well here are a few things that we have found... There is a little golf course not far from where we are staying that is a perfect spot for us to practice (so someday I may be able to "really" play a game of golf with my husband, haha he's so good!), we also will be close by to the famous glacier that everyone talks about.  We'll be able to take hikes and fish and all sorts of fun things! All in all it will be an incredible summer spent with my sweetheart.  We know there will be MANY events that happen within these next four months; weddings, babies being born, baby blessings etc. and we don't want to miss any of them so we want to be updated on everything!! We want lots of pictures and stories so we don't miss out on these special events.  Alaska, here we come!!
