You know you are in Kodiak when....

  • When traffic reports are replaced by the FISHING REPORTS
  • The water on the floor mat in your car is frozen
  • You automatically remove your boots when entering someone's home
  • You use flat-rate priority mail boxes more than envelopes
  • In Winter, you know who is taking their Vitamin D and who isn't
  • If you don't already have auto-start on your vehicle, you wish you had it
  • You know what a Coastie is, and it doesn't mean you live near the beach
  • You know what Xtra Tuffs are, and you have some
  • You have to do the Kodiak Stomp before entering a store
  • Just because you have a ticket to fly, doesn't mean you will actually leave that day--"weather permitting"
  • It's cheaper to buy DVD's than to have cable TV
  • Store clerks actually wish you a "Merry Christmas"
  • You hear people complain about having to drive "all the way to the other side of town" (10 minutes)
  • Traffic congestion is 3 cars at an intersection
  • Your car doesn't have a chance to warm up before you arrive at work
  • When looking out the window is more reliable than the weather forecast
  • You go to work, church, and shop with the same people
  • Driving a rusty car is "no big deal"

Yes, I was officially surprised.....

Matt through a surprise party for me today. Totally wasn't expecting it at all, seriously. I've been warning him about not planning a party this week, as I have a big test on Thursday.

Turns out he has been planning the event for over a month. I was studying with a friend at her house most of the day and came home to a house full of family and friends. It was completely a surprise and touching to see those who made the long trip to attend.

Thank you to Lynn and Randy for driving to Eugene to pick up Nicole. It was great to see her, especially since our last conversation was earlier in the day and I was wishing she was home for the weekend.

Wow! What a nice husband to plan a party for you!

Good Luck on your test! I have had cancer twice that is why we are traveling.
