Well I have a new normal now because Beth is finally here and she's AWESOME! We've been sitting on the couch in pajamas together all night, having fun and laughing. It's amazing. Our kitchen is well-stocked and I can already tell that we are going to get along just peachy. She brought her snowboard too and I just bought my Eaglecrest (municipal ski slope) season pass so I hope to be on the mountain ALL the time. It's been fairly cold here recently (like 40s) and everyone says that winter is "coming soon" so I'm hoping we get some awesome snow.
Also, you should watch this video. I find it funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdqIpYhM6PE
So, the weekend was fab. I became a lawyer and I had friends in town. Marina and Joe had a great time (I think) except for when I dragged them all over the mountain. I picked hikes that I thought were easier (or at least not too difficult...except for the part where you climb up rocks), but I also forgot that I've been here for a while and my glutes are in great shape so I walk up hills like a mountain goat these days. It's not that easy when you've come from flat land. Overall, we did a ton of activities including a bon fire, a rope swing through the trees, hiking, playing in ice caves, visiting the brewery, eating lots of salmon in its various forms and otherwise exploring. They were also exposed to my driving. They heart Lester now. Who doesn't?! OH, Juneau is doing some renovations on the bridge near my house...which means that I had to learn how to 3-point turn in the narrow little road in front of my house. NOT fun, but I can do it now so I guess it'll have to do... The signs at the end of my road look terrifying, as if death is near...I'll take a picture sometime soon. I'll post some of these amazing ones from the weekend (and/or let Marina put up the much higher quality version).
