La Passacaglia (la pass-uh-cal-yuh). A.k.a. My sewing project. A.k.a. My sewing project that just might take me 10 years to complete. But I'm loving it! Truthfully 🙂 **Long Post Warning: scroll through if you just want to see the pics:) I first saw the La Passacaglia quilt on Pinterest and I totally fell in love … Continue reading La Passacaglia: My Sewing Project
I've been meaning to do a day in the life post for quite awhile now but IÂ never remember to take pictures during the day! I fail. So finally I decided to just do it with the pictures I do have. As a result, it's definitely a mod-podge of days, but you get the point! A … Continue reading A Day in the Life…
Our little corner of Alaska has been very busy this last week...more specifically the earth in this little corner! On Monday or Tuesday this last week, I went out for my run to the beach. Right after I hit my turn around point, a very thick ocean mist started rolling in off the sea. Not … Continue reading Oh, Alaska
First, I really ought to apologize for hardly ever posting...internet here has been 👎-totally awful. Like a couple weeks ago, we had a couple days off so Ben and I decided to rent a movie online. It took two and a half days...DAYS!!!...to download. Our days off were definitely over by that point so we just … Continue reading Running in the Bush
One thing that is very unique about bush life is how we attend church. When we first looked into coming out here, this was a main concern. Church attendance is a huge priority for us and we knew we couldn't/wouldn't live in the bush without access to church! Luckily, The Church of Jesus Christ of … Continue reading The Browns go to Church
Ben and I were lucky enough to be able to spend a little bit of time in Anchorage (the locals refer to it as Anchor Town) before we headed to the bush. Now, we were only in Anchorage 2 1/2 days and in that time we had to squeeze in 16 hours of restraint training … Continue reading Anchor Town
Before I tell you guys about my suh-weet beach find, let me tell you about my super obnoxious dumb blonde moment (ha! I must really love you guys!). First, let me preface this by saying that before coming out to the bush, I was working for almost 2 years as a teller at the best … Continue reading Beach Find (!!!!!)

Because of her love and charitable nature, and even in her own great need, she willingly shared her food with starving prisoners of war. Later, when asked how … Continue reading Sweet Somethings
One of the scariest things about moving to the bush is trying to figure out what you need to take! It is a daunting task, for sure! The village's little store is the only spot you can buy stuff-but the selection is limited. However, we are soooooo lucky that we live in a day and … Continue reading Packing for the Bush
Although PIP doesn't have roads that go to any other towns, it does have roads...not a ton...and they're all dirt and gravel...and they don't go very far, but they're there! The main road is a loop that goes around town and hits up pretty much all the spots you'd want to stop. It's about 2 … Continue reading Our Walk Through Pilot Point
