😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 I've discovered something. Teachers are more excited about summer than the kids are. Fact. Or at least that's been the case with me! I'm SO excited! Today is our last full day in Pilot Point. We'll be flying out tomorrow, (it's the bush so it's almost obligatory to add: weather permitting) right after we … Continue reading Summer Time
Here's a tour of our house for anyone who's curious! Now, I think it used to be a thing in the bush that teachers didn't have to pay for their housing. And that's not really the case any more...at least not anywhere I've seen. We do pay rent, but it's a pretty good deal and … Continue reading Our House Here in the Bush
I've been meaning to do a day in the life post for quite awhile now but I 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
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 (!!!!!)
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
The truth is, I didn't know a whole lot about Alaska before we started researching it. I could name about 5 towns in the state and I knew it was cold. Other than that-nothing. If there's one thing I now know, it's that the state is jam-packed with towns. Teeny, tiny, probably-never-heard-of-it towns/villages. And so, … Continue reading Our Journey to Pilot Point(aka:PIP)
