Lunchroom romance



From the bridge on Monday morning looking back at Sitka



View when I left work Monday

 

Monday night after an ice cream date



I don’t know about you guys, but I’m exhausted and it’s only Tuesday. Thankfully, tomorrow is Elizabeth Peratrovich Day (an Alaskan activist for the native population—kind of like Martin Luther King Jr. Alaskan style). So, tomorrow we have the day off! The sun is shining and the sky is blue this week so we will be hiking up Gavan Hill tomorrow.



Monday was my first day at work and they weren’t interested on easing me in. Sink or swim, eh. But the good news is I get to walk to and from work with Scott. The sunrise was so beautiful on the freshly snow covered mountains; pictures just don’t do it justice. At 7:30 the sun is coming over the mountains now and when we get off, a little after 5, the sky still has the lingering touches of light. I’m super excited-- Day light is here!

 I do work with Scott now but most days he’ll be out in the hospital doing other student-y things. Good news is he does like to sit by me at lunch (but we don’t play together on the playground). It was a great way to spend Valentine’s Day if we had to be working. 

Other side of the bridge on the way to work Monday.
Didn't have time to cross the street to miss the pole.



Today was a bit more hectic and a little more tiring but nothing I can’t handle. Scott was wonderful and fixed me a big plate of chicken spaghetti and made me a nice cup of hot coco when we got home. I’m so spoiled—I love it!

I’ll be sure and take tons of pictures tomorrow on our hike. It’s a part of the island we haven’t be to yet so I’m looking forward to the new views.

All our love,
