92 Days!

I cannot believe we're in the homestretch with Ian serving his mission!  He finally broke the 100 day mark and tomorrow we'll be able to say "three more months and Ian will be home!!"

Ian is doing awesome!  He just registered for school so we'll be waiting to hear about when he'll start.  Mallory has actually heard that she was accepted into the Winter/Spring tract at BYU-Idaho so she is very excited!  Mallory turns 18 next month and will re-certify for Lifeguard 1.  Once she's a level 1 she can be on deck alone, make more money and hopefully get a lot more hours.  Until you're 18 and a lifeguard 1 you're not supposed to be on deck alone...but, Mallory has been as she's proved her capabilities.  At one pool she's always worked alone but the borough pools are a bit more strict.  I believe she's now saved three people!!  Abigail is swimming...Annie is swimming.  As a matter of fact this coming summer Abigail will start training for the high school swim team!  So weird to think of her going into high school!!

Jezzie is about finished with her allergy de-sensitization.  I believe I have to give her two more injections and then hopefully she'll be done and healed!!  We shall see!  But, I think she's doing better!  She doesn't seem to be gnawing on her feet as much!

We've had some really cold days up here in Fairbanks!  -45 for days!  Yep!  That's a negative 45...below zero!  We've skipped school a couple days and seminary has been cancelled several days as they cancel when it gets to -30.  We've had a couple warmer days but it's supposed to get down to the -40's again this week.  This is life in Fairbanks!  It's not that bad.  We stock up on the essentials so I don't have to run to the store for anything and we just hibernate.  I actually enjoy the days off from running!

That's the excitement for now!  We've got to start getting ready for Ian's return and prepare a room for him.  With the renovations we've been doing in the girls bedrooms all their stuff is everywhere!  The piano room is full, the upstairs rec/guest area is full and the guest bathroom is full!  It's time for the de-crapification process to begin!!!

Spring is coming!!  Maybe just two more cold spells and then it will come!!
