we're here for a some time with the fam and some long-anticipated water-skiing!! wahoo! and then we're off to seattle for a couple days and then leave for argentina mid-month.
at which point, i'll change the title of this blog to the oh-so-creative "kate goes to argentina":).
i think we both leave alaska with mixed emotions. g loved the fishing and the mountains. i feel incredibly lucky to have seen such remote parts of alaska and value a couple new friendships and had a wonderful snowboarding season. but its too much rain and i find myself relieved not to have to make it through another summer here. its not the alaska winter, it's the southeast alaska summer--no reprieve from the rain.
i feel like i'm betraying my midwestern roots by hating the weather so much. where is my ability to make the most of cruddy weather? to not be scared indoors? to tool around outside, ever-optimistic about the weather?
well friends, betrayal or not, i'm done with this weather. long live sunny summers!!

Woah!!! Argentina??? Did I miss an entry a while back announcing this move, or did you just wait to surprise us :) Tell me more, tell me more!!
Congrats - that sounds like a wonderful decision, although I'm sure it was a difficult one. How long do you think you'll be there?
just had some wine from mendoza...yum! you are in for a treat. i can't wait for you to leave (hmmm...that doesn't sound nice, but you know what i mean).
