New Year's eve marks some anniversaries for me. One year not within in 10 or even 1000 miles of the 400 series highways! YAAAAA! One year of missing my daughter. One great year with Alan.
One year of firsts. So many to consider where does one start? First snow mobile ride on Frobisher Bay. First Toonik Tyme. First time in an iglu! First Celebration of the Seal. First catch on the Sylvie Grinnell River. First taste of seal and muktuk. First joy of cooking my very own arctic char. First arctic hare siting. First boating across the bay. First lick of an iceberg! First taste of arctic wild blueberries. First time ever getting moss on my butt!
New language skills; hearing the language was baffling, after a couple of courses I am able to discern a few spoken words. Though not very capable of answering in same I can manage a few basic phrases.
My daughter is moving here! She has accepted a job which includes housing and some other nice perks. This will be all new to me. Living in town but not together. We have lived together or miles apart. It will definitely be nice to have her over for an evening meal or movies together. Or to help her decorate her new digs (I haven't been able to in the past..)
Recently I have considered ending this blog. I figured the first year will be most exciting to blog about. What else would I have to say?We'll see.

Congradulations on making it through a year of first.
We actually blogged more in our second year. But then again we are a odd couple.
:o)
That is so great that your daughter is moving up there!
And of course you have to keep the blog going!
You MUST continue to blog, otherwise, I'll need to get a long distance plan to find out what's happening up there. I love to see your pictures and hear your stories.

Please don't stop blogging. I enjoy your blog very much. It is giving me a picture of up north that I wouldn't normally see and couldn't imagine.

You guys are cracking me up! I just don't want the blog to get repetitive. If Matt and Michelle and Matt and Kara have managed to keep blog fresh, maybe I can too.
I personally love reading your BLOG and hearing about all the neat things you do up there!
Moss on your butt and licking an iceberg?
Come on - those are classics!
Although, I want to see the picture of the moss on your butt next time!! Don't be shy now!!
