So it’s been awhile since I wrote on here. That’s because I got ate by a bear and am in the hospital. Okay no, its because FSC (my employer), agreed to fly me back to YK for Brianne and my anniversary, and to complete moving in to our place amoung other things. So thanks FSC. I didn’t tell Brianne that I was coming home, it had been raining here for a week and so I wasn’t getting much work done anyways and it was just postponing the complettion of the project. So I emailed Cindy and asked if she could pick me up at the airport and surprise Brianne. She did, and when I showed up where Brianne was watching tennis she was very surprised. We celebrated our anniversary pretty low key but it was still great. Neither of us had to work for a few days so we got lots done at our place. We both really love it. Then after a week of being home I flew back to the Dempster to catch up on the work that was done while I was gone. It was a bit of a mess but I got it all straightened out after a long 18 hr day, till 1:30 am! So here I am, once again, stuck at the dempster with very little to do because while I was gone the two guys that were doing some of the work for me quit…or really just took off and no one knows where they are….hopefully they didn’t get eaten by a grizzly…
Also while I was home Brianne and I bought a snowmobile. I’m so pumped. I got a great deal on it, its hardly even been used, its only got 400 kms on the machine so its hardly even broken in…and it was a lady that bought it new and then sold it to me, so you know it hasn’t been driven hard at all! So now I was thinking that the ashby/foster family should go on a snowmobile excursion. Dough & Cindy on theirs, Joel & Darla on theirs, Arlen & Brianne on theirs, and Kurtis & Kaleigh on…the old 440 sitting out back! Perfect couples. It’ll work! Now I just have to convince Kurtis and Kaleigh that you don’t have to be couple to go…
Oh on another note, a guy “fell asleep” on a packer today and drove off the side of the road and rolled the packer! Crazy, its all twisted and smashed. woops.
**this part is from me (brianne). I was going to post a picture of our sled that arlen took but i don’t know how so he’ll have to do that when he gets home. I was also going to post a pic of our place but he has our camera on the dempster so I cant even take a picture! On another note, i do have the best husband ever… Not only did he come home and suprise me which was the best part… but before he knew he was coming home he had put an order in for flowers to be delivered to me on our anniversary. THEN he came home and it was too late – the flowers were already ordered and I got them anyway! ta-da. Now only like 3 weeks before he comes home… I’m going camping with a bunch of teenagers this weekend. Should be a blast!
