Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I guess my mind has been elsewhere. A lot has happened since Allen went up to the slope. I drove to WalMart by myself on Saturday morning. Go Me! My two big purchases were a Futon, which I successfully put together by myself, and a polka-dot shower curtain. Many of you may not know my decorating dilema. I am a earth-tone person, I like greens, Burgundies, neutrals, etc. Well, my apartment is blue. Blue carpet, slate blue counters, and blue tile. Now, it isn't that I don't like blue, I do like it; it's just that I am not naturally drawn to it. So, I am at a loss in terms of decorating my apartment. The bathroom, however, is painted a very pale mint green. I was really worried about this cause there isn't much that can go with that (as well as the light colored wood cabinets). My worries were over when I found my beloved shower curtain at WalMart! It is perfect and I have great plans for accessories.

I went to a fight on Saturday night and hockey game broke out (ha ha....bad joke I know but I couldn't resist) I went with my landlords to see the Anchorage Aces beat the California Condors. It was interesting and I think I could grow to like the sport if I understood what was going on. It isn't as cool as football, but it is still a very intense game.

I did go to church on Sunday, but won't go into any details on that. It wasn't the type of church Allen and I are looking for. There was some doctrine issues that we just wouldn't be able to support. Needless to say though, I was getting kinda discouraged. I am all alone, no friends, no husband, and no church or fellowship. I was doing OK til I talked to Allen, who, by the way, got stuck on night shift again. He was really blah, as he is still trying to get his days straight, and he was even more blah than me. I don't know about you other wives out there but when my husband gets in one of those moods, I can't help but feel the same.....just cause he does. I decided that I had to start praying specifically for friendship and fellowship in Alaska. So I did. :)

The next day, I went to the post office after lunch. As I walked in, I noticed these two girls in line with coverings on. They had their hair hanging down so I knew that they were Christians (the Jews that cover up here have to cover all their hair) Anyway, I kinda waited around for them to finish when all of a sudden this grown man approaches me. He asked me where I went to church. (odd, huh) I explained how my husband and I had just moved into the area and were looking for a fellowship, etc. He introduced himself and said that those were his daughters in there and that he noticed my covering and wanted to meet me. He and his family home church with a few other families in the area! Can you believe it! He invited me to come next Sunday and I am excited beyond excited that I won't have to go randomly choosing churches again. I laughed as I told him how I was praying the night before for God to send someone, and I how I didn't expect him to answer me so quickly. But, we serve and awesome God who hears his children and praise the Lord He will never leave us or forsake us! even in Alaska!
