Abbee Daun: Adventures!!

Well... I decided to start a blog about all of my fun adventures back in 2010 when I was beginning all of the fun traveling!! And as you can see... That didn't work out so well!! Ha! So I decided to start it up again!! Yay!! Let's see if I can do better this time!!...

Okay for those of you who don't know I have made my way up North to the northern most part of Alaska! I am in Kotzebue!! It is a beautiful little island! I live with one of my old roommates and her fun family! Life here is a lot different than back home in Utah!! A lot more layed back and chill! It is very much so an easier lifestyle... not so rushed! I like it in that sense! I love getting to explore all of the places that I have been!! Here is no different!! Yesterday I went on three walks!! I am trying to learn and find my way around town!! I can find my way the church building, the store and where I go running as often as I can! Which seems to be a lot lately!! Everyone here owns a boat so that they can go up river to their camps! The family that I live with went up to camp this last Saturday!! It is beautiful up there!!! It is right on the Noatak River!! I also had to get a new phone for my stay here cause my phone doesn't work all the way up here!! Crazy huh!? They also walk, ride bikes, drive four wheelers, and few drive cars! I moved here for work... but my background check hasn't cleared yet, therefore no work for me yet!! I have been here a week and the background check started like a week and a half before I got here... Anchorage is taking forever to go over it I guess!! Now it's just the waiting game!!! So for now I am just hanging out at home until I can start work!! And I can't wait to start work!! In the last week that I have just been vegging out I have started and finished the first book of the hunger games!! :) And for those of you who know me.. know that I must be extremely bored to finish any kind of book in a week!!! :) Ha ha! O I havent' been sleeping that well either!! Because when it is supposed to be dark.... ya know like at midnight!?!? Ya... No!! It's like noon day outside!!! Haha! It is hard to get used to!! So we put a dark sheet up on the window in our room so it makes it a little easier for me to fall asleep!!! When I get home darkness is going to be so foreign to me!! Ha ha! The weather here is very chilly!! Although all the Natives think that it is warm... I believe that it is feezing!! I sleep in a hoodie, sweats, and socks!! Ha! And I normally don't sleep like that back home! But I do like when it's cold when I sleep... I just need more blankets to cover up with!! :) Well... I will try to keep this updated as best I can from now on!!
