Caribou Sighting!

O MY GOSH!! Okay I know I haven't udated for awhile but that is because I haven't really been up to anything!! Viv was in Anchorage all weekend so all I did was work and sleep and repeat!! I did go to chruch this weekend!! And I didn't have to go alone!! One of my co-workers came with me!! Yay! The branch experience is amazing!! We only do one hour of church, just sacrament!! And they only have to use one slice of bread! Crazy! This week there was a total of 8 people there!! We also don't have enough people to speak in sacrament meeting to fill up the time, so therefore we watch conference talks! Kinda weird! When I get back to Utah it will be hard to go to all three hours of church again!! Well life here is getting better!!! I love it here! I am getting to know a lot more people! I love all of my co-workers! They are all so wonderful! We do breakfast or lunch dates all the time!!! I also play for Vivian's families slow pitch softball team, when I don't have to work! I usually have one day off a week!! And usually on my day off Viv has to work!! But yesterday was my day off and Viv got off early!! I stayed at work for two extra hours cause one of the day CNA's didn't show up! So I stayed there until she did! Then I got home and showered and got ready and then went back to the hospital and had lunch with Vivian! Then she got off at two (instead of six) Yay!! So when she got home she changed and we walked over to her aunts house and borrowed their four wheeler!!! Then we drove out across the airport and then out to a place on the beach called Cape Blossom!!! It was so pretty!! We also saw a small heard of Caribou!!!! Yay!! I was so freakin' excited! That was the first Caribou I have ever seen in real life!!! Holy cow!!!! It was so fun!! We drove the four wheeler right by the Caribou!! We were basically running with them! It was such an AMAZING experience!! O and as soon as we got out to the beach my freakin' camera died!!! It was so lame!!! But it was still so fun!! When we got farther down the beach this single one Caribou jumped out us and almost attacked us!! Ha ha! We both had a heart attack!! When we were there we also saw Crane! They are a freakin' HUGE bird!!! It was so fun to get out of the house and actually see some amazing animals! O we also saw a lot of dead seals! That was really sad and creepy! I wish that I could have seen a real live one!! But o well!! When we got back into town we were going to go out to eat but guess what!! The WHOLE town was having a power outage!! That is so crazy that the whole town can be out of power!! It was out for a little over an hour before I fell asleep! Well... I am back to work tonight! And my sleep schedule is totally screwed up!! Cause of yesterday I didn't sleep at all during the day like I usually do! When we got home from our adventure I was so exhausted I fell asleep at 5 PM! Whoops!! Well... I only have one more month here!! Which is bitter sweet! It ALWAYS is when I move! I feel so excited to move to where ever I am going but so sad for leaving my adventure that I am having! But I guess that is how it will always be! You always miss something! :(  But I can't wait to get home!! Cause when I get home I will be an Auntie to a beautiful baby girl, and a new cousin to a handsome baby boy, and one of my best friends will be back from his mission!! And for all of that I am SO excited to move back to Utah! But I will definately miss all of the amazing people that I have met here! I have learned so much from them! And I am greatful for Viv and her family for putting up with me while I am here! Well.. That is enough for now! I will try to update next week on my day off!! :) I would love to put some pictures up! But... The internet connection here isn't that wonderful! Sorry!!
