April 22nd-Day 23

 Cass and I had an early start to our morning, I got to drop her off at the ferry terminal to take her CDL test. She was nervous, but she passed her test, first try! Mine should be this Monday, but I still have no time or confirmation if it is for sure happening, I just have to go with the flow and be flexible. After arriving back home, I worked on my blog for a while. I am trying to figure out a good schedule as well as the logistics of posting everyday. Maybe every two days, we'll see! I had some more driving training today as well with Cam, he was happy with my driving, I just need some more time with the Pre-Trip.

Next on my to-do list was to go take my daily walk. Today I got to go on a new trail with Kelsey! The trail happened to be hiding right near our house unbenounced to me. It had a great view of the surrounding mountains of both Douglas Island and Juneau, and I can't wait to explore it some more. 

When I got back from my hike Madison and Oyster were in the kitchen making a couple different meals. We were talking about things when Zane came over and joined the party. Then Madison made chocolate chip pancakes for everyone, which were delicious! Definitely had a little family moment all together, I'm super appreciative of her being so generous. 

Later that night we were going to go to a drag show to celebrate Hannah’s 25th birthday, but the birthday girl accidentally ordered the wrong ticket, so I gave her mine instead. Paz and Adam made brownies for Hannah and they were also delicious, and oh I forgot to mention Madison also made brownies too, it was a great day to eat!

Madison, Kelsey and I decided to stay in and watch a few episodes of a Netflix documentary and eventually I headed to bed. After 3 days of 15 hours of sleep I was excited to sleep in tomorrow!

May 3rd- Day 35

  I leave for Georgia today for Graduation, but first a full day of training. Today I had a Guides choice hike tour which involves a 4-5 mile strenuous hike in Tongass National Forest. My lead Guide was Mike and he is a glaciologist, which is super cool and unique. I had to speak a lot more during this tour and it felt a bit more real that I will start leading tours next week. I was able to talk about plants so I was happy, but since this whole training session lasted from 9-4pm, I was completely pooped. Once I got home I quickly showered, put my final items away and got ready for my flight at 6:50. I read the boarding and departing time wrong, but since Juneau’s airport is so small I walked through security and to my gate in less than 5 minutes. This flight also was my first ever empty flight, and I got a whole row to myself! I got to Seattle around 10:30 their time and waited till 11:30 for my Atlanta flight home. I got some sleep on my flight to Atlanta but not enough since th...

May 4th and 5th- Day 36 and 37

  I am officially in Georgia, after a month of not seeing my parents it was a nice little reunion! I technically think this is the longest we have been apart, since during college I would see them regularly due to soccer games. I had a checklist longer than what seemed possible to complete in three days, but we were ready to see what we could accomplish. First stops were to pick up chick-fil-a and then yarn from the church. Next we headed home, where I got to see Gram as well as all my babies. Back out again to get some items as well as a graduation dress. Back home, ate lunch, then headed up to pick up Kayla from her college. Can you tell we were packing in everything we could within this first day! Also keep in mind I am running off two hours of sleep as well as a four hour time change.  Now we get to Brevard, drop off the dog and then head down to my favorite Mexican restaurant in Brevard, El Chapala. Side story, Alaska is expensive and their Mexican food isn't the grea...

March 30th- Day 0

I arrived with mom and dad in Juneau, AK at around 9:30 pm on March 30th. With a surplus of very large bags and minimal energy left, we waited for Scott Ranger to pick us up. It seemed like a never ending day, which it kind of was. We woke up at 5:00am in Georgia, and now after two plane rides, 7 hours of travel, 4 time zones, and a full day of exploring airports we made it. I’m sure we looked like zombies when Scott pulled up to us in the airport, the excitement of being here in Juneau wasn't truly here since we couldn't see anything in the dark. Once we arrived at the Ranger’s condo, we went to bed and fell asleep instantly. I forgot to mention that we were able to explore Seattle for a little bit, between our layovers, and I was able to get a special Starbucks coffee mug that I have been wanting since last July! Also, also mom lost her phone in Seattle at one point, but we got it back, What a day! This was an Iced Lavender Milk tea I had at a Starbucks near the Pikes Place ...
