Fish!

We went on our first ever fishing trip upriver yesterday. We didnt catch anything, but at least someone on the boat did, Stephanie caught a King salmon. It was a fun afternoon though and despite being bundled in my sweatshirt still managed a sunburn. This also prompted us to have a serious conversation about jet boats versus prop boats and which one we might want to invest in come next spring.

On the home front, we have an offer down and now are waiting on the seller (happens to be the mortgage bank, ironically) on whether they will accept/counter/reject. We'll be working on getting an inspector in in the next few days too. An update from the moving company says our stuff is due to arrive in Anchorage on Wednesday after a brief steamship trip from Seattle. Then it's a waiting game, likely 2 weeks, at the airport as the cargo company is backed up with shipments. So there's a light at the end of all this.

More exciting news is the first paycheck is coming on Friday! and I can't wait. I've already come up with multiple ways of spending money but realize that wont likely happen until the 4th/5th paycheck has come in. But the new house will need a couch, some paint, some stools, a table and chairs, a desk and eventually get rid of the stained carpet in the first floor. Also more urgent will be getting a fridge and a working dishwasher, fridge higher priority than the dishwasher!
