Alert the press!! Darren drove me around to have some fun for a change....I don't know how many times I've picked him up and dropped him off at poker parties. Enough for a limo ride with my friends, that's for sure! This was a limo he had purchased and then sold earlier this week. The guy let us have it back for one night and it was so much fun! Kelcey (second picture far left), Nichol(second picture-far right), Darren and I started at our house then drove to Eielson for a going away party for hir former boss Rob. His wife, Bernie had to stay behind, but took a picture with us-top photo. Then we made a stop to pick up Sandy (second picture second from left) in North Pole and went to play some pool. After that we went up to Fairbanks and met my friend Julie and danced. It was a great way to celebrate the big 3-0!!
Some background info on the girls: Kelcey and I work together at AE and have become great friends since we see each other for daily walks and talks after work. We walk in the hallways at the school I teach at. Sandy and Julie worked with me while I was at North Pole Elementary. I taught with Sandy my first year there and we've been friends ever since. Mostly everyone knows Nichol, we're high school buddies and she got stationed up here a year ago. Bernie has been like a second mom to me. Her husband Rob had to switch positions. They have been so wonderful and have always been around to help us when we need it. Such great friends to have while we're up here. I'm so lucky to have them!
