We are in the middle of a tropical storm. We have had typhoon after typhoon, but this one is the worst. Winds up to 75 mph and Seward got 9 inches of rain yesterday. We don't know exactly how much we got, but it filled the pond overnight, so it was quite a bit. Seward is all flooded out, but we aren't. That's why we live on this side of the mountain!!!
Alicia got a new calling in church on Sunday. She has 6 callings now, but I think she will have to give up some of them because the new job is first counselor in Young Women's. It is a very time and energy consuming calling. The girls she will be the leader of are 14 and 15 years old - the same girls she had 2 years ago, when they were 12 and 13. The girls are really excited to have her back. The other 2 women are my age so she is the only young blood in the presidency.
Brian has signed up for CDL school (truck driving school). He always swore he would not do that, but all the companies on the North Slope are requiring their crews to have CDL's, so he had to change his mind. He will be up in Palmer for all next week. We hope it will help our situation.
Nothing new in Charlotte's life - she started a new med to help her have more energy and it is working - first 2 days, I was up for 22 hours out of every 24. I finally slept a few last night. It is helping a lot with the depression and malaise.
The wind was really blowing the other night and Alicia went out to see if the cat wanted to come in for bed and all she could see was his little paws hanging on to the rail of the deck - he had been sitting on the deck rail and the wind blew him off and he was barely hanging on. Needless to say, between the wind and the rain, he is quite disgruntled and having a hard time with life. We are getting used to loud, odd crashes in the middle of the night - when he gets bored or tries some new exciting move to get from point A to point B.
Hope you are staying dry and not getting blown off your deck - Love, Charlotte

So sorry you guys are dealing with yucky weather. I will quit complaining about the drizzly weather we've been having - 9 inches!!!?!?! Wow!
Alicia - how fun for you to be in the YW presidency. I'm the 2nd counselor (but have been the 1st counselor) and it's great. I loved the Miamaid age. It's tough....but you can make such a difference simply by loving them. GOOD LUCK!
Love, Joanna
Yeah....I saw some pics on the news last night of that 9" of rain. Yuck! Good luck staying as dry and warm as possible. I can't believe that your pets were being blown around. That's intense.
Congratulations on your new calling, Alicia. I am sure that the girls will love you and you will be a great influence for good in their lives.
And good luck to Brian on the new training and Char with the medication changes. Hopefully you'll be feeling better in no time. But 22 hours up? That's a little too much, eh? :)
Love, Earlene
