Another Good Idea

Do you remember my friend Marijke?  (aka the haver of super good ideas)
Well yesterday she suggested that we grab dinner after work and take a drive.  Smart girl.  Pretty day.  Lots of fun.
We drove (actually…she drove, I co-piloted) to Girdwood.  It was beautiful.  Warm (by Alaskan standards)… Beautiful.  Sunny. 
It was breathtaking.  And the company…the company [...]

Vacay 2009 – Photographic Evidence

All in all…I would say this vacation was a success.  Was it as sunny as we might have hoped?  Not so much.  Did it rain?  A few times.  Was a good time had by all?  I think so. 
I took A LOT of pictures but I’ll only post a few of my favorites.  Okay?

This picture is [...]

Baked Alaska

I’m baaaaaaack. 
And so tired.
Update coming soon.

A Super Good Idea

One day (a few months ago), my friend Marijke brought up the idea of a winter vacation.  After some research it was decided that she is pretty much the smartest person ever and that we must make the appropriate plans post haste.
So we did.
And tomorrow we leave (frozen) Alaska for the sunny state of California…and [...]

Doctor Doctor

I stopped by a walk-in clinic this morning to see a doctor and secure a prescription for some antibiotic. 
Am I sick?  Not yet.  But I feel it coming.  And I want it to stay away from my vacation.  It was more of a preventative measure than anything.  You see…I get sick pretty regularly when I [...]

In case you were wondering…

I’ll be traveling in a few weeks and bought a new carry-on suit case today.  I was checking the Alaska Air website to educate myself on their carry-on size restrictions to make sure the newly acquired wheeled duffel bag would be acceptable.  (It is by the way.)
They also list several items that can be carried [...]

Project 52 Week 3…Several Days Late

I meant to post this on Friday…and then again this weekend…and I’m finally remembering to do it.
I was a picture taking slacker during the third week of the New Year so I decided to post a “blast from the past” photo.  I may do more of these as the year progresses!
These pictures were taken (on [...]

360 Days Left

I’ve been working on a list of “30 Things To Do Before I’m 30″.  It was the suggesting of a dear Dallas friend.  (and this is in addition to the YOS)
I’ve listed some things that I’ve never done and some things that I want to do again.  Also…I didn’t make it to 30.  I quit [...]

Give Hope

A few months ago I started thinking about India.  I’ve been there…and I wanted to go back.  It took me a while to decide if this is also something that God wants.  I prayed about it.  I thought about it. 
And I kept arriving back to something said while I was planning for my last missions [...]

Election Memories

Those that have known me for a long time know that I luv luv luv to watch election coverage.  LOVE IT.  (Hi…my name is Davita and I’m a nerd.)
I’ve only been able to vote in three presidential elections so far.  I early voted in this one…(great way to miss the lines)…and I’ll be watching coverage [...]
