Jerry's Promotion

Today Jerry got promoted from 1st Leiutenant to Captain. :) I was lucky enough to be able to "pin" or velcro on his rank. After he was official, a lot of the soldiers tied up his arms and legs with duct tape and threw cold water all over him. He was soaked, but it was all in good fun. A big and exciting day! :)

Halibut Fishing

My boss, Tony, and his family were kind enough to invite Jerry and I to go halibut fishing in Ninilchik, AK over Memorial Day weekend. We left Friday evening and got back Monday evening. We really "roughed it" in Tony's high-tech RV. It was a long drive, but was worth it. In Alaska, each person is allowed to keep two halibut a day, and we met our limit. Three couples ended up with 21 fillets each. Quite a success! Can't wait to go fishing again. :) Look at our webshots page for more pics.

All the gang with our halibut!

Maverick

Yes, I know, it's been a while since I've written anything! I just wanted to post some pics of our new Jack Russell puppy. He should be arriving in Fairbanks some time in June. We can't wait!
