until further notice...
Alright, unforutunatly because of the political correctness expected of a blog, Kimberly and I will refrain from any further blogs...
If you would like updates email me or kimberly at:
andrew.long.t@gmail.com
or
kimberly.long.m@gmail.com
and ill add you to a mailer.
Kimberly and I are not 1st graders saying non politically correct things to get responses (beating kids up for attention). I spend time during every blog to word things as well as possible using my relationships with the people i write about to judge if it should be written or not, and its still not good enough... when the few responses we get are to tell us we said things we shouldnt have, i would rather talk to no one than to simply do this to be told we were wrong. Because of the level of public openness ill solve the problem by converting our blog to a email update to only those that would like it.
I apologize to those that follow the blog silently, I do this for you too, not for a moment expecting a response, and id be glad to continue via email if you would like to give me your email address.
We love you all back at home and we miss you so much, we cannot wait to be home.
Kimberly and I also love Cynthia and Dale, at the end of the day they are the reason we are fighting through missing our family and our home town to stay up here in a town 160 miles from nearest parts store, and shopping mall. They take such good care of us and we really appreciate them. I think when i speak of their lack of communication i dont realize my communication is lacking too. What i dont communicate about our relationship enough is the positave and how great they are.
also for those that may have cringed over things I have said, you may be thinking now im just converting to emails so i can say names and share the dirt... by no means, I dont share alot of that stuff because of my respect for the people of Tanana and all of the interior. I have lost no respect, and i have no anger or frusteration to vent about these wonderful people... It will just insure positave communication or no communication back at kimberly and I, which being away from home for the another 6 months (when we were only planning on being up here for about that long total to begin with) is what we need.
At the end of the day there is just too much to think about to please everone, i dont have 1 week to write a 4 paragraph blog to make sure i have covered all my bases... my pictures will continue comming on my photobucket account (link is in past blogs) so if you would like to see those feel free to continue checking up.
this is titled until further notice because I still trying to figure out if this is the step we need to take. Im trying to decide if this is maturity speaking or the 8th grader behind my ear. I do know that this is for you (the reader) and id hate to eliminate it because of me. It is something that kimberly and i will continue praying about.
please keep us in your prayers.

hey you two! well i have enjoyed reading your heartfelt raw expressions of dealing with the events you have faced both easy and tough-perhaps its because i know you both intimately but i havnt read into your postings any thing intended to hurt anyones feelings-perhaps because emotion and expression isnt easy to put in the written word someone could possibly get that but i would suggest a complete reading from start to finish so something isnt taken out of context-i know your hearts and i know you wouldnt be there if it wasnt for your love for everyone up there-look to God for direction on this and you will make the right decision. hang in there, All my love, Dad
Blogging is a tricky thing. I have Greg (and sometimes Yellie) read mine over before I hit the publish button. When you write about personal things, conflicts, etc., it really is being put out there for the whole world to see. I have a tracker on my blog, and I've been shocked at who reads it--and the places around the world they are reading it from!
I would love to have you keep blogging, but if not, please put me on the email list.

yes... you know who my last email was from, and it wasnt about political correctness, it was more about respect for people i write about... I do understand and agree.
Its hard because alot of what we deal with cannot be openly put in the blog, we are in the store for cryin out loud, basically our whole day is conflict and resolution... and because understandably that cannot be written about its tough sometimes...
as of right now, ive had a day to sit on it, we will probably continue... I just need to call my parents more when i need to vent.
My last editing flaw was, i was too busy talking about how i have realized i have more growing up to do and the situation surrounding it that i didnt stop to realize i was growing due to a private conflict that didnt really have any business on the internet for all to see.
thank you all,
Andrew
put me on your list!

alright ill be doing another blog tonight, right now kimberly and I have to run to the community hall for a drawing to figure out the order of the chichaco (sp) race tomorrow... i decided i will run... i wasnt going to but these REALLY cool people called me up (they have really good dogs too) and asked me if I wanted to run... i kinda told them no and they talked me into it. I told them i wanted to take pictures of kimberly if i could get loose and they told me others could take pictures... so i am :)
ok its now the next morning, as you can tell i have not done a new blog.
We have been super busy, the hall drawing took a bit longer than i thought it was going to now im running to work.
Dear Andy and Kim, We hear you're moving back home! Yeah! How would you like to be a camp counselor at Jr. or Jr. High Camp? We need more guy counselors for Tim's camp, and they need guys & gals the week after for Jr. High Camp. Free room and board while you're there! Tim's camp is June 17-23 and Jr. High Camp is June 24-30. A bunch of Andy's family will be there for Tim's camp. I'm not sure if any are doing Jr. High Camp too. Looking forward to welcoming you back. Love, Aunt Patti
