portland....here we come!

hey everybody,
this is kimberly. i just wanted to update you all on what was going on. currently andy and i's heads are spinning and we fight each other for back rubs every night to ease the stress. so far andys been the faithful one giving me back rubs when i am tense. i think they just feel so good because one of his hands can cover over half my back! haha. lets see, the weather is absolutely beautiful, sunshine until midnight. beautiful blue skies, the river is flowing just as it was 9 months ago (well, there are still chunks of ice flowing down but its pretty well open.) ive been riding my bike every other day for the last 3 weeks, weve gone on picnics, rode quads and best of all.....andy got one of dales motorcycles running. its old and beat up and kinda slow but wonderful. the other day we went on the 4 mile loop that i ride my bike on and he was on the motorcycle. we were side by side looking like dorks while i was pedaling like crazy to keep up with the motorcycle. it was very fun. so, this is just an update to let you all know when we are thinkin of leaving tanana. we have a team from church coming up on the 15th of june and we are looking forward to showing them around and letting them see our lifestyle for the past nine months and then we will probably try and come home on the 16th of june. this is one month earlier than anticipated which is exciting. we are looking forward to friends and family. i will let you guys know more when ive got more figured out. all in all, our trip has been just amazing and we wouldnt have changed it at all. the possibility of coming up here again next year is open and we are excited to come for the second semester of school (december - june). that way we would be home for friends and family at christmas time and the holidays and still get to come up and see all our friends up here. we really do get sad when thinking of leaving everyone up here. they have made such impacts on our lives and we want to keep in touch and see them again. so, thats about all i have to say. we love you all, thanks for checking the blog.
