Quick Catching Up


Yesterday my cousin Janice was in town with a friend of hers for the day we had a really good time.
She was born in California but has lived in Gustavis, AK for the last 2-3 years going to high school. She must be some kind of a super genius cause she's finishing a year and a half early and has all these school courting her favor.

I was really great to see her even for just a bit. She's sixteen now and the last time I saw her was the summer after I finished high school... SIX YEARS AGO?! ok well its not 30 yet so i'm not too worried. Any way she's like this whole beautiful woman now and she was just a kid last I could remember.

We had some pretty funny conversations just remembering old times. I guess I ripped the head off of one of her teady bears tugging on it too hard, my dad got all mad at me. I don't have any recollection and think it would be VERY out of character for 18 year old Aaron to do such a thing *wink* Also she said I looked different and then later elaborated that different meant "you were really fat last time I saw you" which if I was a woman I would have been all ten kinds of offended but I know a compliment when I hear one.

She'd been out in galena taking an ETT class for three weeks or so and was just passing through town headed back to southeast. At any rate when she got off the plane all she wanted to do was get some taco bell and go hit up the mall. I kinda shrugged and said ok. Yeah she wasn't real impressed with the Bently either. But she did buy some beads at Michael's I guess she make some good money beading earing and selling them. She talked about using porcupine quills in them, very classy I think. Seeing as how their wasn't much to do in this town we hit the road and drove out to the dredge, which she very politely thought was cool but wasn't as enthralled as other parties I've taken.

There is no way that girl is 16, you just so happen to look younger than her... :D No offense meant, I'm sure you'll appreciate it someday. =D I was going to say that the Drege is a pretty sorry place to take her, but then again you're totaly right that there really isn't any thing to do here.

I love the dredge, its pretty much awesome.
But after being in Galena for 3 weeks, I wouldn't blame her for wanting to see a better mall! :-)
She sounds pretty smart, getting out of school so soon.
Did you guys climb the *200* foot ladders at the dredge?? lol... Micah & Lisa climbed both of them and Dad and I did the one that was straight up.
It was kind of intense, I much prefer to be tied off. I think its the OSHA 'roofer' in me coming out. =o)
Speaking of work...are you off this week or something?
