My time in Smith is slowly coming to an end! I have a few days left at work and then I'm still trying to figure out what to do! There's a couple positions I'm interested in but haven't applied for either yet. Alex wants to leave to so we are half waiting to see what comes his way since it'll be easier for me to find a job where he is compared to him finding a job where I am. We would both love to stay in the north but I think we might have to go a bit further south before returning here. Time will tell!

I'm having surgery next Tuesday to remove the mass growing on my tonsil. Fingers crossed that it's nothing bad :). It's being done in Yellowknife and I'll be staying a night before returning home.

The northern lights have been amazing lately because of all the solar storm activity. Definitely nothing I'll ever forget but I can't imagine never seeing them again either. We haven't been up to too much lately. Just the usual schedule. We puppy sat for our friends Jeff and Vina:

Alex, Katie and Hanna the puppy. She was running around and chomping on Alex's snowshoes like they were sticks. We walked across the Slave River which is huge! Alex decided to walk around a massive island with Hanna on the way back and some locals stopped Katie and I on snowmobiles and basically gave us ship for Alex walking around it. There is a set of rapids that he was walking over and the ice wasn't the greatest apparently. You live and you learn.

Hanna became a little tired and Alex had to carry her for awhile. She's peaking over his shoulder staring at us!

Alex and I went snowshoeing in a different spot the next day. Here is Hanna soaking up the rays!

This past weekend we saw a dead buffalo. The pictures are gory! Don't say I didn't warn ya. She was pregnant and the fetus was there as well:

I think thats about it that is new with me! Wish me luck next week, I'll keep you posted!
