Most of my family got to come up in June for a visit. Nate, Heather and Chris were the only one's that couldn't come. Originally Terah and Colton weren't going to get to come...but they ended up surprising me and showing up! We went down to Homer, AK and stayed in a house we rented there. And we went on a halibut charter fishing trip while there!

Matt did too! :)

We had a great visit. I am so thankful that my family took the time to come up here to see Matt and I. We love it here! ...But it makes it so much more special when we get to share it with family!!

Great pictures! Looks like you all had a good time.
So fun! I love that everyone caught a fish & that your dad's was so small. Hope he is doing much better. You are such a good photographer!
Just added your blog to my blogroll:) Thanks for reading my story...it is strange that so many people don't know what happened...I guess because it is fresh on my mind daily. Makes me think of your family...and the great sadness that you guys have had to go through. I can't imagine...it looks like the Lord has shown His face on you guys though. What a fun famliy trip to visit you guys! Hope you are enjoying the ER...you made me kind of miss those nice slow days! I wasn't a huge fan of the busy, trauma filled ones:)
Oh wow sarah the blog is awesome. Thanks for sharing and spending time to do this. I miss you so much, thanks for being a friend. (By the way so does that mean you'll share moose with your fish sharing friends?)
So glad your family got to come up! What a great adventure all around, for everyone!
