I MISS PORTLAND! Okay, so I miss going to Blazers games and sick concerts all of the time. Alaska is definitely lacking in those areas. But hell yeah, the Blazers are KILLING it right now. I really hope they win against the Lakers tonight. Eep.
In other news, treatment is still going really well. Radiation makes me sick sometimes, but whatever. Hopefully, this will all be over in a few weeks.
My boyfriend, Axel, is the most amazing person ever! My parents LOVE him, and his love me. I don't get to see him very often right now because he leaves for 2-3 weeks at a time for work, but when we're together, we're always doing fun shit: snowmobiling, four-wheeling, shooting his 25 or so guns (and some of mine), mini golfing (I love that shit!), building bird boxes with my dad, camping, mini road trips, cooking, and teaching each other how to play instruments. My dad, he, and I already have a few hunting and fishing trips planned this spring and summer. He has a 3000sqft house on ten acres of forest by a lake that he bought in December, and I'm moving in there in about a month.
Oh yeah, and we're each adopting a puppy; he's getting a black German shepherd, and I'm obviously getting a blue pit bull.
The only part that sucks is that he's a powderman (in other words, he gets paid approximately $80 to fly out to pretty much anywhere in Alaska for a few days to a couple of months and blow shit up). It can REALLY suck not being able to see him for extensive periods, but oh well. Some of the villages he goes out to don't have internet or phones, either. He gets back from Ouzinkie in a week and a half and then heads up to Barrow a couple of days later. He's bringing me with him for a week this time, though!
Okay, that's enough gushing about him. Work rocks; my relationship with my parents is better than it has been for the past decade; and my sister and I just bought my parents a sick ass honeymoon to Belize for two weeks for their 25th anniversary. Life is looking up right now.
