Mc WHAT???

Most people are content living inside the box, playing by all the rules, and overall fulfilling the role of there lives however we have discovered that we are definitely not most people we live life on the edge not standing on the edge of course that would be stupid rather we hang by our fingertips to the point where we might slip however we would rather take the chance of falling then not knowing the feeling of hanging there at all….. I’ve added a few words to my vocabulary this week such as village, pedal bike, water hauler, wood stoker, basket weaver and land locked. I’ve also taken a few words out of my vocabulary such as vehicle, take out, white folk, technology, and civilization. By the way did I mention that my husband interviewed for a job in McGrath….. you might be thinking McGrath…. McGrath…… where have I heard of that well you haven’t and don’t bother googling it because you will get nothing….nodda…. zilch! I spent countless nights praying for the phone to ring…. And then it did….. and I’ve now learned the life lesson …. If your going to take the time to pray for the phone to ring you should also take the time to pray for the specific person you would like to call. Haha no we really are SO SO excited just for the opportunity to interview and the possibility of getting a job. Living in a village would be so adventurous not to mention extremely intense oh and did I mention that one of Aron’s responsibilities would be to make the Native’s aware of wildlife laws and regulations and hold them accountable if they break any of the laws and regulations….. for those of you who aren’t familiar with Natives this isn’t a trophy hunt this is there livelihood hhhhmmmmmm….. the villagers our gonna love us…. Looks like I got a real John Smith on my hands but I’ll tell you what that damn Pocahontas better watch out……….

  1. McGrath, Alaska, is adjacent to the Kuskokwim River directly south of its confluence with the Takotna River.

    McGrath, population about 410, functions as a transportation, communications and supply center in Interior Alaska.

    A little less than half of the residents are Athabaskans, Eskimos or Aleuts. McGrath offers a variety of employment opportunities, but subsistence remains an important part of the local culture.

    " Ya so Tomas left today and I had nothing better than to check out what this Mcgrath place you and your hubby are fleeting off to! 401 people, well could be 403!!! You;d actually live in the Village? What would you do while aron is busting them for shooting certain animals? Dig dung holes to patch up your roof? Do eskimos have there own language? That'll suck if you have to leave your quaint little cabin that's become your home. And what about hatch, either they'll eat him or he'll start training for the Iditarod! Labs can do that, I have seen Space puppies!!! lol Going to the family christmas party this saturday, can't believe 2009 is almost over!! Love ya kenz
