Here Comes The Sun...

The Luiken Lowdown

Let me take some time to tell you what Tony and I have been up to, and what's going on up here in Anchorage!

1) The Sun is out and shining! Everything is pretty much melted and "spring" is finally here! It has been warming up and Tony and I can't wait for the summer months.

This week, the weather is sunny and nice all week long- take a look at our Anchorage forecast:
A much needed break after the coldest, snowiest winter ever in Anchorage.

2) Tony bought me a car this week! A yellow Xterra. I love it! We are excited to use its 4 wheel capabilities to find some nice places to go camping this summer. And I feel safe driving it in the ice and snow which is super important to me. I was never sure if I would ever get used to the driving conditions here but I'm excited to drive this car! :)


3) Tony and I decided to do a marathon in August! My mom is coming up to run it with us and we are currently on our 3rd week of training. We will be running the Moose's Tooth Marathon.
Check out our plan for running this summer:


I can't wait to wear out these shoes and get them pounding some pavement!


4) Tony and I seriously cannot wait for this summer! We are so excited we even set up our tent in the tiny living room of our apartment!


One night, we took the hammock out to Kincaid Park. It was the perfect time to have a quiet time, rest, and relax in the peace that is the smell of spring and the beginning of summer.


This weekend, we are going to go camping in Soldotna, Alaska.
