Alaska

Be happy Sparky, I'm going to talk about Alaska =)

For maybe the only person in the world who doesn't know that I went to Alaska for Philip's wedding, here we go!

[Note: for those of you unfamiliar with my nickname terminology, I sometimes address people in my life as "Sparky"; While in college, Philip in return started calling me Sparky and we've been calling each other Sparky ever since. Others have taken up this mantle and call me Sparky as well and I will respond to them in kind when addressed as "Sparky." For the purposes of this post, however, "Sparky" shall be in reference to a certain Philip Walters. This is my nickname for him -- if you want to call him something other than Philip, come up with your own nickname. As his lovely wife, Jamie is the only person who is exempt from this Sparky rule should she be inclined to also call him Sparky =)]

Anyway....

Sparky told me that he was going to propose -- I told him I would do whatever I could to be at his wedding. He told me, don't worry, I won't be getting married till a year from this summer, giving me plenty of time to save for the trip. To no surprise to me, he later told me he was engaged. What was surprising was that he was going to get married a the end of this summer. I'm not going to lie, I had a moment of panic. But hey, that's what stimulus checks are for.... I have to thank the U.S. Government for the trip of a lifetime. Without their generous $600 support, I would not have been able to finance my trip to Alaska and see Philip marry the love of his life.

And with that, I am tired. Tune in next time for actual details about my Alaska trip, including what actually happened as opposed to the details involved pre-trip.....
