Alaskan Adventures of a Jersey Girl: December 2008
http://maurainalaska.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 23, 2008. Merry Christmas, Baby (Jesus). The title of this post was inspired by the Bruce Springsteen playing on my radio right now (as so much in my life is), but what's to follow was inspired by my spiritual musings this Advent season. So watch out, it's about to get reflective. You can skip this post if you're looking for something about my proximity to the North Pole this Christmas. Sorry. What has distracted me from this? Sending light and warm wi. Friday, December 19, 2008. It is ...

Alaskan Adventures of a Jersey Girl: June 2009
http://maurainalaska.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 8, 2009. A Year in the Life. This post is more for my own personal record-keeping than for anyone else's entertainment or education. Sorry, and please indulge me on this one.). So, as some of you may know, I recently celebrated a birthday. I am now a seasoned 23 year old. I had a lovely Alaskan birthday and definitely felt the love - from home, from my co-workers, my community, and my Bethel friends. It was a really nice day filled with friends and good food, and laughs. Camped on the tundra.

Alaskan Adventures of a Jersey Girl: Check That One Off the List
http://maurainalaska.blogspot.com/2009/05/check-that-one-off-list.html
Thursday, May 7, 2009. Check That One Off the List. This week, I checked something off my "Things to Do Before I Die" list. I learned how to drive a stick shift. Granted, this is not very exciting to most people. Or even considered an accomplishment. But it was on my list. And this is my blog, so there you have it. Thankfully, Bethel is very flat. According to Marty Toomb, I can't really drive stick until I can park on a steep hill and then start again. But, oh darn, I just can't try that out her...Bethe...

Alaskan Adventures of a Jersey Girl: Waqaa, Cama'i!
http://maurainalaska.blogspot.com/2009/04/waqaa-camai.html
Wednesday, April 8, 2009. Waqaa is the Yup'ik word meaning "hello," and Cama'i is the Yup'ik word meaning "welcome." However, Cama'i is bigger than that. It's also the three day native dance festival held in Bethel every year. Dance groups, native craft vendors, and people from all over the state come to share in a weekend of native dance and culture. Lastly, I bought my first qaspeq at Cama'i! Of course, some pictures! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Alaskan Adventures of a Jersey Girl. I thought th...

Monday, March 2, 2009. Kuskokwim 300 - A YK Delta Holiday Weekend. I'm back in action! After a long hiatus, a whirlwind trip home, and many people yelling at me for not blogging enough, I'm back. I need to catch you all up on some cool things I did in the meantime, so we're going to travel back in time a little bit. First, to Kalskag, January 17, 2009. Not bad.) It was awesome. View of Bethel from the plane. Pretty legit, huh? I'll continue to travel back in time for my next few blog posts until we're ca...

Alaskan Adventures of a Jersey Girl: August 2008
http://maurainalaska.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 25, 2008. If MTV Came to Bethel. Temperature in Bethel today: 68*F. Typically, when I tell people that I live with six people I just met a few weeks ago, they say "Haha, it's like 'Real World: Bethel! I need to do, the tricky part is figuring out. Also, in other news, to celebrate my roommate Fran's birthday last Tuesday, the 7 roommates jumped into the Kuskokwim River. It was "real" cold, and now we are "real" Alaskans.). Tuesday, August 19, 2008. Well, I made it! 7 We buy what we can who...

Friday, March 20, 2009. Here Comes the Sun. Just an update for all of you who think I'm still living in darkness: Daylight Savings Time has done wonderful things for Bethel. We're gaining minutes of sunlight every day, and are at approximately 12 hours of light a day. It's awesome- only March and it's already light until 9p. I can't wait for June when it's light until midnight again. Thursday, March 5, 2009. Jya Know the Capital of Alaska? And, some pictures of Juneau. Monday, March 2, 2009. After a long...

Northern Exposure: The New Class: January 2009

Northern Exposure: The New Class. Thursday, January 29, 2009. Field Trip to Marshall 第六部分. What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and what has not entered the human heart, what God has prepared for those who love him.Among human beings, who knows what pertains to a person except the spirit of the person that is within? Similarly, no one knows what pertains to God except the Spirit of God. 1 Cor 2: 9,11. Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! Angelina told me afterwards how happy she was to hear me sing with them.

Northern Exposure: The New Class. Monday, February 2, 2009. Field Trip to Marshall Rozdzielają Siedem. If today you hear God's voice, harden not your hearts. - Ps 95. Although I was scheduled to leave Monday morning, my plane was cancelled leaving me in Marshall for an extra day. When Grandfather Alvin had heard that the flights were cancelled, he surprised me by calling me to ask if I wanted to come sit with him. Of course I graciously and joyfully accepted his invitation and went right over. He had met...
