In just a few short days.....

I will look like this.


And I won't care the least about wearing make-up.


And my hair will be dreaded by next Tuesday.


And I will stink like fish guts and salmon eggs, and love it. Because in Soldotna, everyone stinks like fish.


And I may eat a couple of jumbo size Butterfingers while fishing on the Kenai. And give Westyn a few.


And I will be forced to drink regular coffee for 7 straight mornings with a few Starbucks runs inbetween.


And I may have a few apple fritters or maple bars from the local donut shop that is To. Die. For.


And I will watch Troy introduce his little girl to all of his childhood "Uncles" that all happen to look like Santa Claus or somebody that sleeps in the bush. But are the coolest people on the planet.


And I will sit on the river bank with a bottle of Alaskan Amber watching all the guide boats come in for the day.


And I will drink 20 bottles of wine in 7 days with my Father-in-Law, because that's just what we do.


CANNOT wait to get on that plane Friday morning so I can lose touch with my sometimes high-maintenance self and turn into a grisly fisherman.

Ash...you're hilarious. Love this post. Have so much fun teaching Westyn about Alaska and hanging out with the Uncles that look like Santa OR that slept in the bush. I was laughing at that one.

Ashley - so crazy that we have been going up to the Kenai since I was little and that my dad is at a cabin in Soldotna right now! Maybe some year we will all be up there together! He said the fishing is amazing right now - have a blast!

So glad that you can finally take Westyn and that you get to go and relax, after all of this hard work lately you deserve it! Take lots of pics, eat lots of crap (even though a few donuts and Butterfingers is bog standard for me!) and enjoy x
PS-Won't this be Westyn's first flight?
