Hello friends :) Just thought I would go ahead and give you all a little update. Life in Skagway has been amazing. Making friends and meeting people more and more everyday. I have noticed I have been having a lot more fun these days. Oh and of course the work life is ...Well it's work, and that is going great as well. I have been in Skagway since May 2nd and have been getting closer to some people and I just wanted to share with you a little bit about them :)
-Friends-
I have become pretty close with my roommate Taylor. She is pretty much my main gal. When we aren't working we are out and about together doing something fun. We like to go to the Red Onion (a bar/restaurant), Bonanza Bar and Grill, make food, drink hot co co, maybe go grocery shopping (usually that is hilarious), spend our money, be lazy, talk, explore, hang with other roomies/friends, pretty much anything. When we are in lazy mode we lay in our beds and take turns listening to tunes. If we are REALLLLLLY bored sometimes one of us will be working and the other is off and we literally will join each other on a bus ride over to the wash pad to clean the bus just so we can talk lol. Sad..But true. Now.. I don't like to gossip what so ever. BUT when I am with Tay I sometimes feel is is necessary to spill the beans haha..So we may just talk about somethings that are currently happening :P .We are like two pees in a pod ;) Haha..We can get pretty crazy together. I would say she is outgoing but is from Arizona so she doesn't take kindly to COLD weather. So I am usually begging her to ride a bike or walk somewhere. But if we have a ride she is game for anything. So like I said..We can get a little crazy. Dance nights, drinks, bon fires, etc. She is my go to girl. As well is my crazy side.Now although this girl drinks a few beers she actually has never been drunk. Which is totally awesome! But most of us would like to accomplish getting her a little tipsy and have her first time be in Skagway ;) ..We have a few months, so we will see how it goes ;). Anywho I could go on and on about this little lady but I will save it for later!
This is Tay :)
I also have another buddy that I have become close to and her name is Nicol. I would like to say she is the chillest of the chill. I guess you could say she is my mellow slash outdoorsy side. It is so relax when I am with her. We go on hikes, go jogging, camp, talk about life and of course what is goin on in Skagway, party, dance, laugh, love, and live. It is very nice to meet someone in this town that doesn't talk about every single person. I mean don't get me wrong, she does when she is with me :P but she is someone you can trust. I actually trust her and know that whatever I say will not go anywhere but her. Now although I haven't got to hang with her as much as I would like to, we still have hung out a ton. She is a dock rep. So she lives in a diff. house and has diff. hours. But when we hang out it is such a blast!
This is Nicol :)
So those are my two main chicks. Now for the other homies :) !
First off we have Jess. Jess is the man! He is one of my roomies and I def. enjoy talking to him. He cracks me up. You could say he is well put together but probably has a side of him that people haven't seen yet..Still waiting haha.. Just kidding. He is awesome and really easy to get along with! Always down to do something. He is a helicopter pilot when he isn't driving bus. Very down to earth, tell it like it is, no bs. But even if he isn't down with you, he is still the sweetest guy ever. He would never want to put anyone down. Super chill :)
This is Jess :)
Next we have Jake Brog. Jake is a total "bro", but I mean that in a nice way! He is hilarious. Always wearing a bro tank that says "Get it how you live it" .Hahaha always screaming out "CHEA CHEA" . He is awesome and always down to have good times. Also very into being healthy and his fitness. I love Jake because he is def. himself and if you were to judge a book by it's cover you would see him as a total tool! But when you talk to him one on one you come to find out he is very smart and is a very sweet guy! He actually lives in Bham (where I am from) and told Mike and I about the job in Skagway. So it feels nice to have someone you kinda can relate to.
This is Jake :)
Then there is Trent. Oh how to describe such a character.. Trent is someone you would think is VERY professional, kind of a square, and would not be into hanging out what so ever. Trent is actually our boss. So he wears these super fly outfits everyday all professional and what not BUT come to find out this guy ends up having a full arm sleeve and is a pretty kick ass dude. He throws bon fires from time to time, takes us on some rad camping trips, and is always super helpful and sweet if your in need :) . I have been able to hang out with him a bunch and he is a total nerd! He enjoys his old school punky music (but also some really sweet music as well), magic cards (yes I am for real) , some intense computer game, climbing, speaking Japanese, and lots more .A quick little story : He took a few of us on a climbing trip once and I had nevvvver climbed outside as well as it had been since I was a teenager to even climb. I was sooo scared. It took me so many times to even trust myself to make it up and he pushed my ass to make it to the top, which was awesome :) . Also repelling off a cliff.. It took me about 7 min to convince myself to drop off the cliff, but he def. made me do it and I was sooo stoked that I did :) So all in all this kid is awesome. Oh ANDDD just to put it out there... I found the full album of Justin Bieber on his itunes. Bahaha..Anywhoo Trent is rad and always down to hang out with us. So that makes him one kick ass guy.
This is Trent :)
Nel Tron.. Ok so I haven't got to get to know him very much yet but I am realizing he is pretty hilarious. Always talking about how he wants to be doing the wrong things, ALWAYS hitting on chicks, and always down to have a great time. SOOOO funny! His name is Dallin but he goes by Nel Tron. He plays the drums, acoustic guitar, and can sing! Super legit. So far the vibe I get from him is great :) Dallin is a funny funny guy, always is going cock eyed, listens to dub step, wears super tight pants, and can get suppppper crabby if he is hungry.
This is Dallin :)
Then there is William Banks the third :)... Will is one of my roommates. He is the sweetest but also the loudest guy here, and makes the best voices. He is 25, Mormon, and is ALWAYSSS doing something outdoors. Will is great :) and sometimes he will come up to my room when I am laying there being a bum and just chat about whatever. It is nice to have someone like Will around to make you laugh or just talk about your day with :)
This is Will :)
Now we can't forget Charlie! (Imagine me saying this in a British accent) For those of you that have not seen the "Charlie bit my finger" vid on youtube.com I recommend checking it out.
Anywho Charlie is the man! He is sooooo chill. Never a dull moment without his guy. I have got to hang out with him more then enough times to come to realize he is just a all around rad person. Always so nice and always so happy. He tells it like it is and usually is trying to find people that like to do the same things as him. He is a dock rep but when he isn't working you will find a beer in his hand and him looking to see what everyone else is up to :)
This is Charlie :)
Next up is Dallin S...Dallin is a super sweet guy! So far I have got to hang out with him whenever he is in town and he is just great :) . He does highway driving so he is usually gone for a week then comes back to Skagway for a few days. He is Mormon as well but is ALWAYS wanting to go do stuff with everyone, which is awesome. It is really rad to see someone who doesn't drink want to come party with all of us. Dallin is very put together, has just about every Nixon watch there is, and is always smiling :) ! He tells the greatest stories about his week away as well as gives great information about the area and what there is to do. Always giving me great ideas for things to do on my day off :) Dallin is awesome.
This is Dallin :)
Last but not least there is Tony. Now I can truly say Tony is the sweetest of the sweets. This guy is so loyal to his faith and does everything by the book. He is always looking out for people and is SO SO healthy. You usually can find him working out, doing something outdoors, eating something awesome lol, not drinking, playing acoustic guitar, headed to church, or doing anything and everything that is good for the soul :) . I look up to him and believe that he is going places in life and will go far. I wish I were able to hang out with him more but he does his own thing. Tony is an all around great guy.
This is Tony :)
Now I know I have not mentioned a ton of AMAZING people but I just wanted to share the people I have been hangin out with the most :) . So here is a shout out to all of the other great peeps here in Skagway! I've got mad love for you all! Skagway is becoming home for the summer and I am loving every minute of it!
xoxo
