Our House

So we bought a house for Christmas of 2007,  I was getting bored and wanted a new project so we found a house 1 block away from Utah State University.  It was constructed in 1945 and has the best view in Logan.  

 We started with the upstairs and redid the wood floors, what we didn't know is how much work it takes to get the floors just right.The worst was we ripped up some carpet just to find out that somewhere in the past someone decided to glue formica floor over the hardwood.  We than had to chisel the formica off, 2 full days later and a lot of patience lost we were done.

 We also painted the upstairs and finished the plasters walls, redoing all the base and trim.  If you want to jump to this website I have loaded the rest of the construction photos.

To catch you up.

After High School I served a LDS mission

in Paraguay.  Upon returning I went to Utah State University and there it took me only 6 years to decide what I wanted to be when I grew up.  I Majored in Liberal Arts and Science and Minored in Sociology and Management.  During that time I met my wonderful and beautiful wife Kelsey C. Benson, from Blackfoot, ID. (but yet a half hour into the middle of no-where.  She is my complete opposite which is good because without her I would never have learned how to farm wheat and potatoes.   We were married almost 2 years ago (April 14th, 2006) and are excited to announce that we are still NOT pregnant.  I robbed the cradle, she is 6 years my younger.  Don't worry mom if your reading this, we do plan on having kids, we just want to enjoy our time.   

Currently we work in Skagway, Alaska.  Been doing it for the past 5 years, on and off during school.  We work the summers only, in tourism (cruise ship season),  I manage Alaska Excursions which has 3 operations.  The first and biggest:  Musher's Camp and Sled-Dog Adventures, second: Chilkoot Horseback Adventures, and last: 60 Degrees North Golf .  My wife works for Temsco Helicopter Tours, which defiantly has its perks.  It is nice because we work 6 months out of the year and then travel during the off season.  The people we meet and the experiences we have in Alaska are the biggest rewards.  This off season we plan to backpack South America for 2 1/2 months.  Go visit my old stomping ground Paraguay, see the worlds largest waterfalls in Iguazu Falls , and conquer the "Road of Death" in Bolivia.  Stay tuned to the blog and I will keep you filled with updated on that Adventure.

We are not complete transits, we did just buy a home in December.  It is in Logan, UT.  and it sits up on the bench at the mouth of beautiful Logan Canyon.  It was a old rambler that needed some TLC so that is what we did.  We remodeled 80% of the house and now it's a hot little item.  We turned it into a Rental, but we do plan to live in one day.  We hope to purchase a couple more rentals before we are done with this Alaskan Adventure we call life.
