ᐊᓯᖓᑦᑕᐅᖅ - asingattauq - and another thing


A little update on us: 

After three weeks of being home sick with mono, Josh is feeling much better. Thanks for praying for him. Along with that good news comes more good news! He is starting his flight training this week. Yay! He'll be going to Yellowknife on Friday to do the training on the Dornier. He says it's going to be a lot of hard work, but is really looking forward to getting in the air! 

As for me, I'll stay in Iqaluit while he's away. The staffing situation at the hospital is horrendous. (Read: We have NO staff)......and so there is no way I can get time off. That being said, if you're a registered nurse and want lots of work, then come to Nunavut! Interestingly enough, the two weeks while he is gone happen to be my two busiest weeks of work so far this summer. That will help the time apart pass by quickly. 

Since Josh is taking the computer to Yellowknife, I won't be blogging until he's back. But I had a bunch of pictures to share, so here they are......a brief collection of what our world looks like up here, right now. 

Sandy sea shore


Dead seal...in the spring, the hunters return uneaten prey back to the land for wild animals to feed on.

Ravens eating the remains of a kill....not sure what was killed though.

Fishing boat waiting to be back in the ocean

The ice waves continue to melt

Josh is feeling better!

Driving on the Road to Nowhere

Cool clouds in the distance

Love the bright colors of spring plants

Grumpy sled dog who wishes it was winter. (Note the baby seal on the right side of the pic)

Fishermen are getting their boats ready
