Breakin' Records

We, the Ford family, are breakin all sorts of records these days. The one we would like to highlight at this time is 2 posts in 24 hours. Now we know it's not much, but we're pretty happy about it. This post is actually dedicated to a few different people. First and foremost, I (Jon) would like to dedicate this post to the Andersons who made this all possible (you know who you are). Also, if anyone sees this who knows someone who has a similar addiction, my heart goes out to you. Secondly, Ashley would like to dedicate this to Tofu lovers everywhere.

Juneau Where We Are Going?

As many of you already know, we recently got offered an internship in Juneau, Alaska. After giving it some thought, we accepted the opportunity. We figure that this is the only time we'll be able to just drop everything and head off on an adventure, given the fact that I'll be a college grad come December, so in 18 days we'll be boarding a plane for Alaska. For those of you who are curious about what we'll be doing, please continue reading. For those of you who aren't, please scroll down, click on the post a comment link, and dazzle us with your wit.

The internship is with a company called Del Sol. Their products all change colors when exposed to the sun. As such, their stores are located in areas that are typically visited by tourists. Juneau happens to be a popular destination in the Alaskan cruise industry. Our main responsibility will just be working in the store in Juneau. We're pretty excited about this, and we imagine that we will meet our fair share of crazies, and be able to tell lots of interesting stories. In the event that we can't, we'll simply make things up and see how gullible our family and friends are. Aside from the retailing, the managers do a lot of marketing with the cruise ships, and I hope to be able to help out in this area.

That's about all we know about the internship at this point, so we hope you'll be excited for us and wish us luck.
