name of blog,...

yes, as you see, then name of my blog has changed from Alaskan Adventure's to Heather's Happenings! I changed it for a few reasons, the main one being that my adventures don't just happen in my home of Alaska, but elsewhere. Enjoy the new name!

Buy Seafood....

Seafood from the Gulf Coast that is. (Also, Alaska seafood, too.) I served a mission for my church in the Louisiana Baton Rouge mission. I served or was "stationed" in a few of the cities in Louisiana as well as a county in Mississippi. Baton Rouge, Covington, and Houma, all in Louisiana, were my homes for roughly 6 weeks to 6 months each. How I LOVE the people of the south. While in Houma, I was able to meet a family who are eight generation oyster men. The Voisin's are an AMAZING family and were there, through the toughest time in my mission that sent me home early. The Voisin's were always there and helpful to me and to my family. We are still in touch, and every now and then I get to see them. With Hurricane Katrina, and then a few years later, the oil spill that hit the gulf, my heart went out to the family as well as others in the state who's livelihood depend on the fishing industry. In the past few weeks, there were a group of bloggers that were given the opportunity to visit Louisiana and learn about the seafood industry, and how the industry is surviving after the oil spill. Below is a link to a blog that I read, and found the article informational and well written. A bonus is a picture of Mike Voisin, the fearless leader of Motivatit Seafood, and my friend. Enjoy the article and BUY LOUISIANA Seafood!!!! (P.S. some of The. BEST. shrimp. I have EVER. HAD!!!

Girls Night

Every woman needs to have a group of gal pals and a girls night no matter if you are married, single, have kids, no kids, are a mother to young kids or old kids, are a grandmother, you name it, we all deserve a girls night.

I have a GREAT group of women that I get to hang out with. We have SO much fun when we are all together, or even when there is just a few of us. We are each others sounding boards, and are there for each other when needed. These ladies are part of the "crew" that I hang with often.

I just happened to be the "cruise director" of this particular girls night. All of us had been mentioning to each other that it was time, so we did it. We went to dinner, where they have a challenge called "The Oinker."(No, none of us tried it, but many of their husbands tried it when they had a "Man Club" night.) Dinner started off great, we laughed and had a blast and caught up with the happenings of everything. Good thing the restaurant stuck us in the corner, so we wouldn't bother the other diners. After dinner, we went over to Angela's house and played THE BEST GAME!!! "Just Dance 2!" Oh. My. Goodness. It was s much fun. We changed into our comfy clothes and danced for hours. I laugh still just thinking about that night. We learned that night that Angela was on drill team in high school. Try and pick her out... Enjoy the pictures below of our night. Notice the window open? I think this was in February...
