who are we?

Hello from Alaska! If you have been sent this link you probably know us but if not here is a brief synopsis of who we are.
Thad my wonderful husband is a man of great integrity and is very hard working. He first loves Jesus Christ and then his family devotedly. His desire is to serve God full time in ministry but always says he really just works to support his love of preaching! Since we are not pastoring a church at this time and just work as laypeople in the Chapel of the North this has been challenging. He is the owner operator of our logging company Mountain's Edge Logging here in Tok. We sell dry fire killed wood as firewood to many communities in interior Alaska. We are vendors for Fred Meyers stores in Fairbanks where we sell bundled wood all the way to Semi loads of wood to the Copper Center community near Glennallen, AK and of course everywhere in between.
 
 
He is an avid hunter and loves the rugged Alaska lifestyle.
He each year for at least ten days of moose hunting where we collect the winter's meat and enjoy God's gift of nature. Alaska's beauty is always a welcome refresher after the busy Alaskan summers.

Since I posted a picture of our daughter I should explain the rest of the Tucker family! In the picture you saw just the in house residents that include our youngest who I will devote much more time to. But not pictured there is our Daughter Rebekah and her fun loving husband Rion (on the left above). They were married in 2013 and live near us.
 
 
We also have a wonderful son Levi and his beautiful wife Megan were married in 2014. They have blessed us with our first grandbaby, Oceana!


 

 
 Since I am on the kids I will fill you in on our Elianna! She is now 8 years old and in second grade. We like to say she is a great mix of her siblings. In photos she looks amazingly beautiful like Rebekah and is just as fun and thrill seeking as her big brother. She is homeschool just like they were and while school isn't her favorite thing to do is developing a love of reading. She loves to play outdoors and is always up for an adventure. She can be a girly girl in dresses just as easily as tough it out on the hunting trail.

 
So I guess we are down to me.
I am the proud wife and mother of the above!! I spend my time taking care of them and the usual activities of a homeschool mom/business partner/cook/housekeeper! I too love the Lord Jesus with all my heart and try and always be the best example of him to others. I am not perfect and through this  blog I am sure you will see where God is still working on me. I thought this would be the best way to keep my own account of our adventures from here on out and maybe take more time to focus on how God is working in, on and through us. The latest is our trip to Africa! I will talk about that in my next post. So if you choose to follow my blog I will keep you informed as much as possible. God's blessing to you all
