Got some independence back today! After a successful day and a half of walking with crutches I decided to “upgrade.” So thankful for this diamond willow walking stick that my bro Frank Hobson made for me last year :). I also started driving again today. A big shout out to my friend Dennis Charley who has taken good care of my car and for all the rides he gave me these past 3 weeks. There’s certainly more weeks of healing ahead, but this progress came at a perfect time. Please continue to keep me in prayer as I heal. This past week I have been battling depression. #GoodFriends #Progress #Week4 #APinAK #Thankful https://www.instagram.com/p/BwNKLyZHUwUPaH6T46JX_DrbOKQsO-lC65dR7Y0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nuaajfx48qc5

Come on out and join us for a sledding party! We have plenty of hot dogs and water for everyone. Focus is 6-12 grade but younger siblings are welcome. We’ll be here until we get cold 🥶 #Sledding #Campfire #Alaska #APinAK (at Tazlina, Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/BukKnvKHHAbFjMxUg1Z0rHBkR5vMSY0T6mNElE0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10dl0riobgdzr

It may be a long day but at least I have my Alaskan mom by my side. I love this woman dearly ❤️ She adopted me into her family and calls me son. I was so blessed today as she even called me “my son” multiple times. She is truly a saving grace to me. I don’t know how I would have made it out here as a single guy these last three years without genuine family to rely on. A special shout out to my brothers Frank and Farren as well as my 3 nephews: Xavier, Kameko, and Ryland. I love you all dearly. May God bless you all for all you have done for me. #Family #Alaska #MyAlaskanFamily #APinAK #Blessed (at Gulkana, Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuiPqcbnuUk_sHM1RVYrSqIs-_PVPPRri1XLuw0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4rx1tfbzov9y

When you first wake up to -10 and wonder... “Is that snow inside my car...?” Then you have the moment, when you realize you left a ginger beer (non-alcoholic) in your car last night... 😱 Cleaning this up is going to be interesting 😂😂😂 at least it’s all frozen (second picture). #Alaska #Winter #APinAK #Explosion #FrozenSoda (at Glennallen, Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuPBPRVHB3yTste0X07GBJgsIt1AwKe6VMxlSg0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gdx6266uw0c0

Don’t lie to me phone 😂. Welp, guess winter decided to come back. Be safe and stay warm y’all! My car had trouble starting this morning since it dropped so suddenly. I even had it plugged in overnight. #Alaska #Winter #APinAK (at Glennallen, Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtY9vG4nkxpg3Mm8Egp-2JO97P0e475N-lA21M0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kly838x0n20z
