The Great Alaskan Adventure

North, to Alaska!    These were the song lyrics going through my mind at     4 o'clock    in the morning    as my husband Tyler and I left our home in Oklahoma to move to Anchorage, Alaska.  I know, right?  Alaska.  Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that I would be living in here.  But here I am. 

I love this place!

Life is a blast here in Alaska.  We live in a town small enough to have a town square that is actually used for town square-ish activities-sledding, festivals, and other manners of legal frivolity. Tyler is in the Air Force, and I am embarking on my fourth year as an elementary school teacher.  Before you ask the question that I know is coming, let me answer it.  No, we don't have any kids.  Instead, we have a dog named Bailee who is, for all intents and purposes, our kid.  She is the most adorable dog ever and I treat her like she is a person, which probably drives most people crazy.  I also have plenty of friends who are having kids all the time, so I get the fun of holding and playng with kids without the messy details:-)
