Yay! Either I am dreaming or we have made it through our first winter in Alaska. I have never been so happy to see springtime in my whole life! By all accounts, it was a record breaking winter. Now the mountains are beginning to reemerge and the ice is melting and what the locals call "Breakup" is well underway. The days are getting longer and warmer and spring has definitely arrived.
We moved into our own place the beginning of March. It is a older place that needs A LOT of work and is a far cry from the home we sold when leaving Oregon. But never have four walls and a roof meant so much to me in my entire life. I am so beyond thankful for this home it is had to express in words. I definitely wouldn't have made a good Israelite. After one year of a nomadic type life, I was beyond done three months before it was. So we are settled, or so it seems, here in Alaska. Let's hope the next winter holds off a few weeks :)
