Just a quick update...

We got to Alaska safe and sound on Thursday. My suspicions about not being able to blog was correct after Yellowstone we were in some pretty obscure places I am working on my blog on the rest of the trip and hopefully within the next couple of days I will be able to post it along with pics so keep checking in hope everyone is well!

Here we are on the road...

We left Junction yesterday and traveled to Wyoming just outside of the Grand Teton National park. We didnt do much but drive we did get to see the Flamming Gorge in Utah which is absoultly beautiful. The first half of Wyoming wasnt too impressive(side note , can anyone tell me what those random fences are all over the Wyoming countryside?)Anyway, we stopped in this little town and had dinner ,I mean this was the picture of small town America. we went into this local mexican resturant and every head turned when we walked in they could tell we werent from around there. This morning we woke up bright and early and headed into the Grand Teton and Yellowstone now this is an absolutly amzing part of Wyoming these parks were so amazing! You could seriously spend weeks in these places and never get bored. The kids had a blast they werent so excitied at first at the idea of being on a super volcano(we watch way too much national geographic) but once they saw Old Faithful and the rest of the geysers the were pumped! We finally made into Helena about 10pm they do not believe in signs of any kind in the state of Montana! Well I am really tired and I have a REAL bed calling my name! Hopefully I will be able to post more tommorrow!
Sorry I know I got a little carried away but I had to share!

countdown is over

So we are off today. It has been a long few weeks the movers came and loaded all of our stuff the week we got back from our house hunting trip so we have been living in an empty house for awhile now. Its sad when you cant wait to get to a hotel so you can sleep! We were suppose to leave last week but his company delayed once again. We had a lot of emotional moments and a couple of mile stones like me turning 30!!!!!!AGGG!But then again I heard 30 was the new 20 so I can celebrate that one in about 10 more years:)! And I got really sick so it definitely hasn't been boring while we have been waiting. But we are finally at that time. So for my last blog in Colorado I decided I am going to list the 5 things I am going to miss most about this place since I am on a limited time frame it can only be 5 but there are lots of things I am going to miss.

1)The Colorado skies

2)My home 3)Being right next door to Utah

4)Fall

5)And most importantly my bro and friends we love you guys...


It really has been a blessing living here....

Touch Down

So I got really behind on my blogging I had planned on writting a little every day but the internet in the hotel really sucked! I will just give a quick recap. We landed in Alaska Saturday August 24th it was a loooong day of travel. Everything went pretty smooth I was actually at one point thinking to myself "now this is the way to travel" that is until the last three hours over Canadian air space and we had turbulance the whole way. It wasnt bad turbulance but bad enough for me! However when we got over Alaska and the clouds cleared it made the whole trip worth it. It had to be the most breathtaking peice of land I have ever seen! When we got all of our things arranged we decided we should look around and we ended up getting lost we were still on the whole feeling like its two hours later than it should be and the sun didnt start setting until about 10 so we were pretty zapped!

On Monday we went to the area we are going to live in its about 20 minutes away from Anchorage its called Eagle River and just so I can praise God here we found a house. We arent buying right away but we think this will be a great house to rent for a while. Rental housing is real scarce there because of all of the millitary that transfers in and out plus the owners are cool with our dogs!

With living arrangements set in place we got to play for the rest of the week. We went to the Alaska state fair and saw vegetables that are as big a humans! We went to the Kenai peninsula. We got to go on a Glacier cruise. We went to the Alaska wildlife habitat. And we ate way too much, the fish really is better there! It is amazing its beautiful and everyone is so nice I think its going to be a great place to live. I am still not looking forward to the winters however!

We got back in California on August 30th it was so good to see the kids when I got off the plane, although it was nice to have some time alone with Michael I ached for my kids to be with me. So now that we have this trip almost out of the way its time for me to move on to the next phase which is packing up and saying our goodbyes I am starting to get really emotional! I am excited about this move but I am also really sad.

Pics are bellow check em out! I have more but I think at this point it just is best if I post what Ive got.
