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.
