Sorry gang for being such a blogging slacker as soon as I move to such an awesome place ;-)
I'm still working on finding that fine balance between working outside the home, dealing with housework (since I am apparently awful at asking for help because I think I should do it all, just because I always have), finding furniture at reasonable prices for the house AND being excited and getting to know the area I've dreamed about living in. It all sure can wear a gal out quickly! On the bright side, we now having living room furniture and just yesterday got to sleep on a bed for the first time in months (can I get a wooohoo!!! LOL) since we finally caved and bought ourselves a new bed.
We had a lovely 3 day weekend last weekend, a nice change from my poor guys usual one day off a week thing, and played at some yard sales and took a drive up the Delta Junction way (that would be the odd call you got Hayley, LOL). I'll be ever so glad when my fella has more time off so we can really get out and explore and take lots of pictures, though I have managed to get a few. I don't think we will ever get over the "newbie" reaction to seeing moose, especially since we got to see a mom with baby on the way back from Delta and had to turn back around to go stop beside the road and get pictures. Just yesterday we finally got to see our first Bald Eagle while hanging out on Wendy's back porch.
All and all, basically, it's busy busy busy around here..but I shall figure all the balance out and get back to regular blogging soon.

Hi Missy good to hear from you, it all sounds very exciting, looking forward to hearing more when you're more settled.
Oh I wish you would have left a message! I don't always hear my phone and I didn't see the missed call till it was way late. Sorry I missed you!
congrats on the move. The pictures are nice.
Welcome to North Pole! Buy a fantastic scarf, a purse that repels water and doesn't show mud, some danskos that fit with some sweet hiking socks (at Prospector off S. Cushman) and some fuzzy mittens (Northern Outfitters by JoAnn Fabric).
Really, that is all you need. . . Oh, and an air popper for those less than warm evenings and family movie nights!
Thanks Sue! I'm still waiting for the whole "wow I live in Alaska" to kick in LOL
Sorry I missed you too Hayley, hopefully we will be back out that way sometime soon!!!
Thanks Kasie...I still haven't gotten many of the hundreds I've taken on here yet.
And woohoo!! another North Pole mom!! Any recommendations on where to find the fantastic scarf and purse?? Just checked out Northern Outfitters the other day but haven't been in Prospectors yet, though I work right down the street at the bank.
WooHoo for beds!!lol
I hope you never losse your newbie excitement! It would be soooo dull without it!
