great idea sherrie!

It is official we are moving to Bethel, Alaska! Cory just finished his 3100 mile drive from Orem, Utah to Anchorage, Alaska. Of course, I am flying. I can barely handle the 6 hour plane ride, how would I handle 58 hours of driving? On Thursday I will fly to Anchorage to meet Cory. Then WE will get on another plane and fly to Bethel.



We are leaving friends, family, cell phone, cars, pretty much everything and anything. All we will have is each other (which sounds dorky, but is true). Man writing this makes me wonder why we are leaving in the first place. Sure, we have great jobs lined up, but come on... ALASKA. Don't you remember watching The Proposal? Her face was almost identical to our parents faces when we told them about the move. Kinda funny actually. Now, just for the record this move is temporary, 18 months max! Just like I promised Dad!

Personally I have never lived more then 15 miles away from my parents, so to be 3400 miles away might be a challenge. Just to give you an idea, we will be closer to Russia then my family. Sherrie thought that it would be fun for me to create a blog so family and friends could follow our journey in the Eskimo land.

Cory and I have been to Alaska before. It is extremely beautiful, I'll give it that. But also extremely different from Utah. For one when I visited Alaska with Cory in the summer the sun never went down, never. It just circled the sky, quite weird feeling actually. Another thing I noticed in Alaska that I have never found in Utah were the MOOSE, they are everywhere, just roaming the streets.

This is a video we took of the MOOSE ...
