A year ago

A year ago today the kids and I boarded a plane in Missouri where it was 105 degrees and headed to Alaska where it was 51 degrees. I never could have imagined what lay ahead for us.
God blessed us with a chance to fulfill a dream of ours to live in Alaska. We have loved living here. We have experienced so much and still have so much more ahead. Eagle River has been an amazing place to live, but now we will be moving north to Fairbanks. I am so thankful for this transfer. Rite now Andrew is out of town so much and we hardly get to see him. Once we move to Fairbanks he will be home every night and actually have weekends!! I can't wait to have dinner at the table  as a family every night or go to church as a family again every Sunday! 
I do have to admit that I am nervous about how cold it gets there in the winter, but we are very optimistic and have always made the best out of everything. 
Now that we've been here a year we are now residents and that means we can hunt and not have to pay an arm and a leg. Fairbanks is a wonderful spot for hunting! I can't wait! I am really excited about this move and experiencing so much more of Alaska.
