New Adventure of Life

Well James and I made it to Alaska safely early Tuesday (6-28). Are plans were to stay in Anchorage until Thursday (6-30) then fly out to Aniak. Well our plans ended up changing due to me having a swollen face when I woke up that morning.  We called James' aunt and got a number for a dentist here in Anchorage. We make an appointment thinking that they could just pull my tooth and I could be on my way. Oh man were we wrong. the Doctor told me that he didn't advise us leaving today and to come back in a couple days. Well it just so happens that it's a holiday weekend, which means the earliest I could get in is on Tuesday (7-5) at 11am. Well we call his aunt to let her know what was going on. We had to figure out a way to get a hold of James' uncle since he was the one picking us up. We didn't want him to make a wasted trip in if it could be avoided. Now we just get to spend the next 5 days getting ready to finish our move. I do have to  say, that even with this whole...

So, I have been struggling this past week. The time came to where I had to say goodbye to my family in Michigan. When I was saying goodbye to my niece I just got really teary eye. She was giving me a hug and wasn't letting go. My older nephew gave me a hug and was being really strong about it. See he always had a hard time when I left or my older brother would leave for college. My brother and I went to college out of state in Tennessee. My nephew always had that hard time with us leaving. My younger nephew just thought it was more of a game. He ran around the house and outside in the yard until my husband caught him to give him a hug. I was in tears the whole 4 blocks to my parents house. I am going to miss those kids so much. I can't wait until I can see them again. After we said our goodbyes to my parents and little sisters we left for Illinois. I've been sick and being emotional the past few days. My poor husband doesn't know what to do with me. We leave for Alaska ...

  The time is drawing near for me to leave my home state and move and start a life in a new state. People are always asking how I'm feeling about this big move. I'm always saying I'm excited, nervous, and that I'm ready to get out of Michigan. Today I finish my last day of work and I got hit with the realization that in just a little more than two weeks that I will be boarding an airplane heading to my new home in Alaska. I'm not going to lie, I'm starting to get extremely freaked out. My poor husband is having a hard time dealing with my different emotions. One minute I'm happy excited to leave and then the next thing I'm crying because I realize what I am leaving behind.     This past week I've been trying to do something with my niece and nephews since its my last week really with them.They are going to be gone visiting my brother and his family during my last week in Michigan and when they get back I'll be leaving the next day. I have w...
