Our Adventure

We have been given a 3-5 year timeline to "Become Alaskans" and then we will be shipped back to the Lower 48. So we have a lot to learn in a really short time frame. We are hoping to enjoy every minute of the adventure and yes we are even looking forward to the winters. Pray for snow (it sounds crazy but if it's going to be dark and cold you want to have a snow adventure too)! #prayforsnow #snowbunny
