Our story

To get the full enjoyment from the rap, sing it to the fresh prince of Bel-Air. If you don't know it, please skip this section.

Now, this is a story all about how

Our life got flipped-turned upside down

And I'd like to take a minute

Just sit right there

I'll tell you how we got sent to Alaska to smell the fresh mountain air

In Texas and Oklahoma born and raised

In Houston was where We spent our previous days

Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all trying to stay cool (especially in the hot Houston summertime)

And then we had a little one and we had to start cleaning up all her drool

When Ward's supervisor who was up to some good 

Called and ask if he would move to the "Upper One's" neighborhood

We got one weekend to think over and we both were scared

The Ward looked at me and said "We're moving to Alaska to get some fresh mountain air"

We saw our friends and said goodbyes day after day

Then the movers packed our bags and sent us on our way

Ward gave me a kiss and then he and Kenai (Ward's dog) left with their airplane tickets

I then packed the rental minivan and looked at EK and my mom and said "we might as well kick it"

So a month later he flew back to Oklahoma to pick us up and all that

And was he excited to see EK, our cool cat?

I think so

He gave her lots of kisses and hugs everywhere

And told her how excited he was for her to smell the fresh mountain air

Well, our plane landed in Alaska and when we came out

There was lots of luggage and the sun was still out

We weren't used to that yet

We just got here

Then Ward ran to get the truck and with the quickness like lightening he disappeared

I whistled for his truck to stop and when it came near

The license plate still said Texas and everyone thought that was weird

But then we both looked at each other and realized we were here

And then we thought "Yo this is our new home, smell the fresh mountain air"

We pulled up to our new house around 7 or 8

And we pulled out the key  and said "yo, this our new home and we will trim all the plants later"

We looked at our kingdom

We were finally there

To sit on our new back porch to smell that fresh mountain air

The rest of our story... Well that's what this whole blogs about. 

The last family picture in our old home!

All our belongings in one large truck. Pretty weird to watch it drive away with everything in it knowing you won't see it for a month. But the best feeling was to see it arrive in Anchorage.

Our wonderful first home. I miss that place and those wonderful neighbors.

Em-Kats first swim in Oklahoma! I miss pool weather already.

Xoxo,

W, M, Em-Kat
