Even Longer...

I know it's been quite sometime, almost 4 months to be exact. Here's a quick synopses of the last 4 months: completed interview, accepted job in Alaska bush, finished school, graduated, celebrated graduation, traveled with family to NYC, watched softball games in Madison, packed a household for a cross-country move, said goodbye to friends and family, and then had an arduous ordeal in trying to fly out. Maybe I'll elaborate another time on the whirlwind encompassed in each individual aspect of that.

For now we are settling in to new lives in Bethel, AK. And for those that still don't know where that is, it is halfway between Anchorage and Russia. (Nope still cant see it from here) This includes the shock of cost of living differences and getting to know your way around town (only one paved road but 21 miles of gravel roads to get to know).

Looking forward to having a long weekend as being out of work got me pretty lazy and not ready to be back at 40 hours/week (Im sure many of you will grumble about that). I promise more regular updates (I'm starting a stash of stories to add). I will eventually get back to my daily posting and if not me I'll let Jake guest post when some interesting things come his way.

First Bethel moment for you to ponder: only one paved road yet already delayed by construction.
