Alaska Bound

Aaron finally got our orders and it is official (as official as anything can be in the Army), we are moving to Anchorage, Alaska! Aaron has to report by May 1st, so the next few weeks are going to be completely crazy!

Somewhere around the first week in April we are heading home to PA to spend some time with friends and family before we start to make our cross country trek. I am hoping it will be a fun adventure seeing the United States on a road trip. We could have flown but we are taking the Harley and some much needed household goods because it takes awhile to get your stuff moved when you are moving base somewhere outside of the continental United States.

Plus, we didn't feel right about making Boone fly. He has never done it and I think he would be terrified. Plus, how do we know how he would be treated? Does he get potty breaks? Water? It would have been a really long time for him to be in such a crazy environment.

We are really excited about our new adventure and before you ask yes, we will probably be up there awhile. So if anyone wants to vacation in Alaska, you now have a great excuse!

Keep us in your prayers and I will keep you posted!
