Alaska IS Home

Downtown St. Pete

Summer hike in Anchorage

As a late New Year’s Resolution to myself, I’ve decided to start keeping a blog. Mostly because life is so sweet and so good and I want to both share it and keep some sort of record. I moved to Anchorage from St. Petersburg, Florida about a three and a half years ago.  It’s hard to explain how a place so different from where I’ve ever lived quickly began to feel like so much like home. But here I visited and here I stayed. And now I am getting ready to marry Tim, the sweetest and without a doubt, best man I have ever or will ever know.  And he is 100% Alaskan, as in his parents moved up here in the 70’s and this is where he  was born and this is where he’s likely to always want to live. This leads me to say Alaska IS home. Sorry Mom, Dad and Sis, but maybe when you finally make it up here for the wedding this summer, you’ll understand what is so magical about this place and the rhythm of life here.
