I'm a girl who has picked up and moved from coast to coast (& north past most of Canada). That is... Norfolk, Virginia to Bethel, Alaska. --- This journal is a record of the move, and life in the Tundra.

coming together

internet set up, electric in my name, bed bought and delivered, couch now bought and delivered, cabinets cleaned out (courtesy of mom), TV stand, bathrooms much more set up (still need over the toilet shelves but that can wait.

We still have to put together the TV stand, it's actually a small, low shelf with a split design, but it will work fantastically for what i need it for. That's on the schedule for sometime between now and when they bring the rest of my stuff.

i just hope i don't need to do this again any time soon. Maybe i'll love Anchorage enough to stay. That would be lovely. this nomad thing is getting tiresome, 8 states and 18 or so moves takes its toll.

It's official

I'm a resident of Anchorage, AK now.

Bed has been delivered, internet is hooked up (and soooooo much faster than I remember)

Still need to: get household goods delivered, find/buy couch and a few other smaller pieces of furniture.

... off to pick up JAX (he just arrived in Anchorage this morning, YAY)!!!

Northern Lights... (memory after watching a Northern Exposure episode)

I just finished watching an episode of Northern Exposure and was reminded of something I learned this last winter while watching the Northern Lights (they didn't explain it but I was told why)...

... There's a belief that if you whistle you can make the lights dance. Something about moving the air with your breath and thus moving the lights.

1 more day of work, then some relaxing and finishing up with the packing before my car, then my stuff, then I head onto the next great Alaskan adventure.
