Obviously I’ve not been on this blog in quite sometime. Crazy life I tell ya! Hubs and I are now living in the quaint, yet majestic town of Juneau, Alaska. We moved here to support his brother & his wife start a Bible College/Seminary. Quick little plug for our ministry:

Anyway, it’s been quite the challenge in getting here and we’ve met a lot of opposition on the way, but we still know this is where the Lord wants us. Now that we’re here, there’s some adjusting. We’ve been staying with other people living out of suitcases for a few weeks. We’re trying to settle in as much as possible while living with hubs family here in Juneau. It’s a tight squeeze with 4 adults and 2 children in a 2 bedroom/1 bath apartment. It’s an adjustment for everyone, but I like to think it’s harder for me. (of course because I’m a princess). Hubs and I are so used to being alone and obviously with no children. Before marriage, I lived alone for 7 years. Before that though, I lived with my pastor’s family for a couple years and they had 4 children. So if I can do that, surely I can live with family. 
It’s really been easy – after the initial shock wore off. We’re actually looking for a large house we can all share and split the cost. That would save a lot of money as the cost of living is REALLY high here in AK. The weather isn’t that bad – YET. Right now it feels like NC winters which I can handle. That’s nice because it’s slowing me into the colder weather. Sunset at 4pm is totally weird. Also, the jet-lag is finally starting to wear off. I’ve not seen any bears yet – but I think they might be preparing to hibernate. Hubs is anxious to buy a gun so we can go in the woods. It’s a big no-no here to go in the woods alone and/or without a gun. Plus guns make hubs (former marine) all giddy so of course I want him to have his heart’s desire. The people here are very sweet and friendly. Apparently, it’s a small town so everyone knows everyone and you run into them at the store. I like that. I’m still working on my master’s degree. It feels like FOREVER, but it’s only been a little over a year. I think it seems like longer because I’m not taking any breaks and going year-round til I finish. I start my internship here in January so I’m looking forward to that. I think that about sums it up other than missing family and friends back home. I’m looking forward to getting settled into a bigger place soon – hopefully we’ll find a place before our shipment of our household items arrives at the end of the month. Well, with ALL that being said – I seriously need to work on my homework. Bummer. I’d rather go exploring in our new town!!
Thanks for the update! Glad to hear all is well! Can’t wait to see pictures!
