				We have been here in Anchorage for two years 
				now.  We have been blessed to experience soooo much yet we 
				feel like it has gone by really fast. 
				
				  
				
				Speaking of time going by fast ... we will be 
				leaving in less than 5 months!  We finalized our plans to 
				return to Pennsylvania back in the late fall of 2009.  We 
				will be leaving Alaska on the weekend following the end of 
				school.  School ends on Friday, May 21st and our plan is to 
				leave Alaska on that following Saturday or Sunday (22nd, or 
				23rd). 
				
				  
				
				We plan to follow the Alcan highway down to 
				Seattle and then over to Boise to visit the Rasmussens.  We 
				will stay there for a few days (or as long as they can put up 
				with us .. which ever comes first) and then head due east to PA.  
				We plan on rolling into PA some time during or shortly after the 
				first weekend in June. 
				
				  
				
				It looks like Pastor John and Sandy will be 
				visiting us in March.  We are really looking forward to 
				that visit!  March is a great time to be in Alaska ... that 
				is if you like snow.  The temperatures are getting a little 
				milder by that point and the days are getting much longer.  
				The average high temp for mid March is around 34 and the 
				daylight lasts from around 6:30 am to around 9:30 pm (including 
				dawn and dusk).  So, you have long days to experience 
				Alaska; the temps are not brutal; and the landscape is just 
				beautiful from a full winter's worth of snow. 
				
				  
				
				By the way ... I know I have to update the 
				picture on the home page with a pciture that includes Jake, but 
				we do not have a family picture yet!  I will work on it! 
				
				  
				
				Back to the grind tomorrow.  School - 
				work - sports.  |
