Head north to Alaska! Head north!

I know there is a rumor going around that we are moving.......well the rumors are true! On July 7th Steve and I are moving to Anchorage, Alaska. Why Alaska!? Steve's older brother James and his wife Sarah live there and James can get Steve a job at the Alaska railroad as an electrician where James works as a conductor. Can't Steve get a job in New Hampshire!? No, We have looked while he was in school and since he graduated and apparently no one is hiring an electrician. Doesn't Steve have a job!? Yes, but he is working at the same job he had since he was 17 and he doesn't wan't to work there forever and it doesn't pay well enough for a young married couple who want to get a house and have kids one day. Can't you get a job and help him out and so you can stay!? Yes and no. I am trying to finish my sign language degree and I can't work and go to school at the same time because of my nerve disease, it will overwhelm my body too much. (I am planning on finishing my degree in Alaska so don't worry.) How are you going to get to there!? We bought a truck and are going to get a closed trailer and drive. Drive!? Are you crazy!? How long is it going to take to drive!? Well we are crazy I guess. It will take us about 2 weeks,We are leaving July 7th and will get to Alaska July 23rd-24th (Good birthday for me which is the 23rd). We will camp or sleep in hotels along the way and are going to take our time to take in the sites. So there you have it. We have prayed about it and we feel that Alaska is the place we need to be right now. I don't know what else to say about Alaska and the move so if you have any other questions ask us. We haven't blogged for a while because of getting things ready for the move and we are still helping Steve's parents do things around the house such as the kitchen and building a deck and of course it has to be done by the time we leave. Steve is pretty handy to have around. Will try to update you all on here more often. We will try to blog on the way but if we can't we will blog when we get to Alaska. That is all for now!
