Post from Alaska

We have begun our move to Alaska! I arrived late last night (1am) and have been staying in a hotel until I can check in to our new apartment tomorrow morning. Rebecca and the children are still with our parents in Washington and they will be joining me soon. I have been informed by the moving company that all of our stuff is here and I could possibly have that moved in tomorrow. Our van however, will not arrive until maybe the 20th. Hopefully I can get everything all settled here by the time Rebecca and the kids arrive.

It is exciting starting this new phase of our life. Not only are we finally done with school and starting a real career, we are also in an adventurous part of the country. The flight was weird because we left Philadelphia in darkness at about 8pm and it was lighter out when I arrived in Anchorage a little after midnight.

Here is a picture of Anchorage. It is a city of about 300,000. Even though the mountains are really close on one side of the city and the ocean on the other side, it seems like things are really spread out here. We will be excited to tell you all about living in Alaska as we explore it over the next few months. Wish us luck!
