1. we made it to Alaska safely and have been SUPER busy ever since we arrived in early October – hence the lack of posts.
2. lea drove the whole way, because she wanted to.
3. we are having a great time so far!
4. our dogs don’t hate us yet for forcing them to live in a cold cold climate – kasey still has her regular adventures in poo-land and tenga has his blanket so they’re happy.
5. we have have yet to see a moose since we moved here. lea, however has seen a fox and some suicidal hares during her early morning trek to work.
6. carmen is still knitting… A LOT, especially for lea’s family!
7. lea’s obsession with comics continues to grow…
8. lea got a green job! We can’t say where but if you want to know just send her an email.
9. carmen also has a job so we’re not poor.
10. the price of fuel is INSANE in Alaska even though it grows here!
11. in our spare time these days we watch Battlestar Galactica, hang with the family, and work on the house.
12. we bought cross country skis - hilarity will ensue.
13. we’re trying to be as green as possible despite the fact that where we live lacks a recycling program.
14. we hope to start posting more regularly soon!

PS – the killer wolf and moose thing may sound funny but it’s sadly true. Lots of people die from hitting moose up here and lea’s future brother in law’s dog got eaten by wolves, poor thing… It’s really wild here, people who don’t believe it should read the Fairbanks Daily News Miner sometime. But part of the reason we came here was for the wildness and the adventure. We’ll let you know in the future what it’s like to have to carry a hand gun to go skiing or hiking because of wild aMinals.
