Alaska Excitement!

This week we bought our plane tickets from Alabama to California, so now we have our main travel expenses covered. As I let myself believe that all of this is actually going to happen, I get more and more excited.

Other things that have heightened the Alaska Excitement:

• Help from Alaska Bloggers.


• I have an awesome reading list (thanks to Brett!).


• I know what a Toyo is (thanks to Mary and Theresa!!)


• Reading Coming Into the Country.


• I am split between wanting to read it all right away and not wanting the book to end. It is such a good book.


• Power Haircut


• For the last few months I have been frustrated with my hair, pulling it back in a lax, low-lying bun. After a while, I began to feel like an unfortunate animal had taken up residence on the back of my neck and died in its sleep. No more! I present my freshly cut hair, shorter than I have ever had it before. It feels wonderful.
