Update

So...Alaska...is...BEAUTIFUL!! I have really been enjoying my time here in the amazing state of Alaska. There is so much to explore, and I haven't even scraped the surface yet!

Coulton has been really busy working, so for the first month, I was just hangin out and enjoying the scenery and the different sites. There are some really cool spots that you would literally only see in books, unless you visited here of course. The views are literally breath-taking. You feel like you are looking at a painting. It's pretty unreal.

Being home all the time alone and trying to find things to do to keep me busy, took its toll on me, and I started to get bored/homesick/depressed. So, I decided, it would probably be best if I started working. For one, it would really help Coulton's stress level go down knowing that he isn't the only source of our income, also it would give me a sense of socialization. As I was thinking of places I wanted to work, I thought of this amazing restaurant Coulton and I drove past the first day we got here. It has the most beautiful architecture and style. We went to eat there for my birthday, and I really fell in love with the experience I had there. It's not like anything you would ever see/experience. It's modern, yet has this old feel to it. It's kind of, in a way, magical. I HAD TO WORK THERE! The next couple days I was busy getting my resume put together and filling out the application. I turned it in, got an interview, and was offered the job that day! So amazing! Such a blessing!

Since then, I have really enjoyed my job, meeting new people/the locals, and having fun with the rest of the girls that FINALLY arrived. They are some of the other wives who's husbands also work with vivint. It's made this whole experience a lot easier to handle. This will be a summer I'll never forget, and one to tell the kids someday for sure :)
