Today we decided it was about time we actually did some Alaska stuff. So, we decided to hike a trail called Flattop Mountain. I (Anna) am ridiculously out of shape. I seriously thought I was gonna die. It was so hard, but David pushed me the whole way. He and Griffin were running up the thing like it was nothing. Up near the top, we actually had to rock climb, hand over foot. It was hard, but it was actually a lot of fun. It was also a breathtaking view. We took as many pictures as we could, but they definitely [View Full Entry]

We get to move in to our apartment today! :) Finally! I can't say that I'll never go camping again, but it's definitely gonna be awhile lol. So, the apartment is really tiny and we had to pay a ridiculous amount of money to get it (bad credit), but at least we have a roof over our heads now. No more being homeless! Yay! The apartments have a fitness center that's right next to our building, a tanning bed, and a hot tub. They also have lots of grass for Griffin. Poor puppy got really sick yesterday. He went to the [View Full Entry]

I am going to talk to the lady at the Alpine Apartments at 9. Hopefully we can move in tonight or tomorrow. REALLY hopefully lol. I love camping, but you can only handle so much of a good thing, ya know? We went to Petco and got Griffin a new harness and leash yesterday. This one was supposed to stop him from pulling when he walks. Lol, guess how that turned out? Yeah, not so much. That little fart has so much freaking energy. So, David is still waiting to hear back from the telecommunications company, GCI, up here. He would [View Full Entry]

So here I am stealing some more wifi lol. I found out that I didn't get the job at the mortgage company yesterday. Guess it's for the best, though. I don't think I really wanted to work at a mortgage company, I think I just wanted to work. Anyways, the girl from Adams & Associates, Carolynn, is amazing. She is doing everything she can to get me a job, even if it's not through the company. She actually called her mom and sister and even an old friend who works for the governer's office to see if she could find anything. [View Full Entry]

So here are some of the pictures I've taken so far. I don't have very many of downtown yet. Things have been kind of crazy the past few days. The building that you see is the public library. It's massive. I had an interview for a full time job yesterday and my second interview is tomorrow afternoon. Wish me luck! :) [View Full Entry]

Ok, so I have decided on a new mission. Partly because of something Casey said to us, I've decided that I am going to put together a series of photos and writings to make you all so jealous of Alaska that you will HAVE to come up here! :) It really is absolutely beautiful here. I'm having a much better day by the way. I guess it's just hard adjusting to not knowing anything or anyone up here. I saw a ton of people my age hanging around downtown today, though, so that was encouraging. David is going to the chiropractor [View Full Entry]
