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]

This blog is for my mother. She likes to see where I'm going AND travelbogs are her heroin. Actually I'm going to Chugiak Alaska (travelBlog does not have Chugiak as an option for regions you can visit) to visit my closest friend from college, Ashley. She lives here with her two dogs and husband who is currently serving our country in the Army. Being a great tour guide, she has never let me down on any of our trips together. Can't wait to see what she has planned for us... The name "Chugiak" comes from a Dena'ina word meaning "place of [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]

So, this is Anna. I am having a horrible day. :( David and I woke up and took a shower. We were out of our conditioner so I used the conditioner the hotel had in the bathroom. Now my head smells like pine sol. Who freakin makes conditioner that smells like Pine Sol?! Ramada Inn, that's who. So, we checked out of the hotel and I took David to his first day of work at his warehouse job. He gave me his debit card so I could get lunch for myself, so I figured I would just explore the city on [View Full Entry]

Ok, so in the process of getting Anna a job, I have acquired two. I will be working fulltime at a warehouse in "the slopes" as they call it and working part time at Home Depot. Tomorrow I have to go take two drug tests, get letters from both of my jobs stating my salary, turn it in to the apartment manager, go to Wells Fargo and accept a wire transfer for the money from the car, take that money back to the apartment and put a down payment on it and sleep! Then enjoy my last weekend off work. As [View Full Entry]

Anna and I just got home from our first "job". It was for netflix opening up returned dvd's and organizing them. It was originally a 4 hour job, but me and Anna finished it in under 2 and a half hours. I can't believe that is someones full-time job. To sit and open mail for 8 hours a day would drive me insane! Anyway, that will give us a little bit more money for the time being. I go in for my second interview with Home Depot today at 5. Im really hoping to hear back from this telecommunications company up [View Full Entry]

Ok, so here goes... I went to the Home Depot to get a job, in the middle of the interview she told me I am way too over-qualified for the job so she gives me the name of one of her friends that owns a company. This company builds cell towers for the oil industry in Anchorage. I put my resume in there today and the hr gave it directly to the Home Depot lady's friend. She even called him directly and put in a good word for me. Then we went to Annas interview and they got a job for [View Full Entry]

We found our new favorite internet cafe:) They have really good coffee too! Its called the Kaladi Brothers. Plus Anna and I agree there's a really cute girl that works here. loll. It really sucks that our hotels wireless is down because we cant watch anything but hotel supplied cable... which shows the same movie every hour. I got another interview for tomorrow though. That gives me two interviews and Anna 1...... We did go look at the building she might work in. Its pretty impressive, it's a high-rise all glass windows. We went to a restaurant called Humpy's last night. [View Full Entry]

So our two days at super 8 hotel has come to an end. We are switching to an econolodge for the next two days because griffin needs his own bed. He has been driving us crazy because our current room only has one bed. The hotel we stayed at before this he had his own bed and slept on it all night. Our life has been staying in this hotel room and watching movies on our laptop over wifi. We went to a nice restaraunt last night called the Glacier Brewhouse. They have their own micro-brewery inside the restaraunt. The prices [View Full Entry]
