Here it is, the beginning of the school year and for the first time in 20 years I am not going. (Goodness that makes me feel old!) I have successfully finished my M.S. this summer and now am in fall awkwardly watching every else go back to school. So what did I do? I packed up my things for a weekend up North with Dan. I had dreams of all sorts of wonderful things while he was at work...knitting (forgot it at home), drawing, photography, berry picking...you name it and I was going to do it and enjoy every moment of my non-school attending freedom. However, a horrid migraine came in and stomped my face back into Suck-ville. So with the exception of a few excursions, such as a drive up to the official "North Slope" through Atigun Pass (Non-Alaskans, think Iceroad Truckers), I napped while Dan worked away. To be honest, its just what I needed.
So here it goes, my new life as a real, grown up. No more excuses, just me doing the things I want to, with the people I love. Hopefully this becomes a place where you can follow my creative en devours, my passion for travel and experience all things Alaskan with me. I want to hear your comments, share stories and hopefully use some of the advice that you provide.
