Let's take a trip down memory lane!
September 28(ish), 2009
We arrived. *shudder*
It was a nine-day drive, with most of that being through Canada.

Our U-Haul in British Columbia. It was freaking cold there. |

In front of the "Welcome to Alaska" sign. We look so happy. I think it was just relief to be out of Canada. |

I can't believe I used to take a billion pictures (with a very bad camera) out the windshield.
Our first rental. We moved in on October 3, 2009.
...we moved in because I was in love with the kitchen. That's slab granite. And it was lovely.
Then it started doing this ^ all the time and it was no longer lovely.
My outlook improved on February 24, 2010, when Scott returned from deployment #1.
I feel silly calling it a "deployment". He just caught the tail end of it (4 months). Most of the unit had been gone for a year, so we got lucky that time.
But look! I used to hike.

And I guess I used to go outside at night in the winter too. December 2009. (The coldest night ever.)
Hey, we used to do touristy things too.

I named him Huggles the Harbor Seal. And then I bought the stuffed animal version at the gift shop. |
Oh, Seward. You are the bane of my existence.
9 trips there in 3 1/2 years. Completely unnecessary.
