Land of the Midnight Sun

So Alaska was AMAZING! I was a little apprehensive of leaving home at first, but being there really made me see that I want/need to get out of Vegas. I need a drastic change from the life that I am use to living. Alaska was soo beautiful. I usually can not sit in one place for too long, but I was content sitting on the patio just looking at the mountains, reading, feeling so calm and relaxed. Jon and I went to Talkeetna on the train, which was fun. And being the Vegas/California girl that I am didn't think about wearing tennis shoes to a lodge in the mountains. Just my luck, it rained and rained and rained the whole time, and my feet were cold. LOL

The three days to myself were actually relaxing. I don't think I have felt so domesticated in my life. Laundry, cooking, and cleaning for 72 hours...and I liked it. I think I will be an excellent housewife if I do say so myself. If you know someone, don't hesitate to call. Because I am not waiting around forever. :) Anyway, the next couple of days hiking and laughing and getting used to the sun never going down was fun. Fishing had to be the highlight of the week. We had to drive six hours from Wasilla to Homer, which was fun and tiring and annoying when all you want to to sleep, but it was all worth it. Sleeping in an RV was an experienced, especially when you are sleeping on a bed meant for a toddler. But it was fun. Jon and I laughed for a good five minutes at the fact that both of us are trying to fit on this "bed." But it forced him to cuddle with me. JK.

All in all it was an AMAZING weekend. My checklist was fufilled: I saw a moose, a puffin, and sea otters, so I was happy. Oh, and I got to spend time with Jon, which was good because I hadn't seen him in months and he makes me laugh. Laughing was exactly what I needed right now with everything going on at home. I am grateful from everything Jon did and how much time he spent with me. I was kinda surprised we didn't get on each other's nerves. LOL. I did things I haven't done since I was a kid. I want to move there now! But I said that about Seattle too. We shall have to see when I graduate...which is in less than a year. So excited to leave this place and start a new chapter in my life!
