Only 31 days... and a wake up

So here we are just about a month out from leaving the great state of Alaska.  Things are starting to kick into high gear.  We had a yard sale this past weekend and made a lot of cash on junk and winter gear, both of which are hot commodities here in Valdez.  Speaking of the yard sale, it was snowing during our yard sale.  It is still snowing...I think it will never stop snowing.

Charlie and I are both finishing up work this week.  I am officially done on Thursday and Charlie starts his leave Friday afternoon.  This should be interesting! We still have a few things to take care of, odds and ends, but for the most part we are ready to move on.

We will definitely be looking for a house as we just found out that military housing is not even an option, with the wait being 12-18 months minimum - hello, that's as long as we ever live somewhere.

Ok...so here's the run down... looking forward to the movers, not looking forward to cleaning and clearing housing, looking forward to Juneau, not looking forward to the ferry, looking forward to Texas, not looking forward to having the kids say goodbye to their friends here, looking forward to NO MORE SNOW, not looking forward to oppressive heat.  Guess that about sums it up!
