Well for those of you who don't know... Jathan graduated in December (YAY!!! and CONGRATS!!!) And was offered a job with the Corps of Engineers... in ALASKA! WOW! So the past few months have been crazy busy with decluttering and getting ready to move 56 hours away! We sold a few more things, a horse, our 4Runner, a covered wagon (so funny we had one of these to sell :) a few more guns, a baby cradle. KSL is our best friend! So Jathan made the long trek, starting last Thursday morning. He drove 15 hours to Bellingham, Washington, about 2 hours from Seattle. In Bellingham he caught a ferry, The Alaska Marine Highway to be exact, and was ocean bound for three days. He then got off the Ferry in Haines, Alaska and drove about another 15 hours to Anchorage. What a trip!! He finally arrived Tuesday night. Started work Wednesday morning and is currently house hunting... Crazy, CRAZY Exciting times. Once he has a home for us I will fly out with the two little kiddos.
We were going to give Zanna's Betta away but Jathan could not stand the thought of Zanna having to part with her beloved fish... so he took the fish on the week long journey. He said betta almost froze to death twice but he was able to revive him...

I am sorry but I hate this post. How dare Jathan take my best friend thousands of miles away. And Andelyn's best friend too. I am still pretending it is fake and you really aren't going. Jathan can come home and visit once a year. It would be fine.
Oh my gosh, I had no idea you guys were moving!! And to ALASKA no less! What an adventure it will be! And considering how much you guys love the outdoors, I'm sure you'll blend right in! Good luck with everything, we will miss you!
Wow...this will definitely be a new adventure for all of you. I can totally picture Jathan not letting his little girl down and taking the fish. That is sooo CUTE! I was literally LOLing when I read that he had to revive him. Best wishes and happy moving :).
WOW! I know Reba is so sad but I am excited for you guys... I can see you guys having a great time in Alaska! I hope all goes well for you with the move and getting settled! Keep us updated!
Ha ha ha how funny he took the fish! that made me laugh! How fun and exciting your journey is just starting! Hope you don't freeze and hope you see lots of Alaska!!! Enjoy it!
What a crazy adventure! Good luck!
Oh Merm-you are going to be a great Alaskan! I just love that you had a covered wagon to sell, and who knew there was a market for those? Make sure you hunt lots of animals for TJ!
ALASKA???? That's crazy!!! I'm so excited for you though...and can't wait to see pics of your new adventures!!
Now, that is true love! What a Daddy to take the fish along! Hilarious....
Wow! I am really excited for you. Kinda jelous, actually. What an adventure. I think you will love it, and I really really really hope I can come visit!
omg merm. a covered wagon?!! why did you not sell it to me. i really have been looking everywhere for one. lol i would say i'm gonna miss you living so far away, but i'm already a world away...so sadly, i really won't know the difference. i do hope that we can keep in touch via phone calls and internet. it would be heartbreaking to lose my friend whom i met and kissed and became bffs with. i love you little mermaid.
CONGRATS! THAT IS SO EXCITING! THERE IS NOTHING MORE BEAUTIFUL THEN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST! GOOD LUCK WITH FINDING A NEW HOME!
WOW!!! Alaska!!! That is so exciting, I'm so excited for you guys! So...in June we will be moving to Florida.....we will be living as far apart as you can get in the continental US. :( I never would have thought when we were kiddos we'd be this far apart! Anyways...so happy for you guys...good luck finding a house!!
Oh my gosh! I can't believe you guys are really leaving! :( That will be a fun adventure for your family though-it already sounds like Jathan has been through a ton! Good luck with everything! Keep up the blogging so we can check on you! :)
