Since I've gotten a lot of the same questions from friends, family, and on yesterday's post...I thought I'd do one big answer session. If you have a question that doesn't get answered, feel free to ask and I can answer it another time or in an email. :) And if you have no idea what this is all about, check out yesterday's post!
What town in Alaska are you moving to?
>>We'll be living near Anchorage, AK.
When are you moving?
>>We leave North Carolina later this week! We'll head to Kansas and Dave will fly out from there, I'll be meeting him in a month or two. So, if you're in Wichita (or nearby), make sure to email me if you're interested in a photo session!
What will Dave be doing?
>>He'll be a satellite technician in communications for AT&T.
Are you driving there?
>>No! We'll be selling our car once we get to Kansas and finding a new (to us) car in Alaska. Our poor old car would probably never make it to Alaska and it will be cheaper to ship a few things to ourselves (and pack them in our suitcases) than to rent a U-haul and make the truck up there.
What about the music?
>>Like I said in yesterday's post, Dave plans to record his next album while we're in Alaska and having the funds to put into the music will be HUGE. Believe it or not, Alaska is already one of the top places playing Dave's music! He plans to play shows when we get out there as well.
How long are you staying?
>>Of course we'll have to feel it out once we get there, but we plan to stay for a year or two and hopefully we can transfer somewhere closer to friends and family in the midwest.
Spilling the beans...our big news!
Ok friends, it's time to share the news that I had to make you wait to hear...
About two weeks ago, Dave got a call from an old Air Force buddy who gave him an out of the blue job offer. It's an amazing opportunity that we would be crazy to turn down! He was offered a position doing what he used to do in the Air Force (and loved) and I couldn't be happier for him. So, we're moving...again...this time to Alaska!!!
YES, we are super nervous, very excited, and our minds are blown. We have moments where we think, what on earth have we gotten ourselves into? We're exhausted from the packing and unpacking dance we've been doing the past few months, but I've got my coffee and we're powering through. What keeps us going is knowing this will be a great adventure, and even more so, a wonderful opportunity for our little family and our future.
I'm so excited to have you all on this crazy journey with us and we hope you'll join us on this new adventure! If you don't already, I'd love to have you follow me on instagram...there will be lots of travel/road trip pictures coming up very soon. And since there are changes coming soon to google/blogger, make sure you have me on your Bloglovin' so you don't miss a post!
Also, if any of you have lived in Alaska, have visited, or just happen to know more about Alaska other than the fact that it's cold- I'd love to hear your suggestions/tips!
