Life in Alaska can be a lot of different things. For me...I love it! There is so much to experience. Not everyone feels that way though, like my son, Jake...He's 20 and he couldn't wait to leave. He moved with his friend, Cody, just one week ago and I'm excited for him to finally be on his own, but it's tough on a mom to let one of her kids go. Chester, my 3 year old Chinese Crested, couldn't care less I guess. We still have Lauren home. Lauren is 19 and will be starting college next week, we hope!! Many things will change for us over the next few months. I'll be trying to stay as busy as possible!
