Home Sweet Home!

I am finally back in Michigan! It feels good be home. Even after a year of living in Alaska, I still consider this my home. Nothing is like good 'ol Grand Rapids. I was surprised when I left Alaska and didn't even take a second look. Knowing that I will probably never see Fairbanks again doesn't exactly bring a tear to my eye. Don't get me wrong it was a beautiful place to visit and I think everyone should see it once, but a year there was a little to much for me. I am excited to see what Texas brings us.

I arrived home Tuesday morning/afternoon after flying all night long. I didn't get much sleep at all. Out of my 3 flights only one was long enough to even try to sleep and I just so happened to have the worst seat ever. I was in the middle and had no room, my seat didn't recline and the air didn't work - needless to say, it was not an enjoyable flight and I only slept about an hour. That was a bummer because when I finally got home I ended up napping until about 4:30pm, which caused for a late night for me. I think I am still getting used to the time difference. I have been trying to get to sleep at a reasonable hour but its more difficult than it sounds.

Although I am home, Skylar was not able to leave Alaska quite yet. He will be driving back December 2. It's just not the same with out him here. I am keeping busy though and he is as well. He's going through the clearing process - for all those not knowing the military lingo, this means he is getting signatures from basically every single place on post. This is required before he can leave Ft. Wainwright. We can't wait for this next chapter in our lives - Brinlee, Fort Hood, and whatever else may come. :) Bring it on - we are ready!
