Hi from Anchorage

Hi everyone. Hope this finds you all very well. We've been having a fantastic time exploring Alaska, hanging out with friends, and relaxing during our last couple of weeks of full-time travel. Buddy's visiting the Vet early tomorrow morning, as he needs a Certificate of Health to travel across the border into Canada and then again into the US as we drive back to Portland. So we're hoping to start our long journey back to Portland following this visit. So much travel in the past couple of months has been amazing, but I am also getting pretty anxious to be home and to be in our home.
We've got a lot of work ahead of us in getting our house back in order, but I feel ready for all of that. We've both been job hunting much more seriously now that we're back in the area, so please keep your fingers crossed for us.
Regarding this blog, I can't quite decide what to do with it. Shall I let it go, or maybe I'll just post some news and pictures periodically. Any votes?
Well, whatever happens with the blog, thanks to all of you for taking the journey with us as we lived in and explored so many new places of our world. Here's a quote by Sir Edmund Hillary that I've been saving to use as somewhat of a closure to this part of our journey. I read it while we were in New Zealand, and felt that it expressed some of my own thoughts so well - Enjoy

I have been given more than my share of excitement, beauty, laughter, & friendship. Each of us has to discover his own path - of that I am sure. Some paths will be spectacular and others peaceful & quiet - who is to say which is the most important? For me the most rewarding moments have not always been the great moments - for what can surpass a tear on your departure, joy on your return, and a trusting hand in yours?



Much love and be well -

Love, Christy
