So the next year was a blur...my husband joined the military and we were apart for a good part of 8 months...my daughter was 6 weeks old when he left. Now it wasn't bad. I found and learned many things about my friends and myself over that time.
1. Our relationship grew stronger. We missed each other and it was like we were dating again~
2. We visited as much as we could...we probably saw each other every couple of months but when we could we talked, wrote and just got to know each other again.
3. I found out who my real friends were and who I could trust...
4. I really just grew from the experience and did a lot of growing up over that time...
Then, they told us where we would be going...I still remember the text...well, I hope you are ready for the cold because we are going to Alaska..at least Sasha (our Alaskan Malamute) will be excited...imagine the last place I ever thought I would end up is Alaska.
Well, then we decide something even crazier...we are going to have the animals fly by themselves on a plane..(I still owe my best friend so much for taking them in until their flight...that is for another time)
We (my husband, me, my three year old and my 10 month old) will drive from NC to AK..
Well, we made it..and it was an amazing experience. View was fantastic, met some interesting people along the way and even through the Yukon which is the worst road that I have ever driven on (and I lived in PA), it was an experience I would do again in a heartbeat.
A few suggestions:
Buy the milepost...it had some great suggestions and we really got to see some great attractions
Have time to take the trip...we were given 10 days to get there and we used every minute
Have patience...temper tantrums, fights and weird hotels will happen...
Stay openminded..different, does NOT mean bad!!
Watch out for the wildlife..goats, caribou, moose, bears..you name it we saw it and had to be very careful.
