And if JaDee gets me a fly rod for Christmas as my new friend Felicia got, I would jam it up---wait this is a family blog!
So here are some pictures in case you all forgot what we look like!

A photo post
Yesterday was a bad day. And unlike most bad days I was unable to spin this one into a semi-amusing blog post that would simultaneously lift my spirits and get me to laugh about my plight. to sum it all up (because now you are curious as I would be to read such an ominous introduction) let me tell you I am now 1080 days away from leaving Alaska. Yeah, the countdown has begun.

Adorable family! You make Christmas look so fun in the midst of a move and Alaskan chaos!!
(Yep, I'd do the same with a fly fishing rod. My dad bought my mom a shotgun one year for her birthday. IN turn, she put a new washer/dryer on layaway for his anniversary gift. LOVE that story!)
I don't know the particulars of why the countdown has begun for you, but I'm so sorry. When we hit some bumps with purchasing this second house, I went lamenting to my mom, wondering if moving was a huge mistake and we shouldn't have done it. She said that the six times we've packed up and moved, she HATED every minute of it. It was always a nightmare with unexpected expenses, lost money on every house, closing glitches, difficult adjustments to neighborhoods and schools, etc. It made me feel a little better that I wasn't the only one!
I totally understand. It is so hard to move and feel all alone. My mom says "hi" we are in CA visiting. It does get better. If nothing else tomorrow is only 1079 days!
Oh Nicole! I just read all three installments of your trek to Alaska and let me say, reading about you sitting there in the airport with your 10 suitcases, 3 kids, and 3 pets brought tears to my eyes... literally. I know I am pregnant and prone to emotion, but you poor thing! I'm so glad you were able to feel a little peace right there and get settled in to your hotel. We miss you lots and pray every night that you'll get a house soon. And think of this-- after what you've been through, things can only get BETTER! Love you guys!
Nicole, I am so impressed with the gingerbread house, and the chain decorations on the tree, and the chains as a swag over the fireplace . . . so beautiful!!! You are such an amazing mom . . . even though you're stuck where you are . . . and you're counting the days . . . what fun it must of been to spend christmas doing fun things together, as you always do. After seeing the pictures, I was singing your praises to your dad, and he said "well she is a teacher"! I had to reply "yes, but in high school, and I don't think she has the high schoolers making red and green chains or gingerbread houses! We both got a chuckle out of it. Anyway, we send our love . . . and are glad it's only 1078 now! Love, Carol
