Yeah, we live here


A lot of times I will stop and think, "I can't believe we live here". It's still sort of unreal. Below are lots of pictures to record what we see here in Alaska. Mostly just snow and moose, but it's so beautiful here too. As of today, it has snowed 129 inches of snow in Anchorage this winter. The average is 69 inches, and the all-time record is 133 inches.  Talk about being in the right place at the right time. 
This was the rental house we lived in for the month of February


The tall Conoco Phillips building is where Kenny works

We just pulled off the side of the road for this picture when we went on a drive after we first got here. I was obviously still very pregnant.


This was taken from our hotel room where we stayed for 5 days in between houses. We had a gorgeous view of the city. Can you spot the two moose down there? They were just wandering around downtown on Sunday morning.
 
So on the way to church we stopped and took some close up pictures of them. The mom moose is peeing in this picture :)


My beautiful sister with a beautiful view behind her. We drove out to Beluga Point for this shot

Can you spot Kenny in this picture?



Looking out at the Turnagain Arm--a body of water that is actually just a bunch of ice chunks right now

The view from our living room window

Same window, different day
These two moose just waltzed into our backyard today while we were on google chat with my family. This is looking out of our gameroom window downstairs.

I can't believe moose just walk around the city like that! So cool and crazy. p.s. I love Bryn's sunglasses with her snow gear in that one picture. Your kids are so dang cute! Miss you all so much!
