Adventure. Wikipedia states "An adventure is defined as an exciting or unusual experience; it may also be a bold, usually risky undertaking, with an uncertain outcome." I think I can clearly say, my life in the last year and a half, has been an adventure. You see that hansom man up there, grinning from ear to ear? He changed it all. We dated in high-school. Ah, yes. The days of young and dumb. I gave him that awful line, let's be friends. But it wasn't over yet. He is one persistent man. He came waltzing (okay.. maybe not waltzing.. I would have to stay strutting) back into my life several years later and didn't let several dozen un-answered phone calls slow him down. Little did I know that after I answered one, he wasn't going to let me go. 


At the time, it didn't seem like we were moving that quickly, rather, more at a leisurely pace. We joked about taking baby steps, dated awhile, got a shared phone plan, a puppy. Then he popped the question and of course I said yes. And ever since then, time has been speeding by, that leisurely pace disappeared. Three days after my wedding dress arrived an even bigger gift arrived, in the form of a + + +. That would be three positive pregnancy tests. We arrived at the conclusion we were going to move back to Alaska where he could go back to work for his old job, as the economy has yet to pick up again. And I could be a stay at home mom to the most adorable little baby. So we planned our wedding and said I do, on one of the best days of our lives.

The next best day of our lives arrived on February 24th. Landrum. I never knew someone could steal your heart so quick, well.. his father was pretty quick too. 

 And so, with our new born in our arms, our U-Haul packed up, tearful goodbyes said, we started our Adventure. North To Alaska! Where the daylight remains through summer, leaves for the winter and is some of the most breathtaking scenery you could imagine. 


And of course now that I have you caught up on everything, I'll have the chance to blog our daily adventures! Keep your eyes open and your web browser on, cause life just keeps getting better and bigger every day!
