Introduction

Well, I guess I should give a little background about myself... My name is Christy and I am a stay at home mom to one boy.  I have been married for 16 years to Eric, who is a Sgt in the United States Army.  We have lived in a few different states... North Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia... And about 6 months ago we started our newest adventure... Alaska!  This blog was the brain child of my sister, Shanna, who thought that it would be therapeutic of me to write down what life is like living in Alaska.  I totally agree... Over the next year a lot will be happening in my life, as well as the lives of my husband and son.  This is going to become a daily update on how we live and what we do... not just in Alaska, but also dealing with everyday issues in our lives.  Hopefully you won't think our lives are too boring, but maybe this will help some to actually get to know us and understand our lives a little better.

You will come to find out that I am fighting weight issues, I am very active in my son's development, he has been diagnosed with extreme ADHD and Tourette Syndrome, I love to cook, I love crafts, I love staying home and hanging with my family.  These topics will be discussed pretty much regularly.  I also want to give some insight and helpful hints to life in Alaska... If by chance you are new to Alaska yourself, or are in the process of moving here, either through the military or just because... I would like to think that our experience coming here will be beneficial.  We have learned so much about our safety, from the simplest of things to the most extreme weather conditions.   So I hope you keep coming back to see what life is like in Alaska!
