Today we found out that we will be moving into our house this Friday (July 2nd)! Yeah! And even better than that is Peter has that day off since it is right before the July 4th weekend so it doesn’t even mess up his work schedule.
The annoying thing is that we have to move all of our crap to a new hotel room on Wednesday and then haul of that crap plus more to the new house on Friday. I think right now would be a good time to count my blessings…
I will send out an email soon with our local phone number and address soon.
The top floor of the house includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The first floor includes a family room, a living room, kitchen. half bathroom, and dining room. And BONUS – the BASEMENT!!! – with enough space for the treadmill, my sewing table, Peter’s tools and all of our other misc stuff. It also includes a two car garage which will certainly be nice during the winter here in Alaska; both of our vehicles will be able to get out of the elements and not completely freeze at night.
Tomorrow I am going to sign the kids up for swimming lessons. I am also trying to hunt down a good piano teacher – there are not many to be found in “The Last Frontier” (at least not all the way up here in the Fairbanks area – most everything in this state happens down in Anchorage). I emailed a piano teacher at the local university and he emailed back a list of his students that teach in the area. The university does not have a program for young children. If this doesn’t pan out then I will continue to teach them while we live here.
