If anyone wants to visit us while we're still in Monterey, you need to do it before the end of the year. It looks like we'll be moving to.......Fairbanks, Alaska!! We're really excited about this - although I don't think January is going to be the best time to move there. I think it will be quite a shock for all of us from the mild climate in Monterey.
So, it looks like we're going to have to stock up on long underwear and parkas, because we should be there for 3 years. We don't have our orders yet, but Andy's name is pinned to the assignment.
Ten reasons I want to move to Alaska.
1. The total population of Alaska is much less than that of San Antonio where we used to live.
2. SNOW!! The kids are just dying to play in the snow - although I'm sure they're going to get more than they bargained for.
3. The Northern Lights
4. Long summer days
5. Beautiful scenery
6. Fishing (for Andy)
7. Homeschooling laws in Alaska are lax and if we decide to go with a charter school, then we'll be getting about $3000 a year to spend on educational materials and classes - WOOHOO!!
8. No income tax and no sales tax.
9. A new house (ok, not a new house but a different house - and hopefullly a bigger house than what we're in).
10. Adventure!!!!! I love Monterey, but I think we're all ready for something new :)

Thanks for including us. I was just at your parents looking at all the pictures they took last week. I loved seeing all the kids. What a wonderful family. Wow, brings back memories (4 Kids)Ruskin is still spoiled by his sisters! Enjoy it all.

Good to hear from you Amy. It's been too long. How are you guys enjoying civilian life? How is your NEW house?? I'm so jealous. I'll have to check out your blog...

Thanks Marjie,
You're right - that's what happens when you have 3 big sisters. You get spoiled rotten :)
