Mosquitoes

The moment the snow and ice melted, the jumbo-sized mosquitoes came out. They are hungry too..... I think I need to go and stock up on the OFF! spray for the summer :)

Oh my, Alaska sounds less and less enticing to me. Do you have any regrets yet moving there? Mosquitoes usually just eat me up.

The summers here are really beautiful, but yet there are TONS of mosquitoes. We have to be sprayed down before going out or else you really get eaten alive. It's annoying.
I don't have any regrets about coming up here, but I know that I wouldn't want to live here forever. It's just too far away from friends and family and the winters are way too long. I could deal with how harsh they are if they only lasted a few months. I feel like I'm going to blink and we're going to have snow again!!

Wow, That would really suck. I am sorry Jen, Get a lot of OFF and Off candles. The bugs are not here yet, but I know they will soon. Love you.
