My second home

Skagway, Alaska

It definitely is like a second home. My heart is here. Last year I came here and made such a good connection. The mountains. The people. The air. The water. Everything. I love nature! And it sure has a lot of it. 

This summer I got the urge to get up and go back. Spontaneous? YES. I love it. I had the greatest few months in Wa and then I got to wrap up the summer in Ak. What more could I ask for? 

These past two months I had such a great time and made so many great connections. 

Again...I can say that I just love it here. No complaints.

So much love for new friends and of course the old! See you next year ;)

Going to Thailand!!

Ahhh today was a great day. I am in Alaska and decided that I am freaking going by myself to Thailand! Wanting to do the whole Southeast Asia trip in a little over a month. But get this. Tonight while buying my freaking ticket my besty Nicol said she wants to go!! So busted out her card and bought a ticket for two weeks there with me! Ahhhh. Then my other best Anna calls me from Washington and says she wants to come. Life is so good to me. So no I am not going solo. I am going with my bestest pals. Can. not. So get this. One week from now I will be flying back to Washington. Then like three weeks from then I will be in Thailand!! Ahhhh Can. not. WAIT!

SO HAPPY!

Makes you think..

Alaska. 

Love the place so much I was almost set on staying there for a few years. Spontaneous at its finest I guess you could say. I am so good at it. I even had a two year plan on paper haha. Wanting to take the parts clerk job (mechanics assistant), save money, snowmobile, board, learn how to ski, ice climb, take classes in Haines, and anything snow related really. I have so much to learn with in two years. With in two years I was sure I would be able to ride the Chilkats and be smart about doing it. In two years I was sure I would have taken the classes I needed to become a mountaineer guide. I was imagining myself accomplishing so much with in these two years. It sounded like a dream! The only cons was having to imagine myself pretty much being alone through the winter in a very small Alaskan town all alone... I know I could do it. Sad to say things did not work out. My upcoming trip to Asia with my best friend was at the top of my list. If they were able to work around it, I for sure would have stayed. *tear*

But what was so good about this whole thing was I really had to ask myself what goals I really have. 

Well lets just say I have a lot.

I have to chase my dreams.
