WE MADE IT!!!!
Yes, I know it’s been awhile since I’ve blogged…and I am truly sorry!!!! While we were in Homer, Alaska, the Internet connection was horrible and I could barely check regular e-mail. Which by the way, Homer is a quaint fishing town. There’s not much else to do there but fish and it’s absolutely beautiful as well!
But we did arrive on Kodiak Island Monday, July 14th. The ferry was pretty good. I could feel the waves around 3 a.m. and was thankful I took some Dramamine to ease my stomach. Thankfully, the weather and seas were pretty good. We were welcomed on the island by some friends whose daughter held up a cute sign for us! It was great!!!! And it was actually sunny when we got off the ferry…how thankful were we?!
But for the past few days, we’ve been house hunting, checking in with medical, finding the Wal-Mart and other places Kodiak has to offer. It looks like we will enjoy it here even though we are stuck on an island. There’s plenty of places to fish, hike, kayak and explore. I am looking forward to getting out there and taking my boys for a hike and catching tons of fish!!! Fish on!
So hopefully, you’ll keep reading as I experience Kodiak, Alaska and I thank you so very much for coming along with me and my family as we journeyed across America. I hope you enjoyed reading and I enjoyed writing as well. Thank you for your support!!!

So glad to hear to arrived safe and sound. Hope you soon find the perfect new home there on Kodiak. Enjoy everything. Take lots of pictures. Keep writing this blog. And, thank you for your service to our Country. You both are appreciated. Tell the boys that Grandma says ‘Hi’ — and ask them to let me know when they see a bear. : - ) And — good luck fishing! love — mom
