We made it!

WE made it!!! The wonderful family we are renting from invited us for dinner for our first night into Alaska. They also invited us to stay either at their abode or our new house for the evening. They didn't even know us and they were willing to open their home for us to stay. I can't tell you how welcomed to this (very far away from home) state we felt. They then filled a bag full of goodies for us since the "fridge was empty" and welcomed us again!! They said that someone had done that for them when they first came here and they were so thankful. They just asked us to pass it on. What an amazing welcome so far from home!!!! Thank you God for such a wonderful beginning!! :)
We pulled into our new abode at about 915 pm and Mike (a friend that we had known from the 280th :)) Pulled up to welcome us and help us unload our trailer!! Since it was light out, we unloaded that and the jeep in almost no time. I think it was about midnight when the sun was about to go down..and we realized what time it was.
The house is beautiful!! We feel like we are in a cabin somewhere on vacation. The rustic wood house is pretty ah-mazing!! Pictures are on their way...but we just wanted to say thank you very, very much to everyone for all their support through this transition. We are so thankful for EVERYONE who helped us and are forever grateful for your love and friendship!!!! We can't wait for you to visit!!! I will update on the days following soon!!! :)
