Surprise!





Well, we have some big news. We are moving this summer! Our blog title will not be descriptive of us anymore, as we will be living in Washington. We are 99% sure we will live in Port Angeles or the nearby area. We are very excited. We really do love Alaska and hope to transfer back here someday. Ryan is in the Coast Guard for the long run (retirement), so we will be stationed in at least three more locations after this move. We are up for some adventure!




So, Port Angeles...where is that? It is on the Olympic peninsula in Washington. Port Angeles (PA), is the town at the entrance of Olympic National Park. Lots of green, mountains, ocean, snow and all of that stuff we love. From what I have read there will be opportunities for skiing, bikeriding, hiking, kayaking, fishing and other activities that we have enjoyed here. PA is is approximately 2 1/2 hours drive from Seattle. There is also a short ferry ride over to Victoria, Canada. Pretty rural, which we like. I can't wait to go!


I am not sure what I will do career-wise. Teaching is not my passion by any means. I enjoy most of the children and love science, but I may take this opportunity to explore some career options I have long dreamed of. More on that later :)
