Now that we have lived in Alaska for a full year, I thought it would be appropriate for me to share with you some of the things I have learned.
I HAVE LEARNED THAT...
Alaska is breathtakingly beautiful year-round
Seeing moose and bears in your yard never gets old
Studded tires and 4 wheel-drive are worth their weight in gold
60 degrees is still too chilly for me to wear shorts
The body's need for sunshine and Vitamin D is under-rated
Provided I'm indoors the majority of the time, I will not turn into a popsicle in freezing temperatures
Nose hairs freeze almost instantly when it's below zero
I can leave Chapstick in the car, even in the summer, and I don't have to worry about it melting
There are more hunting and fishing rules than I could ever pretend to know
Not all salmon are the same
Moose and caribou are delicious and they DO NOT taste like chicken
Although it is "dark" during the winter, there is still a period of sunlight everyday
The sun does actually go down at some point in every 24 hour period, even in the summer
In winter, the clearer the sky, the colder the temperatures
We would be broke if we didn't have Costco
We are broke becuase we have Costco
Our children can't get enough of the snow
I love to watch it snow
Our family will be forever enriched because we have had the opportunity to live in Alaska

I wish I had the opportunity to live there as an adult. It is fun as a kid, but I think you would appreciate a lot more as an adult, especially the beauty. After all if you choose to live in the snow it may as well be in a place as beautiful as Alaska.
