Remember when...
...our bed was longer than our bodies?
...it would get dark outside?
...we had windows that would open?
...we picked out and bought groceries from the store instead of online?
...our walls were anything but wood paneling and old wallpaper?
...we woke up to something other than men's voices, house shaking, and construction?
...we didnt have to decide wether you were going to fly or catch a boat ride home?
...when we could call our friends and families after the kids were in bed? (what do you mean there is a 3 hour time difference?!)
I mentioned we were at a place where we can laugh about most of this, but I'm not always looking at the bright side of things. It helps that I have friends, with an outside look at things, willing to share their perspectives with me. This one particularly had me rolling and in tears! You may not get it, but I sooo do. It makes me happy so I am sharing it with you guys! Thank you friend for sharing just the right kind of humor with me when I needed it most :)
I saw the pics of the nifty trailer you'll be residing in. The post sounded kinda bummed about it so I thought I'd compile a list of fantastic things you may not have thought of. Here goes:
1.In the first picture: I believe if you look closely you'll spy a little red cup next to that blue tarp covered pile. This cup to me suggests that the blue tarp is not merely hiding a pile of dirt. No. Those little red cups are only found at parties. It only goes to reason that the pile of "dirt" is more likely a big pile of brownie crumble. Have you peeked under the tarp yet?
2.Also in the first picture: Thermometer by the front door? I've always wanted one of those but I'm concerned that there is no window in the front door. This means you'll have to open the door to actually go outside to see if the thermometer reads "If you're reading this you're probably mostly dead by now" or just "damn it's cold today". Could be a problem but still nifty.
4.The second picture: The sign could mean two things.

1. It's a little jab about you mainlanders coming up to AK and how funny you'll be trying to adapt. Just like the show "Northern Exposure".
2. They want you to flash your boobs as a morning greeting. Think what a nice greeting card that would make! Good morning! Shawing! That's the last time you'll see these! Door slam.
7. Arweeeeeeee picture: Oh sweet Lord is she cute. Just hug her when you're feeling down.
8. The bedroom picture: I love lamp. It's sweet. That closet looks nice and hugeish. The only unmentionables I could make out would be Arwen's diapers so your friends will not be offended. Lastly, that comforter looks uber fluffy and warm. Jealous.
9.Kitchen picture: Firstly, those chairs are eons better than ANY chair you've ever had in your kitchen. Two of them too! Nice. I love the sweeping effect of that little sink area. That cushy little mat by the sink is so super comfy. Open cabinetry? How very modern of you! I also see that there is a teeny tiny thermometer in the kitchen window. Solves all your problems. You can eat breakfast while you mull over whether or not you want to go stand outside and die in the bitter cold. I dunno. These eggs are pretty good this morning...nah. I'll go on to live just one more day. Is that tall plastic tube on the counter by the blue cups some sort of bong? Niiiiiiicccccceeeee...
10. Gav and Arwee bunk house: You brought the creepy ballerina doll...uh... Wood, wood, wood and more wood! I love it! Look! The bunnies are so smart! They've already figured out that playing with Legos is the ONLY way to go! Yay bunnies!!! Looks like Arwen has a super duper big secret hiding place under the bed. Bonus!! Her bedding is sooooo much nicer than mine...jealous.
11. Post office picture: Cute, cute, cute little post office. I like how the mailbox is right next to the trash barrel. Send your mail or throw it away! It may not make it anyways! Super thoughtful! Is the building just to the right and kinda behind it the church? The power lines above make such a nifty cross on top. Four handy burn barrels to dispose of your vanilla extract paraphernalia. Honest officer, it's for cooking. I didn't even inhale...much.
12. Playground picture: Playground? You have a playground? Right outside your door? Jealous. Very jealous. I don't even need to point out all the awesomeness.
13. School picture: That is by far the prettiest little school I've ever seen. Welp dear, I'm off to work this morning. Okay darling, have fun at Crayolatopia! Don't walk too fast though, speeding is a crime you know. I want to go there and I hate learning! Of course, Joe is a pompus ass which makes learning NOT fun. :) Alice'll make it fun for the kiddos though. We love you Alice B....wait...probably shouldn't make it THAT much fun.
14. Yukon picture: Oh, sorry. I was drooling. Soooooo gorgeous. Makes me want to move to AK. Just for the scenery, pretty trees and Crayola colored buildings. Plus you guys are there too. Bonus!
