Difficult Times

This has probabally been the hardest month of my life. Alaska has been very difficult!! It is hard to adjust to living with people. I have already known that, but I have seen it play out more true than ever! When we got here and up to now, things have not gone the way Erin and I have expected. In fact nothing has really gone right. There were a lot of things that were told to us that would happen when we got here that hasn't happened yet. We were under the impression that we would have a car when we got here and that didn't happen so it was difficult to get around and to get a job. I got a job yesterday at Sams Club working as a photo technician. I am very excited about that. Erin still doesn't have a job. We bought a car for 350.00 at an impound auction. Well as things go usually for me and Erin both, it is needless to say that the car is parked now at the Old Navy Parking lot. It is not running great so that is a little frustrating. I know nothing is random, and I am glad to be here for what I have learned about myself already but it has been really hard. I have been hurt by my "friends" everyday. Like I said, It is just hard to adjust!!! We are all going to Anchorage this weekend for the holiday, so I am very excited about that!! It will be the first time in a month that Erin and I will be sleeping in a bed :) Right now we are on cots; another one of those things that we thought would be worked out for us!! Anyway, some good things are that I am here with people I know and Erin!! It is good to be with someone who supports and accepts you no matter what. The no darkness is amazing. I love all the sunlight and I am usually awake to see the sunset at about 12:30 is AM. Yeah that is right I said AM!!!! It is incredible. We got internet today so I plan to update more. Here are some more pics I have taken recently

Trent "fishing" for bunnies :)
