Sometimes during times of change and struggle I have trouble keeping things in perspective. I know this isn’t a struggle specific to me…it’s something many people struggle with from time to time.
Over the past few weeks, as my life has changed at a rapid pace, I’ve sometimes had trouble seeing the forest through the trees… [...]

When I moved to Dallas just over three weeks ago I needed to find three things.
A Job – Done
An Apartment
A Car
So…this weekend I decided that I would find an apartment. In the past this process has painstakingly taken me WEEKS. I take measurements and pictures. I make detailed maps and spreadsheets with graphs and such.
This [...]

Did I sound a little down when I posted earlier this week?
Well…I was.
And in a way, I still am.
But less so, and at this point, I consider that a victory.
The past two days have been great. And I’m looking forward to a busy weekend with friends and family.
Is work still hard? Sure. Are there things [...]

I hesitate to use this blog as a place where I share the “stinky parts” of what is going on in my life right now. First, I don’t want to come across as whiney or ungrateful. Second, whining and crying to excess is annoying and nobody enjoys reading depressing dribble.
But here it is.
This week has [...]

Hmmm…Seems like I need to catch you up…
I arrived in Dallas on Saturday, September 5th. The flights from Anchorage to DFW were uneventful except for a slight delay that made for a rather entertaining mad dash through the Seattle airport. I was greeted at the airport by two really special people and promptly made my way [...]

I had dinner last night with a fellow Alaskan short-timer. We talked for a brief moment about how different this place is. And really…there was only one word we could find to describe this place.
It’s just so…Alaskan.
I mean…duh.
But it’s true. This place is different. Special. Hard. Cold. And until you have been here, it’s so [...]

Have I ever introduced you to my friend Marijke?
Let me tell you a few things about her. She is kind. And good. And a musician. And loving. And, she has pretty great hair. All things I love in a friend.
In all seriousness…my time in Anchorage would not have been the same without her. She is [...]

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about what I want out of a relationship. I won’t go into the gory details…but my (lack of) a love life has been what one might call tumultuous recently. And even better, I brought much of this drama upon myself. Those of you that have known me for a [...]

Me… “I need a distraction.”
Her… “You do…you really do.”
Me… “I prefer my distractions to be tall, dark, and handsome.”
Her… “Indeed.”

A few weeks ago I went on a super-fun camping trip with a friend. We drove, we camped, we made fire…it was four days of wild Alaskan goodness.
And on the fourth day we returned home to my sister’s house. (We were staying at the sister’s house due to my current lack of…a house.)
We unpacked the [...]
