What a difference a month makes
There isn't any snow on the ground. The temps are light jacket weather only.
Oh wait, it wasn't a month that changed, it was our location.
We're in Arkansas now. We arrived February 15th. So far we've purchased two houses. What were we thinking?! One we'll live in, the other we'll rent. We can have possession of both houses on March 15th.
The price of gas is increasing to where there's not much difference between what we paid for it in Alaska. A gallon of milk is about the same price. Fruits and veggies are almost a steal in Arkansas. Other items are much cheaper, too. We've compared the prices on kitchen appliances that we owned in Alaska versus buying them here. Same size, same brand is running at least 50% cheaper here in Arkansas. Some things are running a third of the price we paid for them in Alaska.
We've met some extremely nice people here. We also left some extremely nice people in Alaska.
I start work on Monday. I think I'll really enjoy the job.
Until later...

Well now you are there you will have tornados and no moose. Perhaps you can find some other wildlife to make friends with.Is there other wildlife down there?
Did all your furniture etc., come down with you or is enroute being brought by the moose?

What a picture, furniture removal by moose, funny one Randi. I am so glad you are now settled in Arkansas Jody and that you are finding so many things cheaper, that will help for a while until you get used to it. New job already? What are you going to do? Are you in town or in the country where you live?
i hope you're settling into your chosen house now, Jody, and that the job is proving to be as congenial as you hoped.
