The Fox Adventure

We made it!

We got into Anchorage Tuesday, June 21st. Unfortunately, we had to take Jethro and Eli straight to Arctic Tails – a pet boarder. There was a miscommunication and our pet-friendly temporary living facility (TLF) wasn’t available until Saturday, June 25th. Since it is tourist season in Anchorage finding a pet-friendly hotel for 4 nights was next to impossible (especially if we didn’t want to drop a grand). We were so heartbroken having to drop the pups off as soon as we reached our final destination. Our minds were put to ease when we met Arctic Tails staff and saw their facility – they are going to get 12 hours a play a day!

With the dogs in exceptional care, Andrew and I were onto our next mission – finding a house.

Andrew spent the following afternoon in-processing with his unit. The good news now is Andrew gets 10 days of free leave to find permanent housing. We hit the ground running, we met with our realtor, Jocelyn Foster on Wednesday night and she was able to show us three houses that night. The following day we saw over 15 houses! The LORD has shown his hand in this move since the very beginning and I know he is still at work, please pray with us that He continues to reveal himself through this house hunting process. We are both very anxious to get settled and unpacked. Right now we only have the items we physically bought up in the trailer – I did not bring enough clothes!

Eagle River Nature Center

After a week of many “to-do’s” Andrew and I decided to get the dogs out on a little hike this afternoon. We headed over to Eagle River Nature Center. Eagle River is about 15 miles north on the Glenn Highway. It has a small-town feel, even though it has a population of about 30,000. Eagle River is where Andrew and I have focused our house hunt.

We are both very excited to explore our new hometown. We will be camping with friends over the 4th of July Weekend in Denali National Park at Teklanika River Campground.
