Well it’s been awhile since we put an update on the site so this will be a long one. Back in September we bought a dairy goat named Valeska and two pups named Denali and Kenai. We will have pictures in the photo section shortly. A couple weeks later Noah got word that he would be deploying soon. In December we flew to Virginia to visit Noah’s family for Christmas and then drove to New York to visit Carina’s over New Years. From February 2nd to March 8th Noah’s brother Andrew came to visit us. Unfortunately while he was visiting Noah was also tasked for some training at Ft Gordon Georgia. When Noah got back he had about 4 days to finish his out-processing to go on to Ft Bliss Texas for some additional training. On March 20th Valeska had three kids, two boys and a girl. For now they will all stay at a friend’s house until Noah gets back. Pictures of the kids will be in the photo section as well. That is all for now, more to come soon.

During Labor Day weekend we went to the annual Hot Air Balloon Classic. It was neat to see how the hot air balloons are prepped before they lift off the ground!

We added another critter to the family. We adopted a main coon cat named Cruiser who is supposed to be a good mouser. However, we discovered that Cruiser is better at catching flies/bugs than he is mice!

We visited with Carina’s Uncle Gene and family in Helena, Montana. Her uncle took us sapphire mining which was hard work, but we found a 1 carat cut able sapphire so it was worth it! We also went to Butte, Montana to see the Berkley Pit. Yellowstone National Park was very interesting! We were able to see Old Faithful erupt and went to Yellowstone Bear World in Rexburg, ID. At the Yellowstone Bear World we were able to drive through the park and there were bears wondering around the car! We also were able to feed some of the bears on a curator ride through the park. It was a blast, except for the long drive from our RV site.

Today we visited the east side of Glacier National Park in Montana. We plan to drive to the west side tomorrow we have been taking tons of pictures which I will post on the site soon.

Now we are in Banff National Park in Canada. Today we drove out to Lake Lousie and saw sheep and caribou. Tomorrow we are going on a wildlife safari bus ride through the park and maybe horse back ridding. Then we will be on the road for Glacier National Park in Montana.

We made it to Fort Nelson Canada today. Today was a very mountainous ride. We saw several stone sheep and a couple moose and buffalo. Today was the prettiest part of the trip so far.

Today we finished up all of our out processing at Elmendorf and hit the road. Off to a late start, we drove from Anchorage to Tok, Alaska. We encountered a few glitches along the way, but we made it here safely. There were a few spots under construction that delayed us a little bit. Tomorrow we should be in Canada. We plan to visit the Edmonton Mall and Banff National Park along the way. We are going to take it easy only driving about 300 miles a day and taking our time to get to Colorado

Well The Movers came today and packed up all of our things. We are now living in the RV and in the process of cleaning the house. We have to get the house ready for the housing inspection. We have been under a lot of pressure with the move so this is a good point to relax a little. We will be driving out on the 30th and still can’t wait to get on the road.

Carina and I have our orders and are definitely going to Schriever AFB in Colorado. Both of us are very eager to get on the road, it should be an awesome trip. We are also looking forward to buying a house when we get there.
