Will you look out your window to find a Moose happily eating off your neighbors tree. No big deal. We’ve been here about two months now and never tire of seeing Moose outside our backyard gate, on the side of the road, and walking around the commissary parking lot. I’m sure I can think of more places, too. My record so far has been 4 Moose sightings in one day.

For the first month after we arrived, we would see only cows and occasionally their little ones. You gotta watch out for those ones though, they are protective of their little Mooselings. For the past two weeks, however, there have been more manly bulls roaming around with their growing antlers. While it’s quite obvious that you shouldn’t walk up to one and try to be it’s bff, they’re actually peaceful animals and don’t seem to get phased by 10+ cars pulled over on the street to take their picture. They pretty much mind their own business. And on days like today when I have somewhat of the Weather Blues and I look out my window to find a little fella grazing on the grass, it always makes me smile.

And yes, I just dedicated a blog post to Moose. Is it obvious that I’m in a bit of a writer’s block?

Ok, well maybe I’m a little ashamed. This was me a few days ago. For the majority of the day. Don’t act like you’ve never stayed in your pj’s all day! Right now I’m in sort of a “quiet before the storm” phase. I have all the free time in the world, but that will change in less than two weeks when Jimmy comes home and we pack up all our stuff to move! It’s crazy to think that in exactly a month we’ll be getting settled in to our new home in Alaska. Anyway, these days it’s really easy for me to get comfortable and relax, which I love, but I also need to discipline myself.

On this day, I was not disciplined. Let me go ahead and show you the lovely view I had from my bed…

All of that right there is freshly washed pillowcases, sheets, and clothes. Hey, at least they were clean. But all day as I Facebooked, read your blogs, and emailed, I heard the voice of my sweet husband in my head saying, “Baby, what about the clothes on the chair?” Yup, I’m notorious for it. After getting married, doing laundry and folding clothes quickly became something I loathed doing. So I procrastinate and leave it on the trusty chair in our room until I’m poked and prodded by my man.

I’m just being real with you guys! As much as I love going on adventures, being outdoors, and just spending time with my favorite people..there is nothing quite like staying comfortable in my Christmas pj’s from two years ago and cuddling up with some coffee. I am a bona fide homebody.
