I can’t believe we live here is the phrase we use each day; perhaps it’s getting old? I’ll try a different way…

I never knew I’d live a life that allowed me sneak away with my husband in the Sunday afternoon sun to celebrate the Winter King Salmon Derby. The winning fish weighed 27.3lb, caught by a child. I ran into friends, who introduced me to new people. I shared Red Vines out of my purse. I held my husband’s hand and smiled into the sun and stayed warm, because I’d brought enough layers, because I’m finally getting the hang of living in Alaska.

I can’t believe we live here.
