Hi Everyone!
I'm so happy to hear your Extern stories and glad we're connecting on the blog! Well, I'm in ALASKA. My dad started driving my jetta up with everything I could pack into it on June 14th. He picked up his brother from his flight in Seattle and they continued to make the long journey together. Meanwhile, I was spending time with my mom, grandparents, boyfriend, and puppies :) The first part of the trip was fun, they did a lot of site-seeing, but the second half was just road and trees until Anchorage. They saw bison, goats, buffalo, moose, and every kind of bear! Including a grizzly enjoying the intestines of a dead bison, yuck. And they took the risk of stopping a taking a picture of a nearby grizzly and her cub, yikes! They arrived in Anchorage on June 19th and started searching for apartments for me. Let me tell ya, it was SCARY!! Everything is ridiculously expensive here and nobody seems to want to take care of their apartments, hmmmm. We were in a pickle. Not only that, but we had banked on a furnished place and couldn't seem to find any. Which was probably a good thing because I can only imagine how disgusting the furniture would be. We were about to put down a deposit for a shabby place close to the hospital, when we tried a phone call to one more place. It turned out that this was one of the places Sarah from DMS was looking into as well. I went and checked it out and it is AMAZING!! Beautiful leather furniture, a new kitchen, flat screen tv, cable, wireless internet, all utilities included, and a maid comes in every 2 weeks to clean! So, I'll be living with Sarah in this two bedroom castle and I'm very happy :) We meet with the lady today to finalize it! Since then, we've been exploring The Last Frontier, and it's been fun. Yesterday I saw a Moose and her Calf for the first time! It was really cool. Anchorage is WAY bigger than Klamath Falls and has tons to offer. The city itself is the size of the state of Delaware! Anyway, I move in to my new apartment on Thursday night and I start work at the gorgeous Providence Medical Center on July 6th. Wish me luck!

I am so glad you found a place! I had that same problem here with people taking care of their houses! It sucks when you think that you might have to live in a dump. Sounds like your digs are going to be sweet, and I LOVE the maid set up! Good Luck to you, and stay away from them mooses :)
