Yesterday, Lithus and I moved again. Luckily, this time it was just across the parking lot from one cabin to another, so we didn't have to pack as tightly as if we were flying but nonetheless ~ everything has to get packed up and moved. Which got us thinking about how many times we've had to pack up and move this summer. Starting in May...
1. Anchorage to Fairbanks apartment
2. Fairbanks apartment to Fairbanks hotel
3. Fairbanks hotel to Manley Hot Springs
4. Manley Hot Springs to Fairbanks hotel
5. Fairbanks hotel to Anchorage apartment
6. Anchorage to Portland
7. Portland to Nevada
8. Nevada to Sacramento
9. Sacramento to Tuscon
10. Tuscon to Alamagordo hotel one
11. Alamagordo hotel one to Alamagordo hotel two
12. Alamagordo hotel two to Tuscon
13. Tuscon to New Orleans hotel
14. New Orleans hotel to Sandpoint
15. Sandpoint to Priest Lake hotel, room one
16. Priest Lake, room one to Priest Lake, room two
17. Room two to New Orleans hotel
18. New Orleans hotel to New Orleans apartment
19. New Orleans apartment to Priest Lake hotel, room one
20. Priest Lake hotel, room one to Priest Lake cabin one
21. Priest Lake cabin one to Priest Lake cabin two.
Which brings us current. This doesn't include the numerous times we spent a night or two away from base, but didn't have to lug everything with us. We don't unpack often. This time, though, here in Priest Lake cabin two, we are scheduled to be here through October. That's six whole weeks. Possibly eight. We are saying radical things like "we might unpack" and "want to buy a Halloween decoration?" I know; we're getting crazy. Still...six whole weeks...
When I was six, my grandparents gave me a suitcase (blue with big, hot pink flowers). I kept it packed and stored in the closet, just in case there was an adventure and I needed to be ready. It took another 34 years, but I'm finally on the adventure. A published author, married to a helicopter pilot, life is fun, crazy, adventurous, challenging ~ but never dull.

Thanks for the recap. No wonder I was confused about where you were. Enjoy the six weeks!
