Ghetto-Fabulous

So the other day I was invited to attend a fund raising luncheon for the Arc of Anchorage. Seated at the table with me were three people who were LDS, one was a young lady who said she knew some people in her ward looking for a roommate. We exchanged numbers and WA-LA! I found a place to live in what they call "The Mormon Mansion". It is two bedrooms, I share with just one other girl who is also an return missionary. It is not the nicest place i've looked at, but I feel really great about my Ghetto-Fabulous place!

Things with Jed are great! Today we went to church then went on a walk around Lake Cheney across the road from the chapel. The picture above is from the walk. Sadly though, Jed is leaving to Fairbanks on Wednesday to work for the summer. He works in Anchorage during the winter months. Jed is a mechanic on a train for the rail cars owned by the Royal Celebrity Tours. So he goes to Fairbanks during the tourist season. We will see each other on the weekends, when we can. A six hour drive is still better than being in Utah while he is here in Alaska! I am having so much fun here and with him!!

  1. may I be the first to congratulate you on your Ghetto Fab place! It is quite a big room from the looks of it so I'd say it is nicer than most of what Alaska has to offer. And hey, it has to be better than my couch with 3 wild children!

  2. Love the place! So glad you have somewhere of your own to live! I would maybe think about investing in a new mattress, though!

  4. I am glad you found a place. With a little TLC it will feel like home before you know it. I am glad you are doing so well. You are missing out on all of Utah's Hot Weather we are having. hope to hear from you soon. P.S. Don't let the bed bugs bite!!!!
