You're moving where?!

This whole summer I've really enjoyed answering the question "Now that you've graduated, what happens next year?" I love seeing people's reactions when I respond, "I'm doing a year of service with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps...in Bethel, Alaska." After I tell people where Bethel is, they have been enthusiastic, surprised, and some think I am downright crazy. However, (almost) everyone has asked me to keep them updated on my life up in Bethel. Now that I am 2 weeks out from move day I decided to get this blog up and running so that you all can check in for updates about life on the tundra at your leisure.

I'm going to do my best to update this regularly with stories, pictures, and fun Alaskan facts. Hopefully you will enjoy and it will be a good way to keep in touch!
