I finally have settled into Anchorage enough to start posting to this blog.
I am now living right near the Valley of the Moon Park and the community gardens right by the Chester Creek Trail. Anchorage has a great municipal trail system. The Chester Creek Trail runs east/west through town and separates downtown from midtown. We live on the midtown side. The trail hooks up with the Coastal Trail near Westchester Lagoon. The Coastal Trail runs north/south. The northern end runs right past the court house. That means that we can bike to work on a trail that runs through parks and by Cook Inlet.
I share my house with Callie and Lila, two women that I went to law school with who are also clerking in Anchorage. We carpool to work and occasionally cook dinner together. It's nice to live with people that I'm already friends with. It has definitely made the transition to Anchorage much easier.
Anyhow, it's getting a bit late and I have work tomorrow, so I'll keep this short. It's a bit of a transition back to the working lifestyle. I do miss school.

Here's a link to my pictures from the drive up:

And here's a link to my pictures of our house. This is before we scored our couches (which we have names Lumpy and Bumpy) and kitchen table.

Hey Jack- it was great seeing you again @ Gene/Jann's shindig. The picts you took look awesome. Now i know why you wanted to go to AK! Hopefully you won't get cabin fever and end up eating your roommates and start paintballing moose in the dead of winter. Be safe and hope to see you soon, --Cheston
You're a lumberjack, and that's OK.
Glad you made it up there w/o incident or fighting a grizzly with your bare hands. I hope you know that now that I've returned from my England/Croatia trip, I'm ready to start planning the Alaska one. For summer, of course.
