Exploring Anchorage

Today I went to my first Alaskan Yoga class.  It wasn't too different from Colorado yoga classes, but in my mind if I add "Alaskan" to everything, it sounds cooler...  Don't you think??  :)  Anyway, I went to Anchorage Yoga studio.  (I actually really miss Core Power yoga in Colorado--where I practiced for over 3 years-- but I am excited that there is a yoga studio here that is similar.  One of the instructors I met today did her teacher training at Core Power in Ft. Collins, Colorado, so I am sure I will be just fine.

Adjusting.  That's what yoga life is all about.

This is the studio:

We went to 5th Avenue Mall this afternoon.  Luke had to get some business casual clothes for work.  The mall isn't very big, but it's very tall!  And they have a Nordstrom which I am extremely happy about.

Yay for Nordstrom!  The mall is kind of funny shaped...it's on both sides of the road...  

And from the mall you can see downtown Anchorage...

What do you mean it's not as big as you though it would be??   :)

And the cold continues...  Especially in Eagle River-where we are buying a house.

Speaking of buying a house...we are having a hard time finding joy in the process...  We will be so excited/relieved to finally have all the papers signed and a place to call our own before Luke starts work on Monday.  It seems like there are so many hurdles and things to do, and we just want it to be over...yesterday.  I don't know why I'm complaining...Luke has done almost everything...I just don't want him to have to worry about it anymore.  (Give the man some peace of mind already!!!)

Ok.  Now I'm done.
