See you later Anchorage

Good-bye Anchorage

My Alaska airlines flight to Seattle

Janna and I at the airport

This sign always made me smile. Anchorage - my home.

Today was a very, very sad day. Eric and I decided to move back to Utah. I have been staying with my friend Janna for the past 2 weeks. I have cried my self to sleep every night. I finally felt that I had found my true happiness in Alaska. I loved who I had become, and I am dreading moving back to Utah. It's hard to write how I feel, but I know that I have changed because I moved to Alaska. I am not looking forward to starting a life in Utah. Utah is nice, but is very boring. People there don't really understand how to survive. They are more worried about what kind of car they drive, or if they have the newest jeans. It's very disgusting. What's worse, is that I am moving to Utah County. That is because people are so worried about keeping up with the jones's, instead of being happy with who they are.

I have so many friends in Alaska, and I have no one in Utah...... I don't want to go.... I tried to be strong in front of my friends, but as soon as I got on the plane, the tears just would not stop. I never thought I would find myself in Alaska, and now a part of me has died. I don't know if I will ever feel how I did in Alaska. I am just grateful for all of my experiences in Alaska and my amazing friends. They taught me how to be happy with myself, and accepted me for who I am, flaws and all.
