Yes. We are packing, actually almost fully packed. A year ago today (11/5/25) we came to Edna Bay, and after what has felt like the longest year ever, we are planning to leave Alaska.
Now don't get us wrong Alaska is beautiful and we met some of the most good hearted people, who will forever be in our hearts. Bottom line our house isn't safe and if we lived in a city with housing officials our house would probably have been condemned. Due to the ongoing litigation and respect for the justice system, that's all we are at liberty to say about the house.
If the weather and tides, and all things in between cooperate we leave Edna Bay sometime next week.
Our family is devastated but not defeated. Farmers don't wallow is sadness or self destruct when things go awry. You get up, dust off your boots, and keep moving forward.
So, please don't be sad for us. The truth is, how many people get to say, they moved to Alaska, lived in her wilderness, completely offgrid for a year, and never skipped a beat? We do. We get to say that.. And that is what we take with us. Knowing we survived all that she threw at us and then some. 🫶
We are simply placing the safety and health of our family, FIRST. We have a very long journey ahead of us, and that's just to get to where one can leave Alaska. 😅 It'll be a few weeks before we can begin the second leg of that journey, (getting to Bellingham,WA).
Prayers, Patience, and Persistence is what brought us here and once again it's what we lean on to get us through.
We may be saying goodbye to Alaska soon, which is okay, for we will tell our story, once we are able to. For now we focus on family, faith, and far away lands once again.
