Mental Exhaustion
If he gets this ACS program, then we think our plan will be to stay in Hawaii and Leevi will go to UH or one of the private colleges here. Technically we could go anywhere we want, but finanically our best option is to stay put. If he doesn't get picked for ACS, then we will go to Germany this summer. Either way we are excited! I'll keep you updated!

- In Hawaii: flip flops are called "slippahs"
- In Alaska: their snow/fur boots is called a "Mukluk"

Other things I've found out...
Moose Nuggets is moose poop!!! And apparently is EVERYWHERE and they even sell it as novelty gifts (earrings, ornaments, paper weights!) Ha! Guess what everyone will be getting for Christmas next year?! :)
Termination Dust is the first snow of the year which sends everyone into a panic and provokes a huge shopping spree to hunker down for the winter! Ughh!!!
Artic Entry is a concept of a mud room where you can declothe and leave all your soppy snow gear before you enter the main part of the house. It will be nice if our place has one considering a certain 2 yr old and 4 yr old will probably be playing in the snow everyday! :)
Most houses have heated garages or heater plugs to plug your car grill in to keep it from freezing
On a U.S. map, Alaska is always cut and pasted (just like Hawaii) so it can fit. When you put it where is belongs, it's crazy to realize how far away it really is! But, thankfully for us, it is directly North of Hawaii, so our flight there to move is non-stop and only about 6 hours!
