SJB, I spent the first five years of my life in Alaska, and that was before it was a state...! I lived on an island in the Gastineau Channel and at the age of five, I was taken to the high deserts of Utah, where I spent the next 12 years.
As a military wife, I’ve been all over the world, but I’ve lived in the desert since 1980, and will never be happy anywhere else!
The beauty of Alaska is amazing, but the cold would be too much for me.
