The past few weeks have been busy, busy, busy. I can't believe that just two weeks ago I was in Salt Lake City, graduating. And just to prove that I did it......
Can you see that it's me??
After graduation we (read entire family) furiously packed my apartment (and I must say thanks to Grandma and Grandpa who have moved a million times and are packing pros, we never could have done it without them), and my mom and I embarked on a 3000 mile journey through Edmonton and up to Anchorage.
Edmonton is great, I'm glad we took the time to visit. The building that I will be spending most of my time in is huge, and it's bright yellow. I guess it's supposed to keep me happy in the winter. But I got the feeling that the people that I am going to be working with and the work that I will be doing will keep me happy anyways.
After 2 days in Edmonton my mom and I packed into my car again and headed off for the second half of the drive, which was by far the most beautiful but also the more tiring part of the trip.
Our trusty steed and my wonderful co-pilot:
The scenery was beautiful, and I'm not going to do it justice by putting in any pictures here, you'll just have to do the drive yourself. But we did see lots of fun wild life. I think the final list came to bison, moose, caribou, deer, black bears, elk, dall sheep, stone sheep, a wolf, a fox, and a few showshoe hares.
I've been home for a week now and my most exciting thing that I have been doing is looking for a job. I've never had to really apply for a job like this before, and its really pretty of frustrating. I've turned in a bunch of applications, for both fun jobs and jobs that are actually in my field, and now I get to sit around and wait for them to call. But don't worry, I'm not just twiddling my thumbs.
It's not blocked yet, but I can't wait to wear it! Yeah for Alaskan summers that are cool enough to wear scarves!!!
So what do you think? Will I survive as a blogger.....stay tuned!

Love the blog, Cait! And the scarf turned out fabulous. 3,000 miles -- that's a lot of knitting time.
A blog Cait! Now we'll never email, just check in on each other's blogs... Great scarf, I'm impressed.
Yay! Welcome to blogland! And congratulations on graduating! Aren't you so happy to be done!? Your branching out looks lovely, and that's great that you won't have to wear it! We'll miss you down here, but I'm so happy you have a blog where we can keep track of you!
Hei på deg! Tenkte jeg kunne skrive på norsk:) Det blir gøy å henge samme i Alaska igjen. Du må vise meg hvordan å lage en "blog", jeg har fått en brukernavn. Hilsen fra Cha Cha.
