We were hoping to find a place to live this weekend, but still no luck. It seems as though all the housing has been snatched up as the military came back into town. We went to look at a place tonight after work that looked like it had potential but it was a huge flop. With 3 cats running around my eyes were itching, my nose was running, and I was sneezing before even walking in the door. It is kinda frustrating that we can't get a decent rental for less than $1500 and THEN we still have to pay heat or electric. I was dead set on not paying a penny over $1200 (and I thought THAT was steep) but it seems that there is nothing out there in decent shape in that price range, or at least we just haven't found it yet (thats my encouraging side coming out). Back home we could buy a nice house for that kind of money. Praying the Lord blesses us with the right place...in the hills wouldn't be so bad, with a deck and a view of the gorgeous mountains toward Denali...is that to much to ask ;)

This is another place we found to explore this weekend with tons of trails. It's called Birch Hill Recreation and is used for cross country skiing in the winter, but also has a pretty good Disc Golf Course for spring/summer time fun. They were having some kind of festival the day we were there exploring.
