I knew from day one, when he said we should be Alaskan roommates, that I should do this crazy thing. We were just friends at the time, however something about his village life spoke to me. I could see myself in Alaska. It just felt right.
A week later we decided to just be crazy and take this huge chance. He put in for housing for us, and we made plans for me to move in August 2014. No one in my family knows I am going to do this crazy thing. I am afraid to tell them I am moving four plane rides away from them, leaving normal civilization, and living with a man they have not met. Wish me luck! Soon I need to break the news to them.
