    Oh my gosh I want to live this so bad! I would give anything to have your life! I’m 36, a single mom, domestic abusive survivor and live in the Midwest where it’s so hot. To live around gorgeous mountains, snow, and far better food along with the amazing winter weather would be a blessing! Thank you for sharing a part of your daily life…and that soup looked absolutely amazing!

      We are so sorry to hear about your domestic abuse and hope you are in a better position now. It is not easy to raise children on your own. Alaska is a wonderful place and a good place to heal for Craig from things he has seen from his deployments. Sending you lots of strength, love and peace from Alaska.

      @@blackandwhiteinalaska thank you for your kind words! Yes, it is very tough raising two children alone but they give me so much purpose and drive to keep pushing forward. My son is almost 14 and my daughter is almost 3 so quite the age gap but big brother is amazing help! We are definitely in a much better place emotionally as it’s been almost 2 years I finally got out of that relationship and sadly I put up with it for almost 15 years. I thank your husband for his service, fighting for our country and will keep him in my thoughts as I understand the impacts of PTSD from several friends suffering with it as well. Deployment is already difficult especially when you have a spouse and/or family but to witness awful things can absolutely stick with the mind. The beautiful environment out there in Alaska I’m sure is helpful in many ways! Much love from Missouri ❤️

      I guess we need to post them a little bit earlier for you, maybe around lunch time? 😂 Yes, we finally got the PO Box. I just picked up our first order. So much more convenient.

    I'm enjoying catching up on your videos on today, more importantly, I'm enjoying the opportunity to see beautifully presented delicious food items that makes me wish that I were your neighbor with an invite to a meal. 😅 I'm happy that your family is getting more minutes of Daylight and thriving along nicely. I enjoyed this segment and the opportunity to ride along, thank you! May your family continue to be blessed in all areas of your lives and may you all continue to be safe in the name of

    Great videos! Enjoy learning about life in AK. Also your stories. Craig cracks me up! A southerner, like my husband. Clash of cultures though, as I'm from CA and also lived in Germany & Austria. Love hearing your accent and German spoken. Ganz super das Du deine Sohnen Deutsch gelehert hast! (My German is rusty...hoffentlich hast du mir richtig verstanden.) I taught w DoDDS at Bitburg & Spangdahlem yrs ago. Now serve our Veterans at local VA Med Center.
    Would you share some recipes from you and Craig? Also yr story...where you're from, how you met...
    Thanks for the great content!
    P.S. Watching from NC.

      Thank you and welcome to our channel, Elizabeth! I can see the clash of cultures😊. I am super happy that our kids are still speaking German with me. Your German is great! We are more than happy to share some of our recipes. Thanks for all your questions!
      Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

    I’m considering moving to Fairbanks for a lateral police officer position. Have you had any interaction with the department that could offer insight

    • @blackandwhiteinalaska
      @blackandwhiteinalaska  Рік тому

      A person we know left for another department after a few months. Each experience is so unique and context-driven. Craig suggests researching thoroughly.
