City life versus Alaska life
Drove adorable VW convertible beetle/Drove Subaru down a ravine
Dated dysfunctional comedians/Fell in love with a sweet-hearted carpenter
Learned how to program my TiVo/ Learned how to run a chainsaw
Avoided vicious office politics/ Avoid vicious hungry bears
Never left the house without makeup/ Hoping to take a shower this week
Favorite designer: Cynthia Rowley/ Favorite accessory: duct tape
Thought fifty degrees was a cold snap/ Would kill for fifty degrees
Kept a running tally of celebrities spotted/ Saw twenty moose the other day
Big project: organize shoe closet/Big project: dig a new outhouse
Awesome view of neighbor's driveway/Awesome view of Grewingk Glacier
Two actress/models for every guy/Two bearded eccentrics for every gal
Obsessed with losing weight/Hey, that extra fat layer's for survival
I could go on and on. So many things in my life have changed, but the only really important one is number two. My sweetie. I'd live anywhere with him, and I think I'm proving that on a daily basis. (See: outhouse.)
So yes, life in Alaska can be challenging, but when you wake up to this... 
...it's all worth it.

Yes, you captured it in a nutshell! Many of us live in the city of Anchorage and don't have to dig our own outhouses, but we still deal with the duct tape, moose and the gorgeous views. I wouldn't trade my Alaska life for anything.
Lynn, of course you're absolutely right, most Alaskans don't have outhouses ... I'm one of the lucky ones! LOL
But Alaska must be the only place where there are "Outhouse Races". !!
