    ✨It was just yesterday that Ryland was upstairs at the new house and Bert was grilling him about his intentions for Emily and now moving to Alaska with two babies and one happy family. That's great! ✨

    AWANA!!! My dad was the Commander of the Awana program at our church, Calvary Baptist, for 8-10 years. He loved the kids! I went through all the books, the elementary and high school. I received a Timothy Award for that. I started when I was in the 3ed grade. My dad was saved because I rode the bus to Awana, church, and Sunday school.
    My dad started driving a bus and, later, was over the bus and AWANA programs.
    When I had finished the 9th grade, that was as far as our program went, I became a leader and game leader.
    I really enjoyed working with kids. After all these years, I still remember the CHUMS and GUARDS songs. Lol

    As a life long Alaskan, another tip for those thinking about moving here, research the area of Alaska you want to move to. Interior (Fairbanks area) is much different then southcentral (where I live) or southeast Alaska. Weather, landscape, accessibility unique to each area.

    When moving in the past community has been a major priority. A recommendation I would give to anyone moving with kids is have a plan. Especially considering school and childcare. It’s very different depending on the state and location. Also if you move make sure you register to vote where you live.
    Thank you all for sharing your life.
    From: Happy people in North Carolina.

  • @hollylanevintagetreasures

    Oh yeah, I remember the Awana days. I was part of it for a small time as a kid, then later I helped my mom with the Cubbies. We were also part of the Patch the Pirate Club. Anyone remember that or was apart if it? We wore white sailor caps and had to wear a bandana or something because I remember I had to learn how to tie a square knot.

They are still so close, even thought they are teens now and when they are together it's impossible to get a word in.

    Please pray for my husband and I. We have been trying for a baby for 8 years now. I turn 40 in a few months. I know that God is in control and as much as I want to be a mumma, I know that His plan for our lives is perfect.
