1. The trees are flocked by nature... 100% snow covered
2. The moose wander right into the middle of town, where you can take pictures of them, if you want to look touristy
3. The scenery is breath-taking... and so is the subzero temperatures
4. Everyone is down to earth and welcoming... and they also all know your name, which is pretty surprising because you were under the impression that your boyfriend didn't talk about you all that much, though it's nice to know that he does
5. People live in actual log cabins... which coincidentally will be an addition to everyone's christmas list next year
6. Both Caribou and Moose are on the menu and you can receive your own moose meat free of charge the next time someone runs one over if you are signed up on the Road Kill list... and no, I'm not making that up.
7. You can see Russia from your house... actually that's not true... also, no one knows Sarah personally, but people do go to Wasilla rather frequently for bizarre reasons, like Wasilla's Rock Fest
8. People leave their cars running in the parking lot, with no one in it, and the keys in the ignition... and they DON'T get stolen... of course if they didn't leave them running, their cars probably wouldn't start, stupid subzero temperatures
9. Daylight only lasts for six hours which turns out is not very depressing after all... it just makes you a little sleepy...
10. Everyone has a "I survived an encounter with a grizzly bear" story, and they are very entertaining... you would sit and listen too...
Beyond that... I'm pretty sure I've fallen in love with the last frontier... I think I'll move here... oh wait! I am! This Summer!!! Yay me!!! Oh and did I mention that being in the same air space as my boyfriend is without a doubt one of the coolest things that has ever happened to me? It's amazing what a long distance relationship will make you appreciate. For example, we just went on our second date... after five months of dating. And the first one was less than a week ago. Weird.
