📣 A little PSA for anyone considering moving to Alaska—specifically the Mat-Su Valley!

I’ve received quite a few messages lately from people who are considering moving here—or have already purchased property—and are worried about having little to no access to basic amenities.

I think there’s a big misconception about what living in Alaska actually looks like, at least here in the Mat-Su Valley. 😂

We have access to pretty much everything you’d expect to have in the Lower 48.

We have major grocery stores, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Lowe’s, pharmacies, banks, gas stations, auto shops and dealerships, restaurants and fast food, coffee shops, gyms, salons, veterinarians, feed and farm stores, schools, libraries, doctors, dentists, urgent cares—and our own full-service hospital with a 24-hour ER and trauma care.

There are contractors, plumbers, electricians, well and septic companies, internet and cell providers, delivery services, government services…you name it.

Are there certain specialty medical services or stores that might require a trip into Anchorage? Sure. And Costco is in Anchorage. But that’s about an hour-ish drive for many of us in the Valley—not some inaccessible journey into civilization. 😂

Living in the Mat-Su Valley does NOT mean struggling to access groceries, healthcare, fuel, supplies or everyday services.

For everyday life, it’s honestly pretty comparable to living anywhere else in the Lower 48. We just happen to have mountains, moose, colder winters and snow hanging around for a good chunk of the year. 😉🏔️❄️

Of course, Alaska is HUGE, and truly remote communities are a completely different story. But if you’re looking at property around Wasilla, Palmer, Meadow Lakes, Knik-Fairview, the Knik-Goose Bay (KGB) area, Big Lake, Houston, Point MacKenzie or the surrounding Mat-Su area, please don’t picture yourself hours from groceries or medical care.

And please don’t let fear stop you from pursuing Alaska if this is where you feel called to be. Alaska living can sometimes be portrayed as though everyday life here is a constant hardship or everything is difficult to access. That simply isn’t the reality of living in the Mat-Su Valley.

Yes, Alaska has its challenges—but so does everywhere else. Do your research, know the area you’re moving to, prepare for the climate…and don’t let someone else’s portrayal of life here scare you away from something you’ve dreamed about. ❤️

We may live in Alaska…but we’re not living off the edge of the map. 😂❤️

I’ll be here all day everyday for your local reality check!😘 Tina-

Wedding day!!! 🥂 This was quite literally one of the most beautiful memories of our lives.🥹

All the work & preparation paid off BIG. It was perfect & magical. We’re so excited to share Lexxy & James’ wedding with you all.

She was stunning. Absolutely stunning. It’s so hard to believe our baby girl is married. Time is so fleeting.

James…welcome to the family! We love you both so much!🤍🤍

Thank you everyone for joining us for such a special day. Hope you enjoy the video, bring your tissues!😂🫶🏻 Tina-

A little behind-the-scenes sneak peek from the most magical day. 🥹🤍💍

We’re still soaking up every minute with our family & friends who came to Alaska to celebrate with us, but I couldn’t resist sharing a few photos from the wedding!

It was truly such a beautiful, magical night, and we’re SO excited to finally say…our daughter is MARRIED!! 😭🙌🏼

Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. James Owens! 🥂🤍

I have SO much footage to go through, but as soon as life settles down and I have time to edit, we cannot wait to share the wedding VLOG with y’all! For now, we’re staying present and enjoying this special time with everyone while they’re still here. 🤍

Here’s a little sneak peek until then…📸✨

Heyyyy YT fam! No video this week!❤️

We’re taking some much-needed time off to soak up time with our family & friends while they’re in town for Lexxy’s wedding! 🥹💍

We’ll miss y’all, but we’ll be back soon!

In the meantime, thought y’all might get a kick out of this little trip back to the ’80s with me & Joe.

That sweatband though…🤣
