From Alaska
Dear Emily,
I finally stopped traveling and built a home. Please excuse me from the way I left the last time I saw you. Your plans just weren't working for me. Darly and I are living in Alaska and are working full-time. I should be getting a promotion soon at the hardware store to assistant manager. Along our journey through Canada we meet many different people. I must tell you that I've learned that many of my past choices have resulted in failure but now thats all behind me. Darly and I are no longer running around and its nice to have a home where someone cares about me. Before I thought it was alright to just get up and leave when things got difficult. But here in Alaska things are different. This place feels right to me, I've never had this since of security about my ideas before. You, Rich and the kids are all well. Please write me soon, I would love to hear from you.
Love,
Marianne
