A decade at Fortos’ Fort

It is hard to believe that it has been a decade. On July 4, 2010 my daughter, Nicole and I arrived in Alaska and it changed our family’s lives forever. We saw this little house as a possibility to make so many dreams come true. So much has changed over the last ten years. So many ups and downs, so many memories, so much life lived.

On that day I left the decision to buy this house in the hands of a 12 year old little girl on a rainy, foggy day. I wouldn’t change it for the world.

Our house has become a home that we affectionately call Fortos’ Fort.

Here is a before and after photos of what it looks like then and now.
