What happens when you swap Texas heat for Alaska’s chill? Let’s find out! Meet my son-in-law, Andrew Orosco, a determined 21-year-old native Texan who made the bold move to Alaska with my daughter and their two little ones—just 18 months and 2 months old.

 

Leaving behind the familiar for the rugged frontier, he’s diving into welding school with grit and purpose. The transition has been wild, from acclimating to much colder temperatures to learning how to drive on snow. Together, we’re building something bigger than ourselves—living multi-generationally on our family compound, rooted in faith, hard work, and the wild beauty of Alaska.
