Tammy Jones

Hey readers,
I'm a down to earth person who married a dreamer. It happens to a lot of us, I have learned. Tom, much like my father, dreamed every day about making it to Alaska one day.

I grew up in a small town in Washington state, raised three great kids along with a lot of animals as well as a garden. I never imagined moving from my small town, but now looking back on the last 10 years, I have definitely learned to never say never...one could miss out on some amazing experiences.

As the story explains, we ended up making it to the Last Frontier and through many trials and tribulations, we built a cabin in the wilderness. Turns out, the journey to Alaska became the experience of a lifetime. Once we arrived back home I decided I should try to

Ann Parker

Ann Parker was born in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Her younger years were spent in Carrizozo, New Mexico, trying to keep up with her two older siblings, Carrie and Wayland. They told her she could only tag along “if she could keep up.” Her fear of being left out created a strong determination in her formative years. That drive equipped her to keep pace with her siblings, who were six and seven years her senior. She also spent time bossing around her younger brother, Patrick. Her mother remembers Ann, just a kindergartener, instructing two-year-old Patrick to recite the pledge of allegiance. Patrick definitely had a hand in developing Ann’s love for teaching.
Ann’s family moved to a small West Texas town, Sonora, when she was just ten years old.
