New addition : )

I got my belly button pierced! I had been wanting to get a new addition but hadn't decided what, so the navel it is! Watch the video below to see the whole process. Natalie very sneaky filmed the whole thing and you can kind of see my reaction. Song: Steller by Incubus

Final results!

It was painful for about a minute, now I can hardly tell its there. I love it! : )

Hockey! Fairbanks Vs Anchorage

The UAF game of the year versus Anchorage. The rink was packed and Madey and I sat in the balcony of the student section. The game got started and not even 30 seconds into the first period Anchorage scored on us. The whole first period seemed like a joke, mini fights were breaking out and no one was scoring or skating properly. I had lost hope that we would even score. The second period we finally scored! The score was 1to 1 with seconds left in the 2nd period with a few almost shots. The 3rd period had begun and within minutes the Nanooks scored! The game was becoming more and more exhilarating when the team scored another shot! Then another! and finally with seconds left in the last period 4 to 1 the Nanook scored to end the game at an exciting 5 to 1 against Anchorage.

It was an awesome game to be apart of. The students and the other spectators really make it fun. : )

make it...snow

Me and madison were waiting on the windshield to de-frost and it was taking too long so I pulled out a random card to scrape the ice off with and POOF* we made snow. : )

Wendy is out of town so its just me and madison this week. And poor madison didn't have school monday and tuesday so she had to tag along with me on one of my busiest school days of the week. Thank god i got out of almost all my classes early that day.
Also with Wendy not in town I had to attend a back to school night for madison. I felt like a mom! omg. She showed me around her class room and gave me a tour of her cubby, art drawer and assignments she had completed in class. So that was my first experience with that, I can't remember the last time I even had a back to school night...maybe 7th grade...7 years ago! wow.

Somethings I miss in California:
My family (brandon, sarah, baby sofia, my mom and dad)
My friends. you know who you are ; )
My kitteh Little leo I miss him so much. Does this make me a cat lady?

Little leo as a kitten! so cute. He's much bigger now lol fatty. : )
I also miss:
WARMTH! i'm about ready to thaw out now, can't wait for hawaii! 17 days and counting! : )

Things madison says.

Me: "She looks like paris hilton"
Madie: "Who's paris hilton? Is she that lady who ran for president?"

-

Madie: "Could a wholly mammoth get constipated?"
Me: "I really don't know....I guess they could"
Madie: "Why?"
Me: "....."

-

Madie: "We made planets today in school. Not real ones"
Me: "I didn't even think that was possible but thanks for clearing that up"

-

Madie: " I hate the sun. Its too bright!"
Me: "Then you're in the right place" (alaska)

-

Picking madie up from school
Madie: "This is a school, you don't just come up to it and pick up your kids"
Me: "Really?! what do I do then?"


More to be added I'm sure.

Fun times.

This past weekend, with regard to the load of homework I had to somehow breeze through, was extremely fun. Friday got started with an Ice Dogs hockey game that wasn't as full of fights as i was hoping for. Thats the only reason I go to those games, the UAF team is not allowed to fight due to their fragile scholarships. The Ice digs however are not only allowed to fight but it seems they are encouraged.

Me and Natalie decided to make valentines day cupcakes on saturday but while waiting on an ingredient we decided to go bowling! My first roll was a strike! beginners luck for sure! lol Im not much of a bowler myself.

nice face natalie! lol We did pretty good. A group of friends and her boyfriend Tim bowled with us. After a game we headed back to make those cupcakes! I used my secret carrot cake recipe to make mini cakes with cream cheese frosting that we dyed red for valentines day : )
They turned out perfect despite our ghetto set up of kitchen utensils. which was missing a large mixing bowl and mixing tools...
They were so good.

The Northern lights have been coming out more so hopefully I'll get a good picture of them soon. Also trying to get a picture of a sun dog which is the illusion of 3 suns on the horizon connected by a small rainbow. Pretty cool huh. I just gotta get it on camera!

Headed to hawaii in less than 26 days! : )

you are my sunshine

So today started like any other. It was snowing! : )

 I got up at 6, made breakfast, got the girls to school and work, got ready and headed to the university. I was pulling into a parking space and had to back up slightly to fit. As i'm backing up all of a sudden BAM! I backed into another car like a boss. We were both alright and there was little to no damage to either car. Not how I wanted to start my day. I headed into my Psych life span development class crying and flustered. But by the end of class I was feeling much better though. : )
My Psych building is a replica of the J. Edgar Hoover FBI building in D.C. and of course the writing lab is on the 8th floor.

Its a fun hike. Oh and a useless fact about this building, its also riot proof as is the FBI building. Not a lot of riots in alaska I assume but I could be wrong. lol
My classes are all great. I look forward to my 3 hour long Modern history class on tuesday nights, its greatly amusing and my professor is one the most eccentric people I have ever met. I've made friends with a girl in this class who reminds me of my dear friend arianna. Her name is natalie and she is into snowboarding, yoga and hiking. Its easy to say, I think we'll get along : ) Coincidentally she is also going to hawaii and Kauai for spring break as well as me. So that should be fun.
Another friend I've been very fortunate to make here is William. Without him I would have been without a friend for far too long and he was nice enough to take me to my first hockey game and the "best burrito place in Fairbanks". So thanks! : )

Another strange thing about alaska, there are these blue, extremely fat crows that seem to waddle just about everywhere. Thats all for now.
