New Toy = New Hobby

I don't know if its because I'm bored or what, but I decided I needed a new hobby...

Photography.

I have always been interested, but never really pursued it, but nows my chance!

Being bored isn't cheap! (Just ask Branden!) Ha Ha

No... I have been saving money that I have been making at my job, and I just decided to buy a digital SLR camera!

It's Awesome.

Here are some of my first pics. (Don't judge) : )

Oh, I also learned a new term.

Termination Dust.

Termination Dust is an Alaskan term referring to the first dusting of snow in the mountains. Summer is "terminated" and winter is on its way.


Alaska is AMAZING at this time of year, but...

Its a SAD DAY when you see this.


But, on the upside... Branden comes home in a week and a half!

Alaska State Fair

This weekend we ventured out to the Alaska state fair and the weather couldn't have been better! Here I am with my friend Leslie's baby Ethan. And below are my friends Annie and her baby Urijah (Bug), and Brittany and her baby Brinkley. I didn't get a picture of Leslie and Owen :( But we had fun at the fair eating some 'healthy food', shopping around the booths, and enjoying the amazing weather! hopefully it is not gone for the year. The leaves are already changing up here and it is so beautiful! But they won't last long, that freezing cold weather is just around the corner I'm afraid.

Here is a fiddlin family that we watched, they were pretty entertaining!

These are some flowers that were in a contest at the fair, I thought they were pretty awesome!

Anyways, we have officially hit the Half way mark. 26 weeks down, 26 to go! And I'm counting down the days til midtour leave! Less than a month! Yay!
