Cory's 25th

Cory's 25th birthday was last week and while I didn't get any pictures of us (woops....) I did take pictures of the cake and sushi cupcakes I made!

He wouldn't let us sing to him but I insisted on at least blowing out candles.

Old man ;)

Random Pictures

I had such an amazing weekend in California for Trisha & Josh's wedding! Everything was beautiful, and it was so nice to see (almost) everyone!

Now back to the cold reality of Alaska! It is currently about 34 degrees with a chance of snow later on. The leaves are pretty much all gone from the trees now, but they were beautiful when they turned! Here are some pictures from about a month ago when we went to Eklutna Lake:

Rudy clearly enjoyed himself

I'm starting to notice a trend with all of our pictures together. We thought about actually asking someone to take the picture for us, but that seemed too easy.

A few weeks ago I got to go on a field trip with one of the classes I'm observing to see Byron Glacier down in Girdwood. It was so cool! Although it made me very sad to learn that the glacier has retreated (aka shrunk) about 3 and a half miles in only 90 years. :( And apparently not too long ago it used to touch the edge of the parking lot near the visitor's center and now you have to hike about a mile and a half into the woods to reach it. Still, it was an awesome experience!
