Snow in September?!

That's right folks, it has snowed in Alaska! Last Saturday I was in shorts and a light jacket and then, it rained Sunday and the mountaintops emerged Monday morning covered in snow. This is referred to as "Termination Dust" in Alaska meaning that summer is terminated, but boy did it turn cold fast. Wednesday my car thermometer topped out at 41 degrees, yes, 41 degrees. Although it is cold, it doesn't feel like 41 at home; our bodies have most certainly adjusted to the cooler temperatures here.

On my way to work I stopped to take a picture of these mountain tops; pretty sure the MPs would not approve, but oh well.

GO DEACS!!

GO DEACONS!! YAY for a win for the deacs! :) Tyler and I thought we were not going to get to watch the game today because it was only on pay-per-view for .... $135 PLUS taxes and fees ... we love you Wake, but obviously one football game is not worth that on TV. But then, my super computer-savvy hubby, found the game and a log-in for the ESPN 360 so we got to watch it on our computer. We enjoyed waffles, the wake game on the computer, the carolina game on tv, and our pajamas this morning!!

Bella in her Wake gear. She doesn't really appreciate football yet; she did not understand the random cheers and clapping to the fight song. Although unamused, she was dressed for the event!! :)

Bella, not too fond of the bandana, but we're working on it!

In other news ... Tyler built a gate for Bella! Now that I am at school all day we felt terrible leaving Bella in the crate all day. To fix this Tyler built a gate on the front of one of the knooks in our garage!! She loves her new space and I don't feel as bad leaving her at home each day.

The gate.

Bella's knook!
