More and more light!

Things are still going well up here in Fairbanks! I haven't been up to too much so far this semester, but we have gone on a few small adventures...


We went to see the start of the Yukon dogsled race. It's over 1,000 miles long and takes them about two weeks to finish!

Me overlooking the start of the race! It started on the Chena river right downtown.

I got to touch the pipeline!!

Justin and I

I found some amazing x-c skiing at a place called Birch Hill. It's well groomed, free and has lots of hills!! :)

The temperatures are slowly getting warmer and the days are much longer. The sun comes up around 8am and sets around 6 pm! Most of the time I don't need my big jacket anymore which is exciting! We had a few days last week where the temps actually got up to 35 and the snow started melting everywhere! It's back below freezing now but it's nice that the sun is strong enough to do that now!

I'm really looking forward to Emily coming April 10th! My family is coming out in June and I can't wait for that either!! I miss everyone lots!!!
