Once again I have decided to head out of town to work in Bethel this month, so this was my only weekend off for the entire month of September. I am very happy to report that my best friend Wendy has been dating a guy from Europe for about 5 months and they are happily engaged. He came to Alaska earlier this week and proposed!! I am super excited to help her plan the wedding! We won't know a date until their Visa goes through. This marrying a foreigner is a fairly complicated process.
Alfred and I had plans to do some camping and hit the Alaska State Fair this weekend. The rain killed our plans for camping. However we did make it to the fair. It was the same old thing and I am starting to wonder why I go every year. It's outrageously expensive and just not that fun anymore. However, we did pick up my friends' kiddo and drag him along. We literally dragged him because he got super tired after we got there. We had some food and rode a few kiddy rides. Nothing spectacular by any means!! The rest of the weekend was pretty uneventful...I can't even remember what we did. However, I believe there was lots of sleeping in and relaxing involved because we have been on the go so much. We bought ourselves racquetball rackets....very exciting!! We are going to try and play more. We have been pretty inseparable since Hawaii and I will miss him again when I'm gone for work.
The week in Bethel was wretchedness and not EVEN worth talking about...ugh...never again.
Back to work a few days early this week. I couldn't believe how quick Fall has come this year. When we got back from Hawaii leaves were starting to turn already. There are very few things about Alaska that I dislike, but the short Fall season is definitely one of them! However, the trip to Oregon and Delaware next month will be helpful! I am looking forward to meeting Al's family and for him to meet mine. We actually have lots of cool plans for October, so the blog should be more exciting next month...I will try to keep up with it better!
