I think it's safe to say, that fall has hit us here in Fairbanks. The leaves are starting to turn yellow, it's been raining the last two day with rain in the forecast for the next week, and the weather has started to feel chilly. Hopefully we will get a couple more nice days, but our midnight sun is gone until next year. **sad face**
What I am happy to see go, however, are summer classes! I am so excited that this is the LAST summer that I'll have to go through the pains of a summer class. I take my last final, trigonometry, this afternoon. The class hasn't been that hard, but the final is comprehensive so I've been putting more study time into than I usually would. I'll have about a two week break until the fall semester starts. Woohoo!
I know you're probably wondering....what has Michelle been up to lately?! And the answer is not much, but there have been significant events since I last blogged so here we go....
Sharon's Bachelorette Party! That was a fun time, got a little crazy, but that's what is required before your best friend gets hitched!

As you can assume, the next weekend was the rehearsal dinner and wedding. There were laughs, tears, aww moments, and so much more. I hope you had the wedding of your dreams, Lovern! I love you dearly. Enjoy a few photos.

This was such a fun day that I will always remember, it was so full of love and memories, old and new.
A couple days after the wedding, I met up with Andrew in Anchorage where he was umpiring. The weather was surprisingly nice for A-town, and we got some shopping done, and two trips to the Olive Garden!!
On the drive home from Anchorage, I got a surprising phone call from a local CPA firm that I interviewed with last October. They were still interested in having me work for them, so I went into their office to chat last week. I was offered, and then accepted, an internship, and I start work the end of the month!! I will miss working at BLM, they were always so supportive of my crazy school schedule, but I cannot wait to start working in the accounting field and putting these last 4 years of college to good use! Wish me luck!
One of the best parts of the summer, was when Ava and Ainslie came up for a visit. Ava is Andrew's brand new niece, and she came up with her momma to meet the family. Babies are such a blessing, no matter how they come into this world! I hope I'll be this little girls Auntie someday <3 She was just the sweetest thing, and her uncle and I just fell in love with this precious little baby.

They left last week, with Matthew leaving for school too. When the family left town, Andrew and I hit the fair. It wasn't a huge deal, being that it's practically the same each year, but here our traditional photo button!

Our last hoorah before I start my internship and before the fall semester starts, we are heading down to Valdez to fish for some silver salmon! My dad is already down there, so we will be meeting up with him. It should be a good time, lets hope the fish are biting!!
XOXO
