What a busy weekend!

A couple of things...

First off, when Anchorage's minor league hockey team scores their first goal of their game, fans throw fish heads onto the ice. Yes, I said fish heads.

Secondly, I'm not sure if I told you guys, but I have never had a cavity in my life...until I moved up here! Then, I got FOUR within six months!! I've been really baffled by this phenomenon and just attributed it to getting older. However, there really is a real reason for this decrease in dental health. There is no fluoride in the water up here! Well, damn, no wonder my teeth have been rotting out!

Hell's Belle's

Friday night, Michael and I went with my online girl group to see an all-female AC/DC cover band at a local club. The band was AWESOME! The above photo is with some of the ladies that were at the show! The club did get super crowded, but we did have a great time with all of our friends.

Fur Rendezvous, or Fur Rondy!

Every year, Anchorage has a festival called Fur Rendezvous. Even up here in the frozen tundra, they have fair rides! At first, I was like "hell no, I'm not going to ride any of that stuff because it is cold!". Then, Michael reminded me that I couldn't ride any of the rides, anyways, because of being pregnant! Damnnit! If you look at the thing in the left of the photo, that is the snowboard ramp. We watched this show on Saturday. It was pretty cool. Snowboarders and some skiiers from all over the state came to compete in this board show. After seeing these stunts in person, I am even more in awe of the Olympians!

A Friend's Birthday Extravaganza!

Our friend, Kelly (the one in the red shirt), turned 33 years old so we all went out dancing to celebrate. Originally, I did not plan on staying out all night, but we were having so much fun that I didn't even notice it was 2 in the morning! I ended up being the DD for a couple of our friends and being the photographer of the evening. I kind of liked this job of photographer and mind-filler in person! Haha!

Michael and I even danced a few times! Notice the liquid courage in Michael's hands!

Running of the Reindeer

During the Fur Rondy festival, they have this race called "Running of the Reindeer". This is exactly like it sounds! Runners race down a couple of blocks in the city and a few reindeers are released in the street to run through the runners! The runners don't run very far and the reindeer are nothing like the bulls in Spain! I think these reindeers really just wanted to get the heck out of the crowd and get back to their reindeer trailers! A lot of people also dress up in costumes for this race.

The three cowgirls waving in the photo above are three of my really good friends that competed in the race. I really wanted to compete, too, but the pregnancy put a stop to that. Oh well, next year.

One of the reindeers running through the streets! Run, runner, run!!
