glacier_kittyYesterday was the first clear, sunny day in Fairbanks in what seemed like a very long time. It was nice eating a milkshake with my parents on the deck again lol. Around midnight I was about to get in bed, then remembered it was clear and looked outside to see if the Northern Lights were out, and sure enough, there they were! I watched from my window for awhile and when they didn't go away, I went to tell mom the lights were out (she was about to go to bed. Everyone except dad is a night owl lol). We went outside and mom texted Ryan and Jo, who came out too. Ryan said he walked Sid a little earlier, but didn't see anything. I looked at just the right time!! They got bright and started dancing..I'll never get over how cool that always is! The lights are almost never directly overhead at my parents' house, so that was cool too! After awhile they faded some and we went back inside. I was about to go to bed again when mom told me they were good again. We watched from her window and went back outside when they started getting really good. After I got back outside the sky just EXPLODED with auroras!! You couldn't see all of them at once because they were just everywhere!! They turned purple and were dancing like crazy..so beautiful! Around 1 they faded and just stayed white, so then we went to bed for real this time haha. That was super cool and fun and lucky. Thanks, nature!
Watching the lights from our own backyard!
A little purple!
They're curtaining! (Somehow that is actually a word haha)
My favorite from the night. So beautiful and epic!
When everyone was at grandma's, we were watching videos from America's Got Talent..one of them was Richard Goodall, a humble janitor who liked to sing. He seemed SUPER nervous and "plain" (he himself said he wasn't a fancy person), but when he started singing "Don't Stop Believin," Simon Cowell's jaw dropped to the floor, and I said "what?!" His voice sounded SO much like Steve Perry's, and he added his own touches too (like when he said "he took the midnight train going anywhere," he did a hand motion like he was showing where the train was going). His hands were shaking the entire time, but he was SO good and completely owned the song. Definitely a "don't judge someone by their looks" moment. He got the Golden Buzzer (I think it sends you straight to the live shows). A couple days ago I saw he was the winner of this year's show!! I watched his other performances, and yeah, he absolutely earned his win (Simon was right when he said America's going to love him!). I'm so happy he won, just a regular guy who'd never even been on a plane before going to audition. Nice!
28. What Famous Landmarks Have You Visited? The Tower of London, the Eiffel Tower, the Alamo, the Colosseum, the Grand Canyon, Kilauea, Carassonne, Columbia Glacier, Westminster Abbey, La Sagrada Familia, the Empire State Building, the Matterhorn, Mt. St. Helens, etc
29. What Are Your Healthy Habits? I drink Emergen-C most days to ward off sicknesses, I walk to and from work, I brush my teeth, etc
