As much as I tend to dislike rain, I have to say that the last few days have been a huge relief. The temperature has cooled to the high 60s and low 70s thanks to overcast and rainy weather. Aaaah... it feels great! The previous week or so has been absolutely hellishly hot. We've been in the high 90s with over 80 humidity each day.
With the cooling off comes the fact that school will be starting up again soon. As much as I love being a teacher, the end of vacation time is a bit sad. No matter if you have 3 months (like in the US) or about 6 weeks (like in Japan) the vacation time never seems to be quite enough. There's always more that you want to do, more people you want to see, and more cleaning you want to do.
In the next few months there will be a lot of changes and adjustments, here's to facing them!

More pictures!
A couple days after the wedding, we got our spiffy duds on again and took a few more pictures! Our photographer has an engagement photo shoot included in every picture package. Well, since we were arriving only a few days before the wedding she suggested doing a "wear it again" shoot instead. I thought that would be a great way to relax and have a few more pictures taken when all the pressure was off.
We took two sets of pictures: one at the cabin in the woods where we'd stayed after the wedding and then a few more at my parents house! It was a bit chilly when we took the pictures, but they came out great! Check them out under "Alisha and Shimon: Wear it Again."
Just a side note... Every time Shimon and I are kissing in a picture he goes all funny and says hazukashii, which roughly means "how embarrassing!" Haha! I quite enjoy those pictures, but he's very Japanese about affection... i.e. doesn't show a lot in public, let alone in front of cameras!

Wedding Pictures!
Sooooo... I am a horrible blogger. :-( I have neglected my blog for months! Eeek! To be fair... weddings are a big deal. Lots of planning and all that... yeah, it still means I'm a bad blogger. ;-)
But as my first blog "back" in the blogging world... I'm going to share wedding pictures!
Our wedding photographers were Rebecca Kurber and her husband Joe. They did an awesome job! (If you live in the Fairbanks area and need to have portraits done or are getting married - I would highly recommend them!)
So far, we only have highlights and there are some great pics! Our pictures are in an album called "Alisha & Shimon: I Do" and had nearly 200 pics in it. In the near future we should have ALL the pictures and I'll share them as well!!
