Bohemian Rhapsody Click the link to listen to the song!     When my now husband started dating in high school we would go on these long road trips for baseball tournaments and during one of those trips this was when he introduced me to this gem.

 Hello! My name is Alyssa Adams, I am 25 years old and working towards my elementary school education through The University of Alaska Fairbanks. My family and I moved to Fairbanks exactly a year ago today and we have loved every minute of it.
