YEEEEOWWWW!

Yikes. I'm so embarassed. I have absolutely neglected this blog for far too long. It has been a ridiculously busy summer, and I just haven't had the energy to up-date here. My apologies.

Here is just a glimpse of what we've been up to:

First of all, I must share this gem - I learned how to KAYAK!! It has been terrifying, yes. But such an adventure. I have SO much learning to do, but we've gotten a good start with rolling lessons, river lessons and a trip down the river on our own now.

In June we made it back to Minnesota for a wedding. I can't even tell you how much fun it was to see all of our college friends. Ahhh. Good times.

A week after that, Mom, Dad, Daniel and Ben spent a week with us. Even MORE good times.


My little brother got married in July! Geez. The summer just keeps getting better and better... It was a gorgeous wedding, and I don't think I have to tell you that it was just SUCH a blast. LOVED spending a long weekend with my family.


Two weeks later was ANOTHER wedding (are we sensing a pattern here?). This one was in Minnesota, too. By this point our travel funds for the next several years are pretty much spent. Ha!


And the big finale..............

I still can't believe this news.......





That's right! See that little sign out front? It says SOLD because.............. It was SOLD to US! Yeay!

It isn't official yet. We still have to make it through the appraisal. But if all goes well, in two weeks we will be moving into our very own home! AAAACCKK! I still can't believe it. I'm trying to remember that it is not a sure thing yet - that two weeks is plenty of time for something to go wrong with this deal - but I can't help but be out of my mind excited! Our OWN HOME. Whew.

Yes, that means our moving count is up to five now since we got married a little more than two years ago. FIVE moves. Yuck. But moving to a house that we own? Totally worth it, right?

Anyway, so that is the overview. In a nutshell: this has been one ridiculously busy summer. But so much fun, I wouldn't trade the stress and craziness for a second.
