Memorial Weekend!!

So, I hope everyone had a fabulous memorial holiday!! Andy and I went to visit James and Winnie in Wisconsin. Winnie and James were about 4 hours away. The drive wasn't bad at all and the scenery was beautiful...however, on the way there and back, we saw about 15-17 dead deer. It was soo sad.

Anyway, the most challenging part of our trip was not having out stuff....we had packed everything, but for some reason, neither one of us double checked and the bag got left behind. Definitely a big mistake that won't happen again. But, despite that, we had tons of fun!! We did a variety of things..went to Michigan Lake, Farmers market in Madison, played DDR and karaoke, saw a parade, and had a BBQ.

Well, that was our exciting trip...i've posted some pics...I hope you enjoy them. :)

Here we are at Michigan Lake. It was actually pretty cool in the area...which was a nice break from the heat.

There was a kite festival at the Lake. I thought it was pretty cool. There were lots of people out enjoying the weather and having a good time.

Finally in Rochester!!

So...I finally found time to update my blog! Here's a quick update...

April 28th - Andy graduates from BYU!! Graduation was fun! The best part was being able to see everyone in my family...minus my parents and Ted's family...They weren't able to make it because Stacey was very close to having her baby. I was especially excited to meet Tanner...at that time, he was the newest addition to the family- Son of Aaron and Alison. He was sooo cute!

May 1st - Arrived in Rochester, MN and moved into our new house. It was so good to have a place to move into right away. We started painting right away and actually finished the day before the moving truck delivered our stuff. It was quite interesting...we had no furniture and nothing to cook with! We slept on the floor for the first few days and ate out quite a bit. Luckily, we got a few gift certificates from our realter and mortgage broker. I thought that was really nice of them.

May 12th - After 2 weeks of hard work, we finally got our house finished...furniture and everything! It felt soo good. Now, the only thing we need is just a few more decorating items. But, we figured we could wait on that. :)

May 16th - Today, the weather was sooo nice! It was actually SUNNY! It had been raining the last few days. So, we went out and got my car fixed and then walked around to explore the area. It was nice to finally spend time outside. In fact, we finally got to explore the Douglas trail...which is just right by our home. It was beautiful!! Everything is soo green! I love it!

Anyway, that's basically all the updates now. I will try to get pics up later. We hope everyone else is doing well...and we hope you guys can come visit sometime. Visitors are definitely welcomed!
