Less Than A Week!!

Hard to believe that all the waiting for our home to be finished is coming to an end. I apologies that it has been so long since we have posted anything. I feel like I closed my eyes and September was gone! We have been busy getting ready for the big move. We are set to close next Tuesday and we are very excited. There seems to be a lot to get done, but daily we are checking things off the ever growing to do list.

Besides the move to look forward to, I am starting a new job at one of the local hospitals. I am excited to be back in the hospital setting working as an RN. I have deeply missed it. I will be working the Day/Evening rotation. I am hoping to get as close to Dan's schedule as possible (if you think about it... please pray about that for us).

We are also excited to be able to go and visit our friends in Washington D.C. We will be able to visit Amy, Jared, and the girls for a few days and see their new place and spend time with them. We will also be able to spend a few days with Rob. Dan is already talking about all the guitar he is going to play while we are there. Both Amy and Rob were in our wedding party and dear friends of ours.

So, with all that said, please think of us this next week as we pack, clean, paint, move and unpack our new home. We are so excited to be in there and have you all visit. Please know you are welcome anytime! I will try to post some pictures once we are all settled in, but for the tour.. you will just have to visit.

Hope you are all having a great week and enjoying this wonderful fall weather!

Meet The Neighbors

I think that ever since I was young I have sworn that I would never live next to my parents, not even remotely close to them. I wanted to move far away! Funny how things have a way of changing. This past month my parents were able to move to the same town that Dan and I live in. Now...with that said, I must clarify that they have owned this land for over 10 years!! So, I guess we would have to say that Dan and I moved into their town. It has been so nice being able to be close to them and just stop by when we want to say hi. We are looking forward to spending time at their new home and enjoying the 10 acres of land they have. Welcome to the neighborhood!

One Last Summer Harrah

We were able to get out of town this past weekend and enjoy the great outdoors. Savanna Portage State Park has a lot to offer. We were able to hike, ride our bikes on trails, fish and just enjoy being outside. As a child, I came up here to hang out at a friend of the families cabin which is located in this state park.

Pictures from our hike around Loon Lake are below.
It was a rugged trail, but very pretty.





The two pictures above are from our hike to the North/South Continental Divide.
Well worth the hike!
