Landscape updates

 We have been busy with some landscaping.... 
 Happy Fall!! 
My personal favorite season!! 

 We added some much needed landscaping around the electric boxes

New tree for the front yard. It will bloom white in the spring! 

Mums 

This tree is actually three put together. It's in the back yard and will bloom a red/pink in the spring
We are hoping to add a little privacy to our yard. 

 Dan's personal favorite... an Aspen tree for the back. 
It is almost as tall as our second story! 
Hope you are all enjoying this great fall weather!

Happy Birthday

Dan and I were able to get away for a few days to celebrate his birthday and enjoy the fall weather we have been having. This year the candles filled the cake!! We both had to laugh when my sister even commented that we were old! 

We spent two days at Camp Lebonon in a cabin. Dan was able to fish and I was able to catch up on some reading.  It was wonderful to get away and just enjoy nature and a slower pace of life. If you ever need a get away... highly recommend it! 


Here is the view from the cabin inside


            Dan grilling his birthday dinner.                                             A cake I found at the local "grocery store"
Just a few candles... and we were even missing a couple! 
The college guys enjoyed the rest of the cake later that weekend! 

Inside the cabin-

The camera battery died, so we didn't get to take any pictures in North Dakota or the rest of our time at the cabin

After we had been at the cabin we headed to see my brother and sister at NDSU. We had a fun dinner celebrating the Dan's birthday's (my Dan and my sister's boyfriend Dan) and just catching up. We took an exciting trip to Walmart to load them up. Dan and I always appreciated when people did that for us in college, guess you can say we were paying it forward. We had a great visit. It was very serial to see my little sister and brother grown up, but exciting to see where life was taking them. The weekend ended way to fast, but we enjoyed getting out of the daily grind and being able to spend time with family. 


Counting down till we get to see the ENTIRE  Mach side... it will be here before you know it!!
