Happy Birthday Mary!!

Hope you have a FANTASTIC Birthday! We all love you!

New Beginnings...

My cousin Aaron and his wife Lindee just moved into the cutest little house in Duluth. I'm so excited that they are finally here. We helped move them yesterday and went on a mini tour of Duluth with Stan, Cheri and Katie.

Aaron and Lindee's cute house!

The Balgaard girls in the kitchen

Aaron and Stan built this bed for Lindee as a wedding present... their talented!!

Enjoying park point beach

Picking Raspberries in their backyard... mmm!

The Rock

There is this rock by robby's place that we like to swim to in Lake Superior. Since it has been so cold here the water is still freezing.... so it is a fast swim. One time, robby was carrying his towel over his head while swimming out. His sandal started to fall off and he was trying to reach for it while swimming. I was watching him and had no idea what was going on... it really looked like he was drowning. Scary to me... funny to him. Anyways... I think we are going to swim to the rock today. YAY!

Farewell to my good friend Jen

My friend Jen is leaving on her 11 month mission trip today! This day came way too fast but i'm excited for her and anxious to hear her stories. I will miss her dearly and will miss all of our fun adventures... take a look at all we've done in the past year together!

Goodbye Jen! I'll miss you tons! May God continue to bless you on your trip... with showers, good food, internet... and of course the opportunity to share God's love with those you meet.

LOVE YOU!
