Who do you love?

Renee spent the weekend with me. I made her a heart shaped pancake and let her drink from the love mug.

(I'm wearing Mary's shirt from when she was five... it's may FAVORITE t-shirt ever!!!)

I LOVE my "Mary Love's Me" mug. It's pretty much my favorite and I let all of my friends drink from it. Mary is just full of soooo much love... I can't help but spread it! :)

I love you Mary Ida.

Introducing the Marmot Limelight 2

Robby got a new tent! He LOVES his new tent so much that he had to set it up in his living room. I asked him if he was going to take the tent down soon and he said "the only way I will take the tent down is to see how long it takes me to put it back up again." My suggestions is that we have our Bible study in the tent with our small group tomorrow night. I hope nobody is claustrophobic!

Checkmate!!

After a two-day game... I finally forced Robby into checkmate and beat him in a game of chess!!!! It was an intense game with many strategic thought-out moves. At one point in the game I thought I had lost and he asked me if I just wanted to quit. This isn't the first time I have came back and beat him... :)

YEAH- it's a great feeling!!!

Vote for Danny!

I Love Danny Gokey on American Idol! He is so so so good! I think he will be the next Jeremy Camp :)

Backyard Hiking!

I'm so excited to find out that Robby has miles of hiking trails basically in his back yard. We hiked the Superior Hiking Trail today and it was beaufitul with only a few muddy spots. It was so neat to go hiking without having to drive anywhere to get to the trails... I loved it! Today was BEAUTIFUL in Duluth! We even got to eat lunch out on Robby's deck. YAY for sunshine :)

Strong Community

I've been so impressed watching the F/M community pull together to protect their city. It's almost overwhelming watching the news. Thousands of people have spent tireless hours volunteering and a lot of them not even from the city. What an amazing act of courage and selflesseness.... my heart goes out ot them as they fight the flood together.

Hawaiian Day At Spirit

Jill and I spent the day skiing at Spirit Mountain during Hawaiian Day!! It was so beautiful outside- we didn't even wear a jacket!! We also did the water skipping competition where we skiied across a pool. Jill made almost made it across and I made it about 1/2 way. It was really fun... but took my boots like a week to dry out.
