Robby's an Airman!!

Robby officially graduated from basic training... finally! I love this picture of him. It was crazy hearing about all of the intricate details in bed making and keeping his locker/clothes in order. He has scrapes on his hands from making his bed! The details in everything is amazing... I could never ever remember it all! Yay for Robby... so proud of him!

Birthday Highlights...

I had a terrific Birthday!! Some of the highlight were....

Kohler chocolates from Joe

A birthday blizzard from the Dairy Queen!

Sushi at a new place downtown called Hanabi... it was AWESOME!! Although I haven't ventured out on Sushi too much... it was by far the best I have had!

Brewhouse celebration with a band called Old Knifey and the Cutthroats... and my favorite beer Apricot Wheat... mmmm!

And the best surprise of all... Flower from Robby :) The best part is that he must have planned sending them before he even left! So pretty!!

C'mon ring those bells!

How could you not put some money in the Salvation Army pot after walking past a bell ringer this cute... seriously!!

Minnesoooota Thanksgiving!

This year Lindee and Aaron celebrated Thanksgiving with Robby and I in Duluth. Lindee and I made a feast of food... including a homemade pumpkin pie! Since this was Lindee's 1st thanksgiving away from her Alabama family... we made them this video! Enjoy :)

A Happy Hunter

My dad has been taking Robby pheasant hunting on the farm.... and he LOVES it! Today he shot his first pheasant and I was there to witness it! Nice shot Robby :)

Weekend with the girls!

Last weekend I got together with my college friends. We had so much fun catching up, dancing to 32 below (a band we followed in college), and watching movies. We took Jamie out for her first Martini... mmm!! Renee made the most delicous breakfast and she even made some homemade cinnamon whip cream... it was so yummy!!! I can't wait until they come to Duluth to go skiing with me... i'm crossing my fingers :) Yippee!

Christmas Date!

Every Christmas Robby and I get eachother gifts... but this year we decided to get gifts for children in need instead. We decided to have a Christmas date and planned out the entire day! We started by going to the dollar store to fill up shoe boxes to give to Operation Christmas Child. Robby got items for a boy and I picked out items for a girl... we bought them school supplies, hygiene products and also some fun things to play with.




After we finished shopping we feasted on blackwoods takeout and wine... mmmmm! As you can tell by the picture Robby was very excited about this part of the date :)

After supper we cranked some Christmas music and put up the tree. It was so so much fun and we even got compliments of our tree from the neighbors!!!

There were so many shoe boxes at the drop off site it was unbeleivable!!! Robby and I put a picture and note in our boxes with our address so maybe we will hear back from whoever receives our box! Click HERE to learn more about Operation Christmas Child!!
