Yeah! Gina and Nicole come to town!



We had visitors this weekend! Thank God for Matt, my week was so busy that I had to send him on errands, which included cleaning the house and buying an extra bed. But that's what husbands are for, right? Friday night G and N came to Minneapolis. The night started out with a fantastic dinner at Cue and then a night of heavy drinking ensued. For real, aren't we getting too old to do this?!? It took all day Saturday to recover.. so much that they stayed another night and B even joined. Saturday we tried to sweat out our hangover by shopping at the MOA all day long. The people watching, as always, was top notch at MOA and we also got the added pleasure of enduring H&M's SLOWEST moving check out line, for real. The combo of Movies, pizza, and a 5 pound bag of candy bars is always the cure for days that never end. Hey - at least we know now that there is fun beyond drinking a bottle of Rumpy :) All in all it was a SUPER fun weekend and I can't wait to do it again. Next time, Madison?

Us...Five! Five-a-Live!

Seriously. five. it's a big number. Okay. this year, there's no tellin', well maybe some tellin' since it's already May... Here's what I do know and the rest well it's all a big ole' question mark. Year five will inevitably bring change, career change! yay! attitude change! yay! I've been waiting. it's finally here. now Raybill... Matt scored our first investment property. and a tv show to boot (note: tv show used generously). watch for it peeps. It's going to be huge ;)

Us... cuatro ano

I really have no idea where this year will lead us. All starts with our biggest vacation yet... Thailand. And then from there who knows? We have (or should I say I have) been searching for a project maybe landlords, maybe a new fantastic job, maybe entrepuer, maybe a new house. Crystal ball anyone?

Us... On to year three.

Most exciting thing in our life... No more school! No more school! Well at least for me. Matt may think differently, like I told him vacation is on for me, over for him ;) Not quite sure how I will fill my time yet, we all know I don't do relaxation well, and the first two weeks have been interesting, a visit to NYC, re-sodding the lawn for the second time, planting the garden, a craiglist's garage sale, etc.

Us... Year 2

Year 2 of marriage. As Matt would say this is the year of being "young professionals"... Matt went independent in August and we are trying to figure out how to adjust to "tax-free" checks. It makes me a little nervous but Matt, the ever adivsor, says it is just fine. I just started my new job at ConAgra Foods, quite a change from industrial automation. Oh and there's school... never ending school. Someday, I will be done, right? With the house projects near completion, Matt traded smoking for a new boat. (I think he cheats by having a beer just to justify a smoke, but I secretly cannot bring myself to sell the boat - Sonny likes it too much) And then there is Sonny, 100 pounds and spoiled. He continues to rule the house.
