Dog's Best Friend or Man's Best Friend?

The Honeycrisp apples this year ROCKED! We made our 2nd trip in 3 weeks to Hastings to stock up on Honeycrips and cider. It just aint' fall without them. The Fall colors were "peak", not sure I understand what peak means, if it equates to half color, half wind-blown then it was definitely peak. It is always slightly depressing when the leaves fall and everyting is gray. But on a brighter note dog and man did some serious bonding. We went hiking along the Vermelion River, pretty cool spot that Matt knew of (back to high school days and his extracuricular activities). The river actually had some strong rapids, to which Sonny discovered first hand after his "best friend" decided to play fetch in them. Needless to say, I don't think I have ever felt so bad for Sonny, he looked like he was going to drown - but he was determined to get that ball, and that he did.

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.
