Playing Catch Up

My goodness.. a lot has happened to the badgers in the past two weeks! I hope to recap quickly and to make it interesting.

Here we go:

Last weekend, we went to Aaron Case & Vanessa Kilpatrick's wedding! Aaron is one of Stephen's best friend and was in our wedding.
(that's aaron in the office chair - at our wedding)


We love Aaron & Vanessa and were so excited to be a part of this day!!
the best DJ around. thanks for the jamz!

Our dance buddies. 

The beautiful Bride!



He danced so hard he had a blow out. 

So this past weekend.. We went to FARGO, ND!! If you haven't seen the movie, please do! It's so good and the accents are right on. 
Robert Green (the guy who married us) ran in a marathon in Fargo, so we took Rocky and headed "up nort der" 

So we get to the FargoDome:

Where the marathon is.  We have badgers & rocky:

Rocky was Robert's #1 fan!

Stephen also spotted Superman in the race.. which is weird, why would he run when he can fly?

We had a great time.. until....
Robert had serious back spasms and was dehydrated and had to be ambulanced to the hospital! After being loaded up on valium & fluids (and a little loopy, I might add) he got out of the ER:

And we went to dinner! He didn't get a medal, but he got an awesome hospital arm band. 

We are so proud of you Robert! But as far as our sign (see above) he made it 24 miles out of 26.2.

Then, yesterday, courtesy of Stephen's good friend, Lance Barksdale, we went to the Twins game! It was awesome! Luckily for me, after the game we went to the Mall of America! Yes!

That's Stephen with his co-workers, Kurt & Jeff, who got to go with us!

That's one happy badger :)

We had a wonderful past couple of weekends and are planning on head to Duluth, MN this weekend for Memorial Day!  We are really making the best of this wonderful opportunity to be able to live in a different place! Thank you God for mixing up our lives and making things fun! We know He has a plan and a will for us! Jeremiah 29:11. 

God Bless!!

Mulchin' Ain't Easy.

With spring here and such nice temperatures, I couldn't help but want to work on our yard a little! Saturday morning, I went to Lowes and stocked up on flowers to fill our window boxes and pots and mulch to work on our bush beds.  (I know that sounds weird, but see photos below). Our neighbors son came by while I was in the front yard and offered to mow our grass! Hallelujah! Because our lawn mower wouldn't fit in the U-Haul! He was so nice and did a wonderful job! He is going to cut it all summer, hopefully!

Stephen and I worked our tails off in the yard, but it definitely paid off! 
It looks great!! or at least we think so :) 


I love the window boxes! 
This is on the side of our house! I think they are elephant ears or something? They haven't bloomed yet and when we got here they were dead! So we are excited to see what all is in our yard!
This is the back yard, and yes Rocky is tee-teeing.  He is always like "where's waldo" in the our pictures.


Also, since I've been eyeing every tulip I've seen, I decided to buy some for myself!!

And Rocky is such a great help!


Have a wonderful week!
God Bless!
