Spring might have finally sprung...?

April is almost over, and yet I still desperately need my winter coat most days. Something is seriously wrong with that. I know, I know, we are moving to Fargo so I had better get used to it, but I was hoping to enjoy some nice weather beforehand.  Thankfully today was definitely one of those beautiful days I've been hoping for. It could have been a little warmer, but I did NOT need my winter coat and that's pretty much all I'm asking for these days.
This morning we went to some garage sales and got a washer and dryer for our house! Of couese a few other odds and ends came home with us as well. Then Gram, Gramps, Aaron and I went to the Farmers daughter Market and had lunch. Then we headed home and sat outside for a bit. Then we decided to have a fire with all the wood Aarons been chopping lately....oh yes you heard that correctly. Turns out the man I married is half lumberjack. Who would have thought. We made smores and everything. What a fantastic day spent with people I think the world of.

I'm Baaaacccckkkk!

Hi! How are you?

Sooooo you know how they say you learn something new every day? Well, today I learned that there are people who actually MISS my blog.....yes I'll repeat it,  PEOPLE MISSED THE BLOG!!!! I never really knew anyone but my Grams and my cousin T read it. Not that they aren't extremely important people, but I talk to them...on the phone and skype....weekly. So they pretty much know everything that is going on with me anyway.
I could see that the blog was getting checked, but I just figured it was Grams checking for updates every 5 minutes. (Gotta love her, she's always been my number 1 fan) Now that I KNOW there are "others" (haha "Lost" anyone?) I'm making my come back. Now let's keep our fingers crossed it's as successful as Britney Spears' comeback. I'll leave you with a picture of "The Wood Chipper" the hubs and I. Yup that happened.

I'll be back. There will be more. But first this beauty needs her rest, 10:30 is past my bed time. (STOP laughing!  I'm getting old!)

Day 28: My dream home

I know I said this before, but I'd love a home theatre.


A laundry room with plenty of space to fold clothes and put them in baskets, so each family member can come in take their basket and put their own clothes away. I want the red electrolux washer and dryer set :) Another feature I'd like my laundry room to have the wash basin sink to soak stains.





















Some where in my house I want a doggie shower.  From the sounds of it we are going to have lots of pups and it would be nice for them to have their own shower and not get my other ones all hairy and scratched up! A specific place we can keep all the dog supplies would be great too.




Central Vacuum.


A roomy kitchen with bar seating and a formal dining room attached. I want to be able to have lots of people in the kitchen. It seem like that is always where people tend to gather so I want people to be comfortable.


Hidden outlets. Wouldn't one of these be nice in the kitchen on the island, maybe one the office. It would also be nice to have a few in the floor in the living room.


A bar where we can entertain and serve some home brewed beer among other things.

How cool would this be to have in the bathrooms!

 I want my home to be a gathering place. I want people too feel comfortable just popping over to say hello and have a drink. And where all my kids want to be and their friends always want to come over. I want to be able to have summer barbecues, birthday parties, Halloween parties, Thanksgiving, etc. I realize that all of those things have more to do with the environment then the things you have, and no matter what our home ends up looking like I'll always have the open door policy. But its also nice to have the space and equipment to accommodate :)

Day 27: Picture of a hobby I have...

Scrapbooking! I love having a movie or tv show on and sitting down with all my supplies and putting memories together in a book. 

Day 26: Something I Miss...

My family and friends!

I like branching off out into the world, but at the same time it is really hard to be away and miss out on things where I grew up.
