Life as I know it:

Here's a little update!

Yesterday was our four-year anniversary! Wow, I can't believe it has been four years already. It seems like just a year or so ago. But on the other hand, I look at the places we've been since our wedding and it seems impossible that we could have fit it all in four years. We've built a house in Rogers, lived there for two & a half years, I've been to Europe for the first time, we've both been to Mexico twice and driven across the country, built another house in Crystal that we didn't buy, lived in an apartment in Minnetonka, bought and remodeled a house in Richfield, and have been through a whole array of emotional growth. Wow.

I have also decided to get back into making clay figurines (cake toppers, holiday ornaments, etc.) for an extra financial boost. In doing so, I have started a new website. It's not much right now, but I'm working on building it up more. If you want to check it out, it is www.YouInClay.com.

On the kickball front, we have been invited back to the playoffs! One of the teams dropped out, so the league looked for a team who did well all year, but left playoffs early... that's us! So we will be playing one or two games this coming Monday, and possibly one or two more the week after! Woo hoo! Go Balls!

So that's about it. Nothing too crazy or exciting, but just a little update about what's going on with me recently. Thanks for reading!

The Season Closes

Playoffs for kickball started last night. We lost. It was a very close game, and a valliant effort... but we lost, a dissappointing end to a strong season. The final score was 2-3, with two extra innings. It really was a great game. Very tense. We may have a "for fun" game next week, but the jury is still out as to how many people want to play. The fall season should start in a few weeks and it sounds like we might have a change in the line-up, as some people from last fall want to come back. We'll see though - that's not an official declaration.

That's hot.

Last Monday's kickball game was rained out, so we will play this coming Sunday to make up for it. Yesterday, however, we played in the sweltering heat. The heat index was 110 yesterday, and humid. But it was fun, and we won! Ten-runned them, to be exact!!

It did rain early this morning, though, and is much cooler today. We had a run of almost a week of weather in the high 90s - a few days were over 100. It's still gloomy outside, although still hot & humid. It's supposed to rain through tomorrow, which we really need. Anyway, hopefully Sunday won't be quite as hot!
