Hey look! She updated her blog!!

Well, it won't be too much of an update, as I'm a little short on time. But I thought since I haven't updated in... um... how long has it been?... that I should just put a little something down.

Basically, I'm getting busy with summer stuff again, because the frost has broken from our dear Minnesota soil and I've come alive again. Ahh, the glories of a sunny day!! Flip-flops are dusted off, bicycle tires are refilled, and the grass seems more green than has ever been possible before! It's fantastic!!

I'll start with the note that this past few months have been terribly busy at work - and by terrible, I mean that I am ever-greatful that I have a job that I love, and my company has a reputation that provides much sustaining business. That said, it almost killed me. And it's not over. But I can handle it. It's a little easier now that the sun is out longer. The part that nearly killed me was that we decided not to go on a vacation to a tropical climate this winter. Never again. That's all I have to say about that.

Now it's Spring and lovely! The spring kickball season has begun and "Jerry's Kidz" still reign undefeated. Okay, there have been two games and the last team was tough. But we're still fighting! Go team!

Also on the adgenda is a major curb appeal project, to be done in completion by no later than June 1st. To consist of: even out grade with topsoil fill, arrange patio stones, lay new sod, "beef up" porch posts, paint mailbox, fix porch light, new storm door, new house numbers, potted plants, landscape lights... and whatever else we can squeeze in by then, in addition to cleaning out the garage. It will be a feat, but it WILL be done. By. June. First.

June 2nd we are hosting an anniversary party for my parents. This will be 15 years for them, and my sister and I decided to throw them a party. They will renew their vows, we'll play yard games and have a picnic, then have a rowdy karaoke party! It will be great!

This August will also be 5 years for Dustin and me. We planned to go back to our honeymoon spot - Bluefin Bay on the North Shore, but it's a great place, people love it, and they will apparently now pay rediculous prices to stay there. But not us. It's sad, as that was (barely) the only thing that was getting me through this winter without a vacation. So we'll see. Maybe we can cook something else up...

So that's me right now. Thanks for reading, and I hope you are all enjoying the beautiful weather!!
