Six Years!

This blog has been off my radar since Mark's accident but finally we're getting back on track!

Since our last update Mark has been put back to work as of July 7Th! His foot has healed almost completely with no major scares and is able to walk, play volleyball, and as he says "NO RESTRICTIONS". It did take over a month to get to back full use of his foot, but after patience and lots of healing cream he's good to go. So again thank you for all that have helped made this go smoother than we thought it would.

Now off of that subject, can you tell we're SO OVER IT! lol I will put a few pictures up of some recent outings and really now we're able plan for some more fun activities after last month was up in the air of how our summer would be.

4th of July we spent the weekend up at Fairview with my parents, family friends, and Holly. This was our first time away in 4 years since we haven't been in Stillwater and truthfully we didn't miss it that much. Technically the 4th of July was the day Mark and I started dating six years ago, so a getaway was awesome! We got to Christen the Fairview Floater by jumping in that cool water and enjoyed two days soaking up the sun on it. My Dad and Joe did canoeing with doggies and we all really enjoyed the beautiful 75 degree sunny weather. My Mom and I soaked up the sun with Mark while watching the Parade of Boats on the 4th followed by an evening of lots of fireworks around the lake. Mom and I marched around to patriotic songs on the deck, it was a rather interesting sight I'm sure!

Since the 4th we have been trying to plan upcoming visits to friends around the state and camping opportunities. Mark is back to playing volleyball and man is he a man on a mission. After a month off and where we play the competition is rather harsh. Last night he had a good taste of how much we as a team have improved and now he needs to get back on board too. So this will be awesome to see him back to being active again.

As Mark and I have had our share of bumps since June we haven't been able to do any camping alone yet this summer so this weekend we're going for it! Our six year anniversary is July 26th :) next weekend and it's of course Lumberjack Days in Stillwater. This annual festival always keeps our weekend full and therefore don't get to really celebrate it on the actual day, so this weekend we're outa here! We're heading to Glen Hills in Wisconsin, it's a campground with a Golf Course, beach volleyball, lake, etc. It's a place where my family brought us every summer growing up. It's so inexpensive and it's a really well kept County Park.

We've got the anticipated wedding of the summer, our oldest friend Dan Schultz is getting married on August 1st. Mark is in the wedding and we're so happy to celebrate this in just a few weeks.

Check out the pictures of our latest and hope all are doing well!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US! Six years my gosh!

XOXO
Mark & Sara
