Coon Lake (Scenic State Park) Hiking around MEA weekend
We toasted to my late Grandfather Clinton "Buck" Johnson
We listened to our favorite gospel/country, wore his hats, drank good beer, played cards, and had a cracklin' fire in his honor.
We headed home early because we're the biggest Vikings Fans!!!
October has been here and wow we've really enjoyed it! Last month we did our crazy trip to Las Vegas visiting our friend but of course came home to our house that flooded a week prior.
The remodeling process is going well! We've sheetrocked all the ceilings, walls, kitchen, and even bathroom. What comes next is trim work, taping, and then painting! Hopefully we can get this completed by November so we can put carpet in our hallway upstairs, stairway, and dining room. Not to mention our bathroom is getting a face lift!
It's a lot of work but we're handling it or shall I say Mark is handling the construction well as he is doing the beginning stages of it. As always so much goes on in life, but this time we're taking the higher road much quicker! The new look to our house after being there four years will give us a fresh new look for 2010.
What other news...oh I turn 27 on November 1st...I'm pretty modest about my birthday usually because I like to escape as it follows Halloween. This year we're doing a chili/turkey Vikings vs. Packers bash!! I'm really excited for Halloween (mark isn't as much for dressing up) but we're going to have fun in a couple weeks here. This weekend I'm heading to Milwaukee for my Zumba Toning Sticks Certification with my friend Annie. I've managed to swing a great hotel room & water park package to keep us entertained! Should be interesting being a kid again with alcohol involved!
*News Flashes:
*Mark went on the annual fishing trip he had a blast-we're going to eat the fish this week!
*I went to Bemidji to visit Samantha while Mark was fishing, watched her play in hale-like conditions in Bemidji brrr*
*We would like to send lots of prayers to Mark's Grandfather Jerry Thompson as he had some medical scares prior to the fishing trip
*Just this past weekend we went to Round Lake to close out the Fairview Floater-we hiked, we had fires in the cabin with cabin hats, we ate, and we slept it was awesome!!
Other than that...we're doing great the storms are calming and life as we know it is a remodel, it's great!
Best wishes to you all!
PS Hugs & prayers to all of our family (Aran & Nicole) and my Godmother Dorene for chemo treatments this last week!
Sara & Mark
