Fall is here!

I wasnt great about updating the blog over the summer!
Since the last post here are our updates:
Anniversary- I planned Saturday July 31st as a suprise day for Jeremy. I planned a day in Taylors Falls. We went and spend the day hiking and sight seeing. It was wonderful!
Sunday morning we woke up and JEremy was suprising me with the plans for Sunday, our anniversary. He got me in the car and wouldnt give any hints where we were going. Well, we arrived at Stouts Island Lodge in Wisconsin. At first the parking lot he pulled into looked like a run down shack, no kidding, he even had a nervous look on his face :) Then we found the ferry we boarded and they took us to the island. The place was wonderful! Very relaxing and fun!

I had a friends bachelorette party and wedding in August and we ended the summer at Breezy for Labor Day weekend.

I started grad. school over the summer. I am getting my certificate in addiction studies so I can become a licensed drug and alcohol counselor. I finished one class this summer and am currently taking two more classes. My plan it to tie it in to the social work masters program that I will be applying to this fall to hopefully start next fall, they have a long waiting list!

The company that Jeremy works for was bought by an investment firm. So fare changes havent been noticeable and arent expected on a large scale. Jeremy is doing more estimating with fewer project manager jobs.

Jeremy's parents and Brad and Kate are coming to MN to visit the second weekend in October, we are very excited! The house will also hopefully be finished by then ;) We started in on the basement. So far we had everything torn out. My dad and Jeremy got the ceiling put in this week. Jeremy has the bathroom almost finished. Yet to be done is the walls need to be painted, ceiling, and carpet. It will SO nice to have it finished.

The Finley update: He is probably about 45-50 pounds. He isnt very tall but growing. He has a habit of going into the shower and eating the soap! THe only side effect to this that we have noticed is that 1. we got through soap more often and 2. he has very strong smelling DOVE breath. He loves the dog park and playing with the other dogs!

Well, I think that is all for now. I PROMISE that I will be pictures updated this weekend. There will be lots, check them out!

Hope everyone had a great summer and is having a great start of the school year!

XOXO Kristin and Jeremy
