Girls' Weekend

In mid November three of my good girl friends and I got together at Rebekah's family's cabin in Bemidji. We all worked together at Bluewater the summer of 2007 and have remained good friends since then. We had so much fun just catching up and laughing a LOT! :) Pam recently came back from her YWAM (Youth With a Mission) around the world trip and so we were so excited to hear about all of her adventures and lessons learned throughout the trip.
We tried being "creative" with these jumping pictures and laughed very hard throughout the process of taking them. (Leah, Pam, me, Rebekah)



We thought this twisting tree was so interesting. Crazy how it just wrapped around itself. It was so beautiful by the lake, and being it was autumn the changing leaf color added even more beauty.

A Visit Home

The week before Thanksgiving Tom and I made a visit to see my parents. We pretty much just hung out, as well as visited with our friend, Alex who is new to the Roseau area. My dad really enjoys taking pictures with his tripod, especially in front of vehicles, thus the two pictures shown here.

Roommates

I have been blessed, throughout my college career, with great roommates. This year I live with Lisa (just below me in the door picture), Ashley (below Lisa), and Jill (the bottom). We have quite a bit of fun together and hang out a lot. All three girls are music education majors at NDSU, so I'm the odd ball as an early childhood education major at MSUM. They still let me live with them. :)

Red River Run

On Halloween morn Leah and I ran the Red River Run 15k (9.3 miles). We were very nerdy and dressed up as Robin and Minnie Mouse. :) We had a great time, though, and were thankful for nice friends and fans for coming out and supporting us....those two people include Tom and my roommate Lisa. :)
It was a perfect day and a very beautiful run through Lindenwood Park.

Bison Pride?

One might think that I am a supporter of Bison football. This is not true, however. I have been to two of their home games over the course of two years. I'm a Moorhead State Dragon but I can't say I've ever been to a Dragon sporting event. Maybe I'm just not into sports that much. Yes, this is true.

Anyway, Leah had a FREE ticket for me to go with her and her dad to a Bison game (and they LOVE the Bison!) so I went. It was more of a chance to hang out with one of my best friends, and it was good.

The Sweetest Little Chicitas

I have just the greatest time with Kajsa and Greta! This past week we've enjoyed multiple walks with the nice warm weather, some time in the sprinkler, playing hospital, store/restaurant in the playhouse, coloring, and play-doh! We are never bored.

Stretching Summer

Last Saturday Tom and I made a trip to Buffalo State Park. It's only twenty minutes away, so we thought it'd be good to take advantage of a park in the area. It was an absolutely beautiful day and quite warm. We appreciated getting out of the busy city and just being able to see more green. This is a summary of what we saw.
