26th Birthday

Well yesterday I celebrated my 26th birthday.  It started off with a trip to Wausau on Monday.  Hannah’s sister babysat Lauren so Jesse and I spent the day together shopping like crazy.  For my birthday Jesse took me to every store imaginable (I think he counted like 11) to pick out new bedding for our bedroom.  He was such a trooper that he even spent some time with me in JoAnn Fabrics.  (He got lots of points for that!) We had such a great time together and experienced Emma Krumbee’s for the first time for supper. 

We each had a really juicy hamburger, huge plate of fries and a milk shake.  It was really tasty.

As if that wasn’t enough of a day for Jesse to take me around to so many stores, yesterday he helped me repaint our bedroom to match the new bedding we picked out.  We now have a totally new design in our bedroom and I love it!  For those of you who know our past bedroom experiences you can rejoice with me that I finally like what I see!

Thank you Jesse for an awesome birthday!

Sandstone visit

This weekend we headed over to Sandstone, MN where Jesse took all the kids school pictures for the Christian School his dad administers.  Since we were there we also took some cheer leading pictures for the local public school.  Both are something Jesse has been able to do for the last 3 years now.  It is a lot of fun seeing the same kids year after year and watching how much they change.  While we were there we were able to visit with our good friends Chris and Kathy Nathan.  We are so excited that they are expecting their first child just a few weeks after us. 

Here is a picture of Kathy and I.

Here is a current picture of Reya for those of you who are wondering how big she is getting.  She is 5 months now and she sure enjoyed Jesse’s parents house.  Of course what dog doesn’t?  20 acres of freedom!

The Drackley Wedding

On Sunday Jesse and I were able to be a part of Herbie and Lisa’s wedding.  The two of them both work at camp in various areas and Jesse and Herbie have become quite good friends since we’ve been here.  In fact this was the first wedding that Jesse was a groomsmen in.  It turned out to be a beautiful day and we enjoyed sharing it with them.  Here are a few pictures…
