Hummmmm

Sorry I haven't posted in a really long time. I have been busy and tired. We don't have any new pictures but I thought I would do a quick update. Mark is finishing up finals this week. We are both excited for him to be done for the year, he has a long brake for the holiday. I have been busy with work and primary. We had our primary activity and program the end of November and were also asked to make a display of when Christ was born for our Stake Crech display. Every other year the stake donates displays of Christ being born from all over the world. It is a huge production. The display was for a weekend and on Sunday the whole stake cancelled Sunday school, Priesthood and Relief Societ, and primary to encourage people to go to the Stake Center and look at the displays. It was realy neat to see the different figure from all over the world. We are both really excited for Christmas. I'm especially excited to go to Utah to see my family. (I'm also excited to have a few days off of work :) ) I guess that is all for now. I will see you all in a couple weeks!!!!

Appartment

This post is for Jami. She has been asking me for months to post pictures of our appartment, so here they are. Nothing realy exciting or fancy. In fact when i told Mark that i was going to post pictures of our appartment on the blog he said "Why our appartment is a dung hole?".

Worst Blogger

I have decided that I am the worst blogger ever. Sorry I never have new posts. I really don't have much to post about anyway. We didn't do anything for halloween. (We are such bums) We had a ward halloween party, but were in the kitchen pretty much the whole time. The primary was encharge of the activity so i put Mark to work. Really the only other exciting thing going on in our life is MORNING SICKNESS and i don't know how exciting that is. I pretty much feel like death most of the time. We are really excited though. The due date is June 21st.

Duluth Camping Trip

These are some random pictures of our camping trip. We drove to Duluth (about 2 1/2 hours) after I had work on Friday and camped there Friday night. We were the only ones in our camp ground area. It was really fun. Saturday morning we drove around Duluth and Two Harbors and walked to some light houses along Lake Superior. It was a nice relaxing little vacation. Mom, notice the Duluth train I'm standing in front of, it is the train from Ticket to Ride.:)

Renaissance Festival

Mom this Picture is for you!! I still get the giggles over that night.
Mark and I went to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival this year. It was quite the experience. About 60% of the people there were dressed up. We were expecting that the people at the shops and at the shows would be dressed up but even the people coming to the festival were dressed up. Man, some people really get into these kinds of things. There were some really strange people there. (For any of you who have been to BYU and have seen the sword fighting and crazy dressed up students at night and on campus you will know what i'm talking about) It was fun even though it was different than what we thought. We went to the Joisting show, which was really fun. The nights were fully dressed in armor and did the whole joisting thing. It was pretty cool. Some of the other shows weren't that great with with crude and nasty humor, so we skipped the shows. There was an elephant and camel there that you could ride and juggling club and different crafts that kids could do. It was a fun date.

Summer Activities

We finally have a computer now!!! So i thought i would up date the blog with some pictures.

These pictures of us biking are in Utah. In one of the pictures dad is fixing mom's flat tire while i'm trying to provoke the buffalo by throwing a rock at it. (actually the buffalo was so far away that i didn't even get near it with my rock. Plus i throw like a girl. I think i only made it about 3 feet.)

One evening Mark and i were bored so we made little people out of medical gloves. Mark did a little skit with them. It was hilarious.

These are pictures of us playing Disk golf. Our new past time hobby.
One weekend that Mark was home from his clinical we went to the Science museum. We got to see the Body World displays. (dead bodies that have been plastified) It was fascinating.




Mark's Birthday. I made him a key lime pie. I'm putting this picture on because i'm proud of my pie. I'm not much of a cook but this pie turned out really good.

This is me right before my 1/2 marathon. It was the best race ever. We ran through meadows, trees, around a lake, in and out of neighborhoods, and on the highway.

Mark and I went to a Minnesota Saints game (baseball). It started raining right before the game started so the game was postponed for and hour. It was kind of exciting although we ended up leaving a bit early because everyone around us started smoking.

More Murder Mystery

Mystery Dinner Theater

Mark and I are in Utah right now. We have had lots of fun haning out with the family. Friday night we went to a Murder Mystery dinner theater with Mom and Dad. It was a lot of fun, we got to be part of the play, which made it really fun. Mark was healed by an exorcist because he was possessed by evil spirits. I got to dance with the reverand.

Life is BUSY

I decided that it is about time to do a little update, but in all honesty there isn't whole lot going on. Mark is now home which is beyond exciting, unfortunetly it isn't just fun and games there is still work to do. I'm working a full day (8:00am-6:00pm) and after work something always comes up. This first week that Mark has been home we have gone home teaching twice ( I went with Mark because his companion couldn't go), which is not just a 30 min ordeal, there are talkers around here, Mark went out with the missionaries one evening, I have a presidency meeting, On sunday I had another Missionary corrdination meeting to go to, tonight Mark has scouts, Sunday I have meetings all morning. So.....things are still busy. At least i can see Mark even if we arn't exactly doing recreational type activities.

I think am about due for a vacation!!! I'm feeling very overwhelmed with work and primary. Although times seem to be hard i'm sure that i'm growing and becoming stronger. Sorry my blog is really boring, for those of you who don't know our computer crashed about a month ago while Mark was in Sioux Falls, SD. Until we save up enough money to buy a new one my blog will be just words. (which is alright what would i post? pictures of my desk or my primary agendas? ) :)
