Our Trip!!!!




As many of you know, Andrew and I went to the Boundary Waters last week. We just got back last night. It was a blast!!!! We had a lot of mishaps i.e. the camera fell in the water and is now broken, we lost the knife in the lake and Andrew had to clean the fish with a dull axe, we ran out of yummy food, and then ran out of food altogether, and we each have about 150-200 mosquito bites, no exaggeration. But it was so worth it! We had so much fun! The Boundary Waters are beautiful! It was such an awesome experience to just bask in the Lord's incredible creations. The whole trip was very physically demanding with all of the rowing in the canoe, and the portaging (getting out of the canoe and carrying everything while hiking to another part of the lake to avoid the rapids). But it was a very nice break for the mind and the soul. :) We loved it and definitely want to go again. Next time we'll do a few things differently now that we have been there once before. :) So so so so so so fun! We totally recommend it, but be prepared! Since our camera broke, we do not have any of our own pictures, but I searched and found pictures on the internet that are very similar to what we caught, saw and did! :) ( By the way, the fish in order from top to bottom are Northern Pike, Small Mouth Bass, ans Walleye).

Handy man



While Andrew and I have been preparing for our Boundary Waters trip, we have been realizing that we desperately need to organize our storage closet. We have TONS of stuff in there so Andrew decided to build some shelves to help us organize efficiently. It was fun! I only helped a little bit, but I learned a lot! He learned a lot also. :) It was difficult to maneuver the thing over the couches and through all the stuff in the storage closet. We both needed to lift and carry it, and I was able to do it, but barely. I'm not as strong as I look. ;) But it was worth it. Yay!

Puppy hungry





So, I have a lot of time to think these days. And actually.... even when I am supposed to be concentrating on something, my mind is often elsewhere thinking about anything and everything. So please excuse my randomness. Anyways, I am not currently baby hungry. However, I am puppy hungry! Someday I hope to have a big dog like a lab (I don't care what color) and a small dog like a beagle or a yorki or something. (Andrew likes yorkies and pugs). :) And here is where the random comes in, I have names picked out already. I would like to name our dogs JackJack and Walter. Weird I know. I have fun thinking about stuff like this. :) Anyways, that's all. Our blog was getting boring so I thought I would share my latest thoughts. :)
