precious times

I'm back in Minnesota this week for my best friend, andrea's wedding which is on Saturday. I've been having so much fun and been able to see so many friends. It has been a full year since i was back last time for gabe and my wedding. It hasn't seemed like a year- until I saw my nieces. Jewel and Anika have grown up so much in a year, its amazing how fast we grow when we are young. We have had a blast playing many games: hopscotch, teeter toter, swinging, going to the zoo, hanging upside down on the jungle gym...

Dad and I went fishing yesterday and got many bites but unfortunately we didn't get any fresh fish to fry that night. It was great to be out on the lake again though. We saw 5 bald eagles and a juvenile loon that was eying our large bait.

I love fall in minnesota. It is absolutely beautiful and allows you to enjoy hot coffee, which has been awhile for me to do. One thing i've observed from living in arizona is that i feel like it has made me "packing dumb". I never pack enough warm clothes for up here, or it may be that i no longer own warm enough clothes. In arizona it's always sunny and warm - not so much the case else where in the states and especially in the fall of minnesota. So lucky for me my parents allow me to store warm old clothes here and i'm using those more than i always think i would.

I' have fun pictures I'll post once i'm back in arizona, so check back.
