Twins Game

For my birthday Vahn and I went to watch the Minnesota Twins play. We even got to see Joe Mauer hit an inside the park 3-run homerun...it was pretty sweet!! We ended the weekend by visiting his brother Ben and taking him out for lunch, then made our way back home.

My Birthday!!

Friday night I started celebrating my birthday with my parent's and Vahn. We went out for supper at Sister Sarah's in Algona. After that we decided to play some miniature golf. Everyone had a blast!

Texas Road House

I got to start celebrating my birthday a few days before with some good friends from Fort Dodge, Darci and Kyle Bangert. I met up with them after work at Texas Roadhouse for supper. The first two pictures are not the best of me but they got me on a sadle and sang happy birthday to me. I was pretty embarrassed!! It was a fun night out!

Moving into Wesley

Here is the house that I will be living in while I am working in Algona. It's a nice home but could use some updates in the yard and in the house. This is the home my mom grew up in and where I spent a lot of time with my family. We have a lot of great memories here!! As you can see in my pictures I see have some work in getting it decorated.

The back yard!
Another view of the back yard...a lot of grass I have to mow.

Luckily I have Vahn to help me!Picture of the living room. Very excited about my new furniture!

Wedding in Vinton

Last weekend Vahn had a classmate get married in Vinton, Iowa. Since this was the town he graduated HS from he was excited to show me different places in town. I had the chance to meet some more of his friends which was nice to put a face with the name finally. We stayed with his sister Erica and her fiance Doug. We also got a chance to test our golf skills Saturday morning with a game of best ball vs Erica & Doug.

Our Trip To GA

Vahn and I recently took a trip to GA to visit my brother and two of my cousins Andi and Dixie. The first day Vahn and I had the morning to ourself so Vahn and I did a little hiking at Amicalola Falls State Park. It was more work then we both expected!! Rest of the time in GA we went tubing down a river, Vahn and Adam went to a RV park, went a Braves game, and did some site seeing. We both had a great time and can't wait to go back and visit!
