Lovin' Life

The other day I was writing e-mails and Mike was reading scriptures on the couch about ten minutes later he was sound asleep. I loved that he feel asleep with his scriptures standing upright. He is so adorable.
Everything is extremely green in Minnesota. I love the climate here. In every neighborhood there is a nice lovely pond or lake. Now I know why Minnesota is the state of 10,000 lakes. Lakes are everywhere.
The other weekend we went to a Minnesota Twins baseball game vs. the Boston Red Sox. Considering I do not understand a thing about baseball it wasn't to bad. We had a great time.
Our apartments are built between two ponds. There are geese everywhere with goslings so we decided to chase the goslings and momma and papa goose kept hissing at us. We decided to finally leave them alone but they are so cute.
Brandon and Sarah Ritchie found a turtle and brought it over for Mike. We named him Nerdle the turtle. He lived in our bath tub for a day then we moved his to a cardboard box. After a few days of staving Nerdle we felt bad and let him go in our pond.
Mike is standing next to our company truck that is parked next to our rival Plunkett's Pest Control.

A new look

I decided to get a fun summer hair cut thinking that it would be really warm here in Minnesota but little did I know that it was still winter here. Our first week of selling was quite an adventure. Our first day was bright and sunny, followed by a day of light rain, then the next day was a heavy rain storm and then the last day of the week when you think it couldn't get any worse it started to snow. Fun times! A funny story of the week was when Mike tried to walk through our sliding door thinking it was open. He ended up hitting his forehead really hard of the sliding glass door and the rest of us in the room ended on the floor laughing so hard. Those darn doors they just look invisible when they are clean.
