Life in general is good.
Oh you want more? Ok. well let's see...
Heather and I are doing well. We're actually coming up on our one year anniversary at the end of June. We're thinking that we are going to celebrate by using the gift certificates that my parents gave us for Christmas. They were certificates for the Minnesota Zephyr in Stillwater, MN. Here's the website http://www.minnesotazephyr.com/ I've been on the Zephyr before when i was little. I guess it's a 3.5 hour train ride. It should be fun.
Let's see just after the last post in October, we had a Halloween party with Heather's friends from college (hereafter referred to as "the Katie's"). Heather and I went as cowboys. Next year I'm going to plan ahead and get my CTS costume ready in time for the party.
We (Heather, Pika and I) spent Thanksgiving with her mom and step-dad. They live in Sioux City, Iowa. Don't feel bad if you don't know where it is, I didn't know either. We had a great time though, despite the long and very boring drive along I90. They have 2 dogs who feel in love with me, as all dogs do. We also ended up seeing "Walk the Line" that weekend. Terrific movie. If you haven't seen it yet, stop reading now and go rent or buy it, watch it and then come back and continue reading. No seriously. I'll wait.
Back? Okay then.
In the world of construction and house progress it's been an interesting spring. Harold messed up his left elbow a few months ago and hasn't been able to do much in the way of lifting and such. As a result I got to help out a bit on the farm. I think that my willingness to help on the farm shocked my mom. Now it's not that I would choose to shovel cow crap around all the time but there are times when it has to be done. Actually I don't think the farm would be a bad place to live. Heather would die there though. She thinks New Richmond is rural (which it is to a degree).
Right now Heather and I are trying to plan a camping trip this summer. She found a state park in WI that looks cool. You have to take a ferry to get to it. I think we'll have to leave Pika with my parents though as the park isn't very dog friendly. We've looking at buying a new tent as well. Well I would like popup camper but I don't think that's an affordable option at the moment. Last year we used Heather's tent which pretty much has just enough room for my queen size mattress and nothing else. I'm looking at a couple of the Coleman tents right now. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to email me via the contact link at the bottom of the page.
