Visitors!

We can't wait to have Mike's family here the end of May! Mike and I are so excited to have family around! We will have lots to share of our fun time with them!

Spring is here....we made it through the cold dark winter!

It is May 5th and we are just starting to have temps above the 50's! Night time lows are still very low, but, at least the sun is shining now! Mike is finishing up his 2nd semester already and time is flying! I am loving work and being able to spend the weekends "touring" around the east coast.
January, Febuary, and March were freezing, and pretty much a blur of dark cold days and nights, lots of shoveling snow and fire wood are all I can bring to my mind now. Mike actually broke his foot in January, and so he was on crutches for over a month! He just barley in the end of April, got the screws taken out! That put a hold on the house construction and his usual active lifestyle. It was sad.
Kurt came out for a few weeks in April to visit and did all the plumbing for our master bath and re-did all the pipes in our house to 3/4 in. piping (they were 1/2 1n.). While he was here we went up to NYC for a weekend, to D.C and got a White House tour by Brenden! Thanks Brenden! It is so fun to see Taryn every once in a while too! She will be missed, but I can't blame them for going back to California! Mike and I had fun with Kurt here, he was our first house guest! Mike misses going to Sheets with Kurt!
Things are really picking up with the re-model and with Mike's research! He is doing amazing work and getting really far, quick. He passed his entrance exams early in March and now has a raise in pay and is working hard in his lab! I am still doing the same thing...but really enjoying it! Mike and I have made lots of friends here and we are starting to warm up to the east. Although, we still make plans for our move back west!
