We're back... sort of

Well, it has been several months since I updated this blog and I thought today and I close the book on one chapter of our families life I would start a new chapter.

Today, we sold our beloved home in Minneapolis. We all loved that home and have so many cherished memories. I think it is hardest on Rylee as this was litterally the home she grew up in. But all we can hope for is that the new owners of our home will love it as much as we did.

I have added a bunch of pictures from the last 6 months. They are in random order and for that I am sorry. I will try to e better at updating this blog as I know it irritates my father when I don't.

Update: Kim is trying to manage the most stressful and challenging career move he has ever made. But he is brilliant and I know that he will get everything ship shape soon.

Update: I am working as a consultant for Hawkins Inc. I am also aggressivly looking for a new job her in California. I really don't like working from home. I need the office atmosphere. Gunnar is sick of me always talking to him. He just wants to sleep. I am also trying to put this house together. Moving anf furnishing a new home is very expensive. Right now I am concentrating on Rylee's room. I think it will be fabulous one I have it complete.

Update: TJ, as most of you know, is on his first deployment in Bahrain. We are very fortunate that we get to talk to him a lot as well as skype with him and Rylee at the same time. Dad, we will have to schedule a time with you where you can get in on one of our group Skype sessions. Mom, time to invest in a computer. In true TJ fashsion, his living condisions are not quite what you would expect for someone who is on deployment. TJ is staying in a 5 star resort. He has a cleaning service and if he leaves his clothes on his bed, the maid service will pick up, launder, fold and return. He has a penthouse spa with a steamroom, hot and cold tube as well as swimming pool. Can you believe it?! However, upon reflection, I think if any deserves to stay in a five star resort, it would be thouse that are serving our country. I think his time will come when he will have to stay in the tent city. LOL, good luck kid.

Update: Rylee is in college in Virgina and is working her butt off. She is not quite sure what she want to declare as her major but she is leaning toward an art history major. Possibly becoming a curator in a great gallery or even a museum. She is going to stay at SVU for another year and get her associates and then she will transfer all her credits to a university in California. We are so proud of her and she has just blossomed in her new surroundings. She will be home in just a few short weeks and I can't wait. She wants a laid back summer lounging by the pool or at the beach... not going to happen... she will be looking for a job. But I think she will be able to have plenty of time by the pool and at the beach.

Well, that about sums it up. I will try to do better with our updates.
