Excuse Me

Excuse Me Mother Nature....but I think you have the wrong season!!!

I just took this picture a few minutes ago. It just started snowing like crazy here about 2 hours ago. We are almost to the middle of April. We are not supposed to be having blizzards. We are supposed to get over a foot of snow!! No Way!! When it was winter I wanted snow but now that it is Spring....I would appreciate some Spring weather. What happened to April showers brings May flowers??? There is no part in that saying that says anything about SNOW.

We are supposed to be enjoying days like this. Be able to go to the lake and relax. Not shoveling off the sidewalks and driveways!

So I am officially saying it....mark this down....NO MORE SNOW.....until next winter, then it can come visit again. So Mother Nature....could you please fix the seasons and bring us spring weather instead of winter??

BACK TO SCHOOL

So long Spring Break....Hello Spring Quarter. So another break come and gone. We started our Spring Quarter this week. Once again we have all 3 classes the same. So nice to know someone in the class. Also, always have some one around that can help with the homework. We are still going to St. Cloud on Monday nights. Only 9 more classes over there and then the rest will be online.

Lately I have been dreaming about being done with school. Things job wise have not been going the greatest lately hence the dreaming. But by this time next year the dream will be a lot closer...in fact it will be in reach!!

So we have been having serious talks about the future and where it will bring us. Right now...it is looking north! But time will tell.

But for now....it is time to hit the books! Study, Study, Study....

SAVE ELY

I'm not sure how many have heard but Ontario is trying to buy our awesome town of Ely, MN. For those of you who have been there know that it is a town that you automatically fall in love with when you first arrive. It is such a cute, rustic town. Also know for Dorothy's Root Beer....yum yum. Anways, I found a petition that has been started called Save Ely. You can sign the petition by going to ely.org

For those of you who know this town know that we don't want to see it go. For those of you who have not been there, they are recommending you go this summer before it is gone. If you don't plan on going or have not been there, please sign the petition anyway. I don't want to see it go. It is one of the only places left in the U.S. that has this kind of wilderness. Why should we sell it to another country. I will be totally bummed if it is moved to Canada.

Sign the Petition.........The choice is yours!!!

Weekend Project/ Birthday Present

This past weekend we took to dad's shop and made ourselves a new end table and a new coffee table. Last week was my birthday and mom and dad gave me a gift certificate to menards. So we decided to build ourselves some new furniture. I'd say it turned out pretty nice myself. So nice to get rid of the coffee table from the 70's.

It is so nice to have a shlef under the table too. David likes to leave his school books scattered all over the couch.....maybe this will give him the incentive to put them away or at least on the shelf so someone else can sit on the couch.

So we are finally on Spring break. Well, it's actually almost over. We had 2 weeks off. We are now almost to the end of week 2. Next monday night it is back to school starting quarter 3. We are both proud to say that we have 4.0 GPAs....which also means we made it to the Deans List again. YAY!!

Well that is all for now.
