That's not a waterfall... That's a WATERFALL! ;-)
Title courtesy of my friend Angie!
It's been 9 days since my last post! Holy smokes!
Well, besides enjoying a fun girls weekend in Duluth last week, not much has been going on! We did some hiking at Gooseberry Falls (yes, I was in flip flops. My excuse is I wear work shoes all week long, my toes needed to come out of retirement!) It was more of a casual hike... Enjoying some beautiful views. We ate a delicious lunch and enjoyed a beer (or few) at Black Woods Bar and Grill (a tradition for Rich and Me when in the area - so I shared the goodness with my gals). Then got ready for a night on the town... which turned out to be one bar and Pizza Luce (holy garlic, Batman!)! GREAT TIME!
Isla is doing very well with her nightly eat, play, sleep schedule... Occasionally rolling over when she feels like it... Enjoying her new pink, rotating jumper roo...
Everything is peachy, including........
HOUSE HUNTING! Yup, Rich and I have officially taken that step to purchasing our second home! We are looking more in the Jordan area (beautiful of course)! Close enough to work, but far enough from hussle and bussle! And we have family there - Mike, Elena, and Joey!
Our beautiful and talented Realtor Melissa is being so patient and awesome with us! Saturday we are doing our BIG house walk-through tour... I believe a total of 6? Or close to that. We are looking at one not in Jordan, however... A cute little rambler in Mound. As you can see we are very excited!
Rich and I are looking forward to our BBQ dinner with Jacquie and Todd tomorrow. They are our super fabulous daycare providers by day, and fantastic friends by night!
That's all for now!

Run Swords Run!
This last weekend was very monumental! My husband, Richard, ran his very first MARATHON (26.2 miles)!
Each year his dad Dick, sister Jaclyn, cousin Leah, and really close friend Melissa all run the Twin Cities Marathon. This year he decided to run it with them (checking it off his bucket list)!
During the race, Jaclyn's boyfriend Matt, their mother Vicki, Isla, and I drove from point to point to cheer them on. Isla wasn't enjoying all of the driving, but she was SO GOOD when we were out of the car! ;-)
We saw Mel and Leah run by us at the start, but not the Swords group. We did see them at the 5 mile mark - they just didn't see us! Then we had a good amount of time until the our next mark, so we enjoyed a cup of coffee at this super cute cafe near Hiawatha. After our coffee we went to the 15 mile mark to meet them. They looked GREAT! Jaclyn's knees were hurting her, but she did so well!! We gave them some hugs, kisses, and some sports beans and they were on their way!
From there we had to hop on the highway and head to the finish line at the state capitol. We met up with Leah and Mel who had finished already, and cheered on the remaining runners coming in.
It was so exciting to see Rich, Jaclyn, and Dick run by us at the finish! They looked great and happy to be done, too!
Rich promises to run one last marathon with his sister Becca - but then he's done (or so he says)! We'll see! ;-)
GOOD JOB all of you! I'm so proud!
