Well as I sit here and type this, it is -17 and falling. When I talked with Diane today she said that it was too hot to be outside down in Florida!!! I love living in Minnesota, but this seems a bit drastic....thank god we have a warm home to live in. I spend most all of today in the car...I had to go to Fergus Falls to get a new splint for my TMJ...bootsie thought my old one was a snack! My Mom and I went and looked at invitations for the wedding after that...fun! So much to choose from. I think we have them narrowed down to 2.

The camera crews came yesterday to film Mom (Nurse Nancy) for her award. She has been chosen Care Giver of the Year in Minnesota!!!!! What a wonderful honor. Can't wait for the ceremony to cheer her on (maybe shed a few "proud" tears too!). I know that there is 2 Grandmas in heaven who are watching and could not be prouder!! They would burst! I could too. She deserves this more that anybody I know. I will post pictures from the ceremony which is Feb 8th.

Bronson and I went to Fargo yesterday and we registered for wedding gifts. It was an interesting day, and I think we picked some good stuff. It was kind of fun to shoot that little gun at ANYTHING we wanted. We are registered at Target and at Kohls.

The Ferrier came today to give Bill and Mike and Barbie a mani/pedi. It was kind of interesting to see how he does it, and to learn a little bit about their feet! Bootsie enjoyed it too...she took the trimmed stuff and I think she ate them....gross. The Ferrier said that they are full of good stuff though....I think I'll just take his word for it....gross.

I have added the pictures that Bronson and I took with Elvis in Nashville. We were able to spend the day there when we were in Kentucky for Cory's grand opening. Very cool city...we would love to go again. We also went to the Country Music Hall of Fame. That was neat.

So....since Angie and Bonnie are so good about keeping our families up to date with the goings on in their families....I decided I should too. I am going to try this out and see what I can do.

2007

2007 was a busy year for us. We spent another week with Dennis and Diane in Florida....both of us managed to get very sunburnt, and it was great!!!! I love our trips to visit them, it is so relaxing and so beautiful there.

In May Bronson and I made the BIG move in together. We moved into an apartment here in Park Rapids. It was huge and the move was quite and eye opener into how much "stuff" we have.....two grown people, two totally furnished homes....makes for ALOT OF JUNK!!!!! We still haven't quite weeded through everything. Since May, we have moved again, into the farm! We did remodeling and painting and made some changes to the house, and we are loving living there. It is nice that Bronson is right by the horses...he truly enjoys being responsible for the horses and helping Dennis out with them. We even got to go on a few hay rides...so much fun!

In June we got engaged! I have waited my whole life for this, and am so happy and ready to be a wife! We have learned alot about each other in the past 6 months, and I think we are ready to start our life together....and my parents are so happy to be getting Bronson as a Son in Law, and that I have such a wonderful person to share my life with.....so the wedding plans started. June 21st 2008 will be the big day.

In July my cousin Charlie married Andrea in Duluth at Spirit Mountain. What a beautiful day it was, and it was a blast! Our family is so very lucky to have Andrea in our huge family! She fits right in, and I know that Susie and Tim are having fun with their new "daughter," Kayla loves having a sister, and I think Ryan likes having another girl to pick on!

In October our little family grew. We adopted a dog from the Humane Society. We now are the "parents" of a Black Lab mixed with something else that we aren't sure of. Her name is Bootsie. I saw her and she reminded me of Grandma Boots and Grandpa Boyd's dog Pooper, and since her name was Bootsie, she had to come home with us! It has been interesting....she is such a good girl and is getting used to her new home, and is coming around and is coming out of her shell....we are having fun with her too.

Also in October we suprised Cory and the kids for his grand opening of Gander Mountain in Kentucky....so much fun and so good to see all of them! We even got to be there for Ashley's birthday....she was beside herself. We got to be up close and personal with the O.C. Chopper guys....cool. Cory has a very cool store, although the accent he's "acquired" is strange to hear... he says my accent is stronger! I can't wait to see them at the wedding. It's hard having them so far away. The kids get bigger and older everyday, and I'm very glad that Mel keeps us posted and up to date so well.

So.....as you can see, 2007 has been a busy one....lots of changes! We got to spend alot of time with the families that we love, and spend time with our nieces and nephews which makes us happiest. 2008 is going to be a busy one too......We'll keep you posted!!!!
