Quick Recap


Hard to believe nearly a month has passed.  A quick recap:

After the joyful visit from Hub's family, the sisters Kohrs and a token Kovar came to visit at the beginning of the month which much adventuring and delight to ensue.  Late night coffee runs, free pastries, “beach” and “ocean” time, Cranford, bats, pastries, bookstores, and more.  Epic!


A few quick loads of laundry, and hub and I were off for Kansas by way of a night in the Midway terminal to vacation with the other Kovars.  Colorado bound for Rocky Mountain High and Aspenglow we trekked through many dead cornfields to spend a few nights in the castle at Glen Eyrie.  It was incredibly magical, but you’ll have to take my word for it as I took a picture-taking vacation as well that week (side note: the more creative sister Kovar will be posting much joy on her blog...)

Then back to Kansas where I got to meet my gloriously wonderful nephew and reconnect with my family.  Finally, teary goodbyes aside, I boarded a train bound for South Bend, discovering that Amtrak makes a pretty pleasurable way to travel—my recommendations folks!


That brings us through the month.  Now hub and I are back in the Bend staring down schoolwork and real life—so grateful for the month of family and friends!

Give Me Oil in my Ford


Prepare yourselves for what may feel like a very whirlwind post.  Things have picked up speed here in the Bend and we are enjoying the fun of the new city and our first visitors!  These days we are celebrating my birthday, 6 wild months of marriage, families in town, and Studebaker cars.  After the break you can see all the fun in picture form as we all know that pictures are worth a thousand words.  It will be easier to show you what life looks like from day to day than to describe it.  We are so fortunate.
