Quickly

I should be walking out the door to church, but I wanted to take a few minutes to update you quickly... here are the cliff notes:

+ Last weekend we assembled our baby's dresser
+ This weekend we assembled our baby's crib
+ In between our week was filled with ministry, meetings, and work
+ This week our niece also celebrated her 1st birthday
+ We had a nice day on Saturday walking around the Red River

We look forward to another week, of meetings, ministry and work. We also look forward to our friend's wedding, and a baby shower with family!

So I was told to Blog tonight, but I am not sure where to start. It seems that nothing much has happened in our lives these past few weeks, just regular life.

Last weekend we were privileged enough to share a weekend with our friends the Friedrich's. We met up with them at the prayer service of Leonard Dryer, where we got to hear about a man who lived his life as God would have wanted him to, spreading His word to everyone. The Friedrich's invited us to their cabin to spend some time fishing, relaxing, and eating. It was wonderful to get away, even though it was only overnight, and see friends.

We also made our first big baby purchase, actually I think that it really is our first baby purchase. We bought our crib and dresser. We feel lucky that we ordered it when we did, because both pieces are back ordered. We should get them in time for the baby though. Little Jesus will just have to wait until after the first week of November for the crib to arrive.

We also were able to receive our first visitors over Labor Day weekend. It was a short trip, but Calie's parents came to trade vehicles and enjoy (at least I hope they did) Steve's first sermon as a vicar. We toured the Fargo-Moorhead area, enjoyed some good food, laughs, and free mini golf.

After church on Labor Day weekend, we all headed out and Steve and I went to the Greatest State Fair in the world, yup folks, we went to the Minnesota State Fair. We ate our way around the streets, took in some lasso-ing in the coliseum, and walked a ton! It was great to be back at the famous Great MN Get-together!

By the way, I have not yet located the cord that connects my camera to the computer, so there has been a lack of pictures here. I hope to locate the cord as soon as I get back to my parents house to look for it.
