Minnesota

We went to Minnesota for my birthday... one of the best birthday ever! We went to visit my cousin Aaron at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. We had a day to kill before Aaron could pick us up so we spent it at the Mall of America and for the most part if you can believe it I did not buy a thing! LOL We mostly did all the experience in the mall... the amusement park, the aquarium, the house of mirrors (not my favorite) and alot of window shopping. When Aaron met up with us we had a blast we went to the Oxbow park in Rochester and saw a dancing porcupine! Aaron showed us around the Mayo clinic, all the great place he likes to eat and get coffee, we even managed to squeeze in a movie. We had a great home made dinner & breakfast by him and Brianne!

It is always great to spend time with Family. At the end of our stay my cousin Cody flew in for his spring break! It was great to see him as well! Heath, Shelby and I are so lucky to be surrounded by a wonderful Family.

 It was a great weekend next time we just need to take more pictures with Aaron!

 House of Mirrors

The Mall of America Aquarium  

This is the Ball I won at the typical carnival basketball game. I had to include it cause Heath and I made a bet. We each got 3 shoots...Final score Heath 0 Stephanie 1.

 Oxbow Park

Great idea.... Thanks Brianne

 Arron's favorite coffee place... cant remember the name but there was an ice cream shop next door so Shelby had to improvise :)

 We went back to the mall on our last day to eat breakfast at this little crepe stand... Shelby was very excited! They were really yummy

We love you Aaron thanks for letting us crash! 

We moved!!!

This was our first home we put so much love and work into this home it was hard to leave! Heath has finished his Master program and is looking for new opportunity, at his current work or in Cali, or over seas.... wherever a good job might take him. We also knew by the time Shelby was 5 and in school we needed to move.... So on March 25 we put our house up for rent with a rental company. they had people look at it over the weekend and we had 5 days to move! Heath said our move in date could be April 1st  and who ever it was took it!!! AWWWWWW it was crazy... but we some how made it through.

However, now we are back to Apartment living at least for a year :( there are some pros to this like I have a 5 min drive home instead of a 25 min and we are close to a pool, and less space to clean. But we are on the second floor, there is no back yard for Shelby or the new puppy to go to whenever they like, sometime our place smells funny depending on what our neighbors are smoking... its like that line from Aladdin "itty bitty living space"  But this is our home for the next year so we will make it as cozy as possible :)
