July!

I am behind on posting, which shouldn't be happening in the summer since I am home. Jon and I have been keeping very busy every weekend this summer. He is a quick recap of July

July 11th: MOVE! With the help of family and co-workers this went pretty well. We moved all of the boxes, furniture and loose ends within a few hours. Unfortunately it took me a lot long to unpack and organize everything. I am still not completely organized around here.

July 17-18th: Sinclair Lewis Days. Jon and I joined my family to hit up some of the local events including crazy days, craft fair, parade, and pie social. Here are a few pics from the parade:







July 24-26th: Camping. Jon and I joined Mark, Sue, Heather, Becci, and Grandma Susan for a weekend camping trip in WI. It was a nice relaxing weekend. For some reason I didn't take any pictures :(

July 31-Aug 2: WEEKEND AT HOME!!!! Jon and I are spending our first weekend of the summer in Arlington with no company and nowhere we have to go. The county fair is being held this weekend and it only about a half block from our house. So we will probably hit that up tonight and then we will finally have some time to get a list of stuff done around the house and yard... and hopefully time to relax too. Jon's birthday is also coming up on Monday, so I need to get a caked baked!

New House

Jon and I closed on our first home on June 29th. Since then we have been busy exploring the hope, packing, and painting!

Here are a few pictures of the house. I took the pictures after the painting of the entire first floor which my mom and I did in 4 days! So ignore the left over mess in a few of the rooms. The lighting isn't the best, but hopefully you get an idea of the house and the colors.
