Another thing I never had a chance to write about was our trip to the Boundary Waters!  While my brother Luke from Hawaii was in town, we decided to head to the Boundary Waters to relive our childhood.  We gathered a group of 6 people and headed up into the great wilderness.  The weather luckily cooperated the whole time with only a few little issues.  The head wind was the major annoyance, which made it feel like you were sometimes paddling on a treadmill.  We found the campsite of our dreams which is where the picture attached is from.  It was a beautiful escape from reality and I think my arms are still tired…

It’s extremely nice not having to drive very often from where we live.  There was a span of 3 days last week when I didn’t even step foot in my car!  I think the Subaru is feeling a little neglected, but it still didn’t give me any trouble when I cranked it over this morning.  Conveniently there was also a Christmas tree lot right across the street from our complex! Kate and I picked up a tree and had it inside within a half hour of leaving our door.  I will post more pictures of the apartment as soon as I can.  Thanks to everybody that contributed in our move.
