I just noticed it's been 4 months since I last updated so I figured I better fill you all in on our summer. It has been quite a wild one. We've been staying busy doing lots of things. In June we finally got to go to the Taylor Swift concert. We had such a good time! You can't beat 4th row seats! Well I guess you can, but I'm not complaining. We were literally right next to the stage.
The same week of the concert, Lara had her 3rd dance recital. It was such a busy week for us. I didn't get too many pictures because we couldn't use our flash, and I also wanted to just watch it instead of spending the entire time getting pictures and missing the dances.
She also was in soccer for her 2nd year this spring, and improved a lot from last year.
We also went to the harness races in Forest Lake back in June. That was a lot of fun, and I came out ahead for once.
We got bad news a couple months ago that my dad has cancer so we are all trying to stay busy having fun and staying positive and hopeful but it has been a very emotional summer. Last week the girls and I went to Fargo with my parents for the Pyrotechnics Guild International convention. We saw lots of cool fireworks that you don't get to see anywhere else. This week we are heading down to Milwaukee with them to go to a Brewer game and hopefully to the zoo. My brother, dad, and I also made it to a Twins vs Brewers game last month. That was my first time at Target Field. It was a lot of fun! Of course, we left early because it looked like the Twins had the win but the Brewers came back and won, and we missed all of the excitement!
We "officially" moved in with Henry the end of April. By officially, I mean got the rest of my crap that I don't use out of my apartment in River Falls, which we hadn't stayed in since last September. Things are going great over here, and we're actually going to be moving again, hopefully soon. Henry is in the process of buying a different house, so we're just waiting for that to all go through. We can't wait to move! He opened another restaurant in Stillwater in the beginning of April, and the new house is MUCH closer. Lara will have to switch schools, but since we're still not living there she will most likely start 1st grade at her old school, which I am kind of happy about. I had a hard time when Kindergarten ended because I loved her school so much. I'm glad she'll be able to see her friends again, and get to say good bye to them once we do move.
I am now sitting on a waiting list for the Medical Assistant program at CVTC in Eau Claire. I will start next fall and be done spring 2013 if all goes as planned. I was bummed at first about having to wait another year to start, but now I am happy that I can spend this time with my family.
I think I covered most of our summer so far. Here are some other pictures from the past few months, in no particular order.

That's about all I can think of that we've done so far this summer. I will do my best to update more frequently after this! Have a great rest of the summer! Oh yeah, Henry bought me a snowmobile a couple weeks ago. That kind of scares me. I've never driven one before. I guess I'll have to start! See you soon!
