Memorial Day Weekend 2008

I fondly refer to this group of wonderful friends as my "Bethel Roomies" - we spent four fun years in college together at Bethel. Three of us still live in the Twin Cities, and the other three live farther away, including Wisconsin and Colorado. We have seen each other through our undergrad days, graduate school, career transitions, relationships, marriage, and children, and we'll continue to be there for each other for years to come. We were fortunate to coordinate our busy schedules to get together over Memorial Day weekend this year at the beautiful Bergstrom family cabin in Brainerd, MN. All six of us made it for a fun girls weekend, and we even had the pleasure of meeting the two newest members of our group, Katrina and Janine's new baby boys. To be honest, I think the cute little guys stole the show! Lots of laughing, eating, catching up, playing games, fun on the lake, and relaxing - just what we needed for a nice weekend of reconnecting. I love these girls!

It's a...

Julie is pregnant! This is a picture of Julie's 19-week ultrasound (5/7/08), and we found out that it's a... girl! The baby is due on October 2, 2008. This is especially exciting news because we had two miscarriages in 2007. We feel incredibly blessed.

Our first blog posting!!

Well, I guess it's about time that we started a blog... so here it is. Julie and I will both be updating this as much as possible, and are excited to finally get it going - we've been talking about starting a blog for a long time now! This is a great way to share some stories and pictures from our life with family and friends. We hope you enjoy this little peek into our lives.
The picture above is of Julie and I when we were in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in early January 2008 over our Christmas break from school. Julie's sister Kristi was with us on the trip, and we had an awesome time together. For us, nothing beats sun, the beach, and the beautiful ocean. We will be going back to Cabo next June of 2009 with both sides of our family. We can't wait!
