A BUSY week

Well, it has been quite some time since I have updated my blog! We have been quite busy. I will try to get you up to speed....
Eric has been very busy farming the last couple of weeks. He has been working for a farmer who he use to work for a few years back. As you are all probably aware, farming is an all day everyday event. Therefore, Eric and I have seen very little of each other. Our time that we have had together has been wonderful! Oh yeah, since hunting season, Eric has decided to grow out a beard. Check it out...what do you think? :)
Not only has Eric been busy farming, but we have been busy with a fun-filled week!
Last Tuesday Eric and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary! It has been an amazing 2 years. I can't believe how fast time goes. It seems like only yesterday we were getting married. Eric got out of the fields early so we could spend the evening together. We went out to dinner and then did a little shopping after. It was a great night!
On Wednesday night I went to my 2nd annual "Wednesday before Thursday." Katie's boyfriend Russ hosts this event. It takes place in St. Cloud at Duck's Pub Bar and Grill. We go there for wings, beer, and a fun night! And a fun night it is!!!
On Thursday morning I made a trip down to Shakopee to visit Rachel, Brad, and their newest addition to the family: Finley Dana Hove. She was a precious little girl! I can't believe how tiny she is. She is absolutely adorable! I was glad I got to meet her! Rachel and baby are both doing great and Rachel looks wonderful!
Thursday afternoon we celebrated Thanksgiving with Eric's family. It was such a great day! We hung out, played games, watched movies, and ate lots of yummy food! Roger, Jesse, Jake, and I got in a mad game of UNO. We played for about 2 hours before I finally won! At times, I think we all had 20 cards in our hands:)
On Friday I spent the day cleaning the house and putting up the Christmas decorations! I absolutely love this time of year so I was thrilled to get up all of my decorations!
On Saturday we had my family Thanksgiving. We made the trip down to Owatonna for another delicious Thanksgiving meal. I don't get to see my mom's side of the family very often so it was great to spend time visiting with them!
Saturday evening we had Mark and Laura's wedding! It was a great night to celebrate their special day! It was a fun evening and we got the chance to see a lot of friends that we haven't seen for a while!

A picture of some of the girls with Laura!



Eric and I!

A great week! Busy, but fun!!!!

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Thompson

This past Saturday, we celebrated with Nathan and Tina as they became Mr. and Mrs. Thompson! It was a beautiful day for wedding. Couldn't have asked for better weather in November! Not only was the weather beautiful, but so was the wedding!

Nathan looked very handsome and Tina looked incredible! She was an absolutely beautiful bride!!! Nathan and Tina's colors were red and black which was very sharp! Everyone looked very nice. And it seemed perfect for the season we are entering into.

All of the Chap sister's together to celebrate the big day!

Kyleah and Aubrie! They both looked like little princesses! So cute.

Me and my adorable little niece Madi!
Congratulations Nathan and Tina! We are so happy for you! We are so glad to get a wonderful new brother-in-law and niece. Many great years to come!!!

Trick or Treat

Eric and I always look forward to Halloween and seeing the cute little trick-or-treaters that come to our house. This year, we had some awfully cute little kids with great costumes!
We were visited by our adorable nieces and nephews: Izzy, Jack, and Nick.



Nick had to trick-or-treat without his sister this year. She was not feeling well. Poor little girl. I missed seeing her!
Kyleah had a great witch costume! Wow, she is getting tall!


Eric's cousin Tess made an appearance at the house as well. What a great costume!


On Friday night, Eric and I got together with the Remme's for a Halloween get together. We had fun getting Carter all dressed up for the occasion.
Here he is in his monkey costume...how cute!


He spent most of the evening in this cute little pumpkin get-up!


Lily even got dressed up for the occasion...a little hot dog...how clever!


I love Halloween! So fun to see the cute kids (and dogs) in their costumes!
