We love you Papa Good!

Papa, we know you are not feeling that well and we wish we could share each day with you. You are in our daily prayers and take comfort knowing that God is by your side. We want to dedicate a song to you that we heard in church a few weeks ago and continue to hear on KTIS. The link is below. This is for you Papa. We love you!

7 Yr Anniversary

Yesterday, Dave and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary. Our lives have been so incredibly frantic and stressful lately between selling our home, seeking out a new home or a rental for the interim, overwhelming work responsibilities, Dave's buildings and potential new renters, marketing SlimGym, school functions and projects, track for the girls, baseball for Dylan, our dear Papa Good's illness and time at Mayo and the thought of starting to pack. Dave and I have both said if we can make it through this period of our lives, we can make it through anything.

We are incredibly grateful for each other and took time to celebrate our marriage and take in dinner and a movie last night. We had put an offer in on a home yesterday which we didn't think we would get due to our luck lately in real estate. But while we were dining, we received a text from our realtor "Congrats Home Owners - Happy Anniversary!" It was such an amazing blessing and gift from God and such perfect timing! It truly gave us even more reason to celebrate. We are super excited and even get to move in without having to rent and move twice. What a relief off our shoulders.

When we arrived home, we found on the kitchen counter a card the children had made for us along with a bouquet of fresh lilacs from our lilac trees. It was a perfect ending to an amazing day. God is SO good. And the smell of fresh lilacs throughout the house is a reminder of His true beauty.

Dance Season Finale

Lindsey and Taylor had a fun dance season. They thoroughly enjoyed sharing it with their favorite friends, Aimee and Ella, as well as Khloe and Samantha from their Kindergarten class. It's hysterical watching them dance around the house but also seeing them perform. They sure like to shine! We love Just For Kix and look forward to another season next fall. Below are some photos as well as a video of their finale performance at the end of the photos.

Easter Memories

Easter has been here and gone but the fond memories live on. We made a short trip back to North Dakota to share time with lots of family and a few dear friends. It was so nice to have my sister, Jill, and her hubby Joe , my niece, Brandi and her beau, Adam, and their sweet little princess, Lilliana, in town all the way from Denver. We cherished a few short days with them as well as with Papa and Grandma Good. We also got to share quality time with Papa and Grandma Kemmet and Papa and Grandma Clark. We dyed Easter eggs at Grandma Good's with Uncle Ken and his girls, Faith, Anna, Jordan and Sarah and went on a grand Easter Egg hunt at Aunt Helen's, where we got to see my Aunt Mac and my wonderful cousins and their children. In addition to family, we also got to spend time with a few close friends. It was a whirlwind trip but so worthwhile. LTD didn't want to leave and keep asking if they can stay in North Dakota this summer. They love being around family as do Dave and I and it's always hard to say goodbye.
