6 Years!

It is so crazy to think that it has already been 6 years since we made the move from Minneapolis to Philadelphia. When we moved here I had the mind set that we would be here for 3 years or so and then head back to Minnesota. I think having that idea in my head made me not want to get too close with anyone or get involved. But after the first year and a half Ben and I were in love with this city and the amazing friendships we have made. We can't even imagine life anywhere else at this point of our lives. (sorry mom:) Of course with Ben's PhD work coming to a close we aren't sure where we will move onto next so if you want to come visit us in the 'City of Brotherly Love' now is your chance. Hope to see you soon!

NYC/Philly with Kata & Nick

Over Labor Day weekend Kata and Nick came out to NYC for a friend's wedding and Ben and I were able to meet them there. On Sunday we headed back to Philly for the rest of the holiday weekend. It was fun to show them our favorite places in NYC and our stomping grounds in Philly. Thanks for the visit!

It was our 25th year at Lake McDonald this year! So many fun memories there. This year we got matching shirts and took fun pics to commemorate all of the years.

Fun in Minnesota

The weekend before we headed up to Lake McDonald we were able to hang out with the Brandenburg/Muhrs in the Twin Cities. It was fun to see our niece and nephew who are growing up so fast and spend time with family...

Bruce and Marnee's Visit

In the end of July Bruce and Marnee came out to the East Coast for a visit. We loved showing them around our neighborhood and then heading to the beautiful Cape May, NJ for 2 days of relaxing at the shore. Thanks for making the trip Brandenburgs!
