Odds and Ends in Minneapolis

First thing is first: It has been a crazy few weeks of unpacking and getting things installed! Here is the scene of the kitchen unpacking:

We went about 3.5 weeks without blinds, but we finally have the perfect blinds in our house. Hooray for not having to change in the bathroom anymore!

 A week or two ago, I got to go with Matt, Clayton, and Lydia to a Timberwolves preseason game against a team from Moscow. It was a fun event, and it was great going with these great basketball fans. We caught 2 extra large t-shirts. Perfect size for Clayton and Lydia! Unfortunately, we had to leave before the end of the game, which turned out to be okay since it went into overtime. It probably isn't going to be a promising year for the T-wolves, but I've never had a hometown team to cheer for!

 In other news, I ran into the Oscar Meyer Wiener truck at work! That was a great accomplishment.

We also took a trip to Minnesota's Largest Candy Store last weekend. That place was great! It had all kinds of candy from all over. We got some homemade Root Beer Licorice, some chocolate, and four different kinds of Root Beer. The place had 121 different kinds of Root Beer! There were also nun's all over this place-- we caught them buying candy cigarettes. Those rebels!
