Closed on the house finally :) Very excited as the house was appraised by the bank for quite a bit more than the mortgage.
- So, I can sell at a profit in 3 months if I need to. Nice to know there is already equity in the home.

New House Update
We will be closing on our house this month. FINALLY! Short sales take a lot of time, but are worth it if you can sit and wait for the bank.
Troy plans on putting in a horseshoe pit straight away & I plan on getting that hot tub going. It's all about the priorities :)
Pending having the spa guy come out and Troy digging the horseshoe pit, we will be hosting a House Warming/Thanks for Helping us Move (Again)/Engagement Party. Details on that shortly, but we are looking at a mid to late July party.
I'm sure there will be plenty of beer, fire, fireworks, hot tubing, horse shoeing etc.
Thanks in advance to all of your support this last year!

Megan's 15th Birthday
We started Megan's birthday celebration with "All You Can Eat Crab Legs" on Wednesday.
Megan ended up ordering 5 plates. I helped her stay on top of things by cracking the legs and making nice little crab meat piles for her. Delicious. - Crab is in direct competition with Lamb in my book. Hopefully prices & availability won't go up too much after this cluster F of an oil spill - Snow crab should be ok right?!
Megan has been saving all her $ for a new laptop. After straight A's this year, she really needs one! Her birthday cake was Tres Leches from Cafe Latte in St. Paul... "Three Milks" – sweetened condensed, cream and whole milk poured over rich sponge cake and finished with whipped cream and fresh raspberries.

Father Hennepin Camping
Father Hennepin Campgrounds
Our first camping trip of the year was at Father Hennepin on Lake Mille Lacs.
Due to a layover in St. Paul, we didn't arrive at our campsite till nearly 9:00pm Friday evening. The mosquitoes were TERRIBLE. Troy bought a backyard fogger and we were much more comfortable after that - check out the first photo of Sam's back to see the damage they did to my babies :( Poor kids were itching all weekend.
Glad to get back to tent camping for the weekend and looking forward to more s'mores and hot dogs on the fire this year.
