Small Towns/Weekends

I love small towns! ...Though not too small. Jason and I have had so much fun these past two weekends. It's been great just getting away from the Cities for a change. This past weekend we went up North to Bemidji and had a great weekend spending time with my dad up there. It was a busy weekend and Jason got bit by a spider and we both got mesquito bites, but we had a blast nonetheless. We got new furniture!! Dad makes this amazing bent willow furniture that sells for a lot of money at Nature/Log Cabin stores and we got a gorgeous chair as a gift from him along with two beautiful inn tables and twig signs. Only God knows how we were able to haul all these things to the Cities yesterday in our car! It was funny because we strapped the chair to the roof of our car. We must have been a site. But yay, our apartment is more filled up with beautiful stuff! Sooo exciting :)

We decided that as soon as we are able to get our loans paid off (which is our aim right now), then we are going to move further South, hopefully to a smaller town and warmer area. THEN we may start thinking about having kids. But that'll be a few years out :) I love where we are in life right now but I have realized that I strongly desire smaller town living. Nature is beautiful and people tend to be nicer and more down to earth.

Of course, time will only tell how jobs come and how life will play out, but these are tentative plans for the future, God willing. This coming weekend we are headed to Rochester to visit Jason's family then perhaps we'll have a weekend to ourselves :)
