Trip to MN...

Here are a few pictures from Jeremy and I's trip to MN. We had a blast. We traveled Non-rev and the flights were great! We even got business class on Air Tran on the trip home. So cool! We were totally exhausted from all the running around and lack of sleep, but it was a great trip.

Poor Jeremy. He had to meet so many people and that was just my mom's half of the family. He met: Dad, Pat(brother), Pete(brother), Sara(sister), Mom, Grandparents(3 sets), 4 aunts and uncles, 4 cousins, and 2 second cousins... whew!!!

So today is the first day of the winter schedule for me. 0530 am to
0730 pm! Long days, 3 round trips and you all know I don't like
getting up early. It went ok and I'm feeling good so far.

On the needles:
I am working on my first pair of socks! I took on dpn's and toe up
socks!! It is going fine now that the toe is established!!! I am also
finishing a baby blanket. Also going to cast on some mittens and baby
sweaters... Its getting cold and I really am feeling the knitting
bug!!!

Getting ready to move in a week or so.... Just down the road to a
little chalet on the rockland harbor. Its a bit set back from the
water, but still a great view!!! Very excited!! Woot!!!!

I am going to try and update the blog more often!! I am excited for
the packers Vikings game tonight and the twins and tigers game
tomorrow night!!!! Woooohhhhooooo!!!!!

Summer Summary:

I am dating a phenominal man, Jeremy. Here is our first camping trip.


We had a great time camping and have hiked all over Mid Coast Maine. I have had one of the best summers ever. He is truely a phenominal person and enhances my life in so many ways...

I have just recently got my knitting mojo back. It was a great summer and i spent so much time outside, i didn't have time to knit!! But it's getting chilly and I am knitting more and more. Starting to learn about socks and if I want to knit socks... I like it so far! :) We'll see. I'm gonna hit up the Knit Picks 40% off book sale... Got a great surprise in my paycheck and I'm gonna treat myself. it's been a hard summer financially, so I'm gonna get a little treat!! I'll try to update more often!!!
