First post!

Jen and I decided to start a blog for our family home evening tonight to keep our friends and family updated. It will probably be much more interesting when we can stick pictures of kids, or even of pets, on here, but that may be a few more months away. As for now, we're just trying to keep our plants alive (1 out of 6 dying isn't bad). We spent the weekend trying to get back in shape by running at a local park here and saw "The Guardian" this weekend, which we thought was a great date night movie. Jen is loving her job at the pre-school, and I'm excited to be getting closer to the end of school. Jen's many burns are also healing nicely :) (from her fill-in job as a cook at work). And last Wednesday, LOST season 3 started, which gives us something fun to look forward to each week. Otherwise, we have also been looking at getting two cats, but we will probably wait until we get settled next year, so we won't have to leave a pile of food for the animals when we go on vacation! We're going to attach a few pictures from the past few months since most of our family haven't seen any of these yet. The first picture is of a rabbit that we saw at the Minnesota state fair. We're including it just for Hailey. It looks like an ewok from Star Wars. The second picture is of Jen and myself at Disneyworld at the Scifi Drive-In. It's a fun restaurant where you are in miniature cars watching a drive-in movie. The third picture is at the park where we run occasionally. New Orleans is really pretty this time of year; well, it looks pretty much the exact same year round! And the fourth picture is one that Jen took of me with a statue of the Mayo brothers in Minnesota.
