Trip, Stumble, Fall... It's taken a trip to Minnesota, a stumble through new friends, new places and a new job to bring us to a colorful Fall in Minnesota. As always we've stayed busy, so I haven't been able to update the website in a while, but here's just a little taste of what we've been up to. [All photos from Sept. 28th - Oct. 9th] |

Sever's Corn Maze G. had another great idea when he found out about the Sever's Corn Maze in Shakopee. You show up and they give you a map to find clues throughout the maze. This was more fun than I had realized, but the boys had to do it their way. Anais and I went off frolicking aimlessly through the maze while the boys stayed committed to their maps. |

Sever's Corn Maze (cont.) Above, you'll see the hay-maze that everyone runs on, in and around, and it is actually tons of fun. If you notice in the aerial photo, you'll see the hay-maze in the bottom-left portion of the picture. The corn maze is HUGE! Every year the maze is changed to create a new image. To the right, you'll see Anais in the corn maze. She's grown so much in the last year, it's amazing! |

Girls Night Out [Carly, Katey, Gina] Okay, every now and then, the girls need a night out, and what better night than the season opener of the Minnesota Wild! We went to the Eagle Street Grill, which is literally a stone's throw from the arena, to watch the game and have some drinks. (I can't believe I just wrote "a stone's throw," that's so Minnesotan!) The more fun I have, the more I slack on capturing the moment in photos, so thanks to Katey for sending in this one! |

Minnesota Wild The season has officially begun for the State of Hockey. Yes, the Minnesota Wild are off to a great start, winning both of their first 2 games! This couldn't have come at a better time, since the Twins were swept by the Oakland A's. I have to admit this girl still has some love for the Bay Area, and I'll say it now, I'm rooting for the A's all the way! |

Gina and Jason's BBQ Once again, I'm slacking on the photo-taking. Luckily, Katey was there again to bail me out. We only got a couple of photos that night, so you'll see Katey to the left and Greg and I below. That night G.'s sister gave me a Minnesota Wild jersey (I'm wearing it in the photo). She works for Wildside Catering, so she's got some good connections! Thank you Gina! |

Greg and Carly G. looks good in this photo, but I wouldn't say this is my best shot. Oh well, I think we have enough photos of Carly looking cute to last a lifetime. G. and I have had some major changes in the last year, but I wouldn't change a thing. Everything that happens makes you the person you are today, and I'm alright with that. Thank you G.! |

Meet Kurt Busch [Carly, Martin (co-worker) and Kurt Busch] My work had 5 invitations to meet former NASCAR champ, Kurt Busch, and I got one! Now, I'll admit...I'm not a NASCAR fan, but an entire restaurant (The Lodge) was rented out to meet this guy as he talked about a sponsor (Newpage Inc.) that I work with, and I wasn't about to miss that. It was pretty impressive. The entire lodge was filled with maybe 100 people and he was a good guy. I shook his hand and had a quick conversation with the man, and I left thinking he was alright. Hey, it was free beer, free food, autographed calendars, and pint glasses for everyone. |
