Finally

Well Brandon and I finally had our house warming party! After being in there for 5 months and working our rears off! It is still a work in progress but we have come to far! I must say I am proud of what we have been able to accomplish! The party was a great success! We had so many friends, family, and co-workers show up! The day started at 12:00 and ended at around 5:00. People just kept on coming and coming and we loved it! We got the best surprise I think I have ever had, except of course when Brandon proposed! Our family from Minnesota showed up! Kara came with her mom, Maida and Skogen. I was in the kitchen and I turned around and the minute I saw Kara I started crying like a little girl and couldn't stop. Oh man, what an awesome surprise! Skogen is even more precious in person! That was the first time Brandon and I have seen him since he was born in January. We are pretty sorry aunts and uncles. But we will work on it! The weekend just got better and better each time we got to see the kids! I love them to pieces and wish so badly they lived closer. I must admit that I was surprised that Maida knew who everyone was down here! She knew all of our names which I know made Brandon and I feel good! Erik and Kara have done a great job making sure Maida knows her family even though she doesn't get to see us much. Even though we had a great time with them, we wished that Erik could have come down. But hopefully next time he can make it! I want to say a HUGE thanks to everyone that came and made this day fun! And a special thanks to Kara for surprising us!
