Zac and I have stayed just as busy as the squirrels in our yard these days! Since my last post, we have worked hard to get our basement ready for our house guest. On September 26 we met Julia, our new friend from Germany. Since the 26th we have been taking in as much of Minnesota life as possible by hiking, taking a boat on the Mississippi, making apple juice, and shopping. Julia is getting plenty of opportunities to practice her English, and we are quickly learning what a blessing she is to our lives. She is a joy to be around, and a better fit for us than we ever could have imagined.
I'll soon put up some pictures of our adventures together, but for now, know that we are happy and well!
