DARN CAT

Cats! I hate them!!! So there is this stupid orange tabby cat in the neighborhood that when it is garbage day, decides to destroy and eat everyones garbage...so I called animal control. They came and set up a cat cage with cat food in it. Well the cat food wasn't exactly cutting it, so today I threw a pork chop in there and it snatched the cat. So I called the PD to come pick up the cat, however the cat was so crazy and flipping out in the cage it managed to push hard enough just as he was putting the cage in the car and the cat got away! DAMN CAT! So now we are back at square one all over again. So please pray that MR. kitty comes back to the pork chop and we catch him again. Only this time we will employ better measures to keep him contained. AHHHHH!!!

CRAZY

Well, life is going swell here in the wonderful state of Minnesota...EVERYONE and EVERYTHING is BACKWARDS! I tell ya...well anyways I took my boards but was a little late getting there, and in the process, fell and broke my foot! Hooray for Liz. So now I spend the rest of the summer in a cast, how wonderful huh...Hans and I both took our drivers license test today, we both passed however, Hans failed to mention the fact that you have to bring your birth certificate along with you, so I took the test and passed but have 30 days to present my birth certificate. Everything is going well, Hans works many many hours, and this weekend he is even lucky enough to work again. 1 day off...fabulous! Oh well such is the life of people with degrees so he says. However since I passed my boards I can officially start taking Intensive Care Paramedic Courses. Those courses start in August and go an entire year, so I will be a busy gal along with clinical and ride time as well. Other than that, not much else to say. Getting excited to be an Aunt. JULY 23 is the day the baby is coming so lots of fun and excitement coming up, despite walking/hobbling around in a cast!

NERVOUSNESS

Well the day has finally come! Liz is taking her EMT-B boards! 6 months of schooling and studying and taking care of crazy people on the ambulance and she finally gets to prove what she knows! She is taking her boards in Mason City; it was either there or Rochester and Mason City is much easier to navigate!!! So for anyone who reads this PLEASE pray that the LORD God watches over her and takes her through a very difficult test. She knows her stuff now she just has to enter it into the computer! Hooray for computerized tests...Right? Hans is keeping busy working every night and gets home around 1am, which is kinda sad, because we are not able to spend much time together. With Liz working in the morning and Hans working in the evening we spend about 2-3 hours together depending on the day! However life is going well up here, the weather is gorgeous, not to hot, not to cold, not a lot of humidity and the city sprays for mosquitoes at least once or twice a week which is a huge perk so not much to complain about. However laundry really takes up a lot of time. Especially when some days we both have two different sets of clothing. Oh well such is life, preparing us for when kids are around and the laundry gets 10x worse. Well not much else to say, not sure if anyone reads this but it is still fun for the both of us to do! Take care and we love you all! Liz and Hans

Cousins!

We are so excited! Liz's cousins are coming to visit today! Kristin and Kelly. They will be our first official visitors to our new house, however it is still very messy and torn apart....ahhh! Oh well at some point it will all come together!
