On May 25th I flew up to Minnesota for a quick visit with my family. It had been about a year since the last time Phil and I were there. Unfortunately this time I had to leave my Sweets at home! (This was the first time we had been apart for any length of time, but somehow we survived!) I flew into Minneapolis a little after 11 PM and was so excited to see my Dad and Ryan.

We spent Christmas this year in Findlay, Ohio with Phil’s family. We hadn’t been to Ohio since Thanksgiving of 2005, and the whole family hadn’t been together since Christmas of 2004! It was nice to have everyone together, and Mom was finally able to get the family picture she’s been wanting! We posted some pictures from our trip, so feel free to check them out.
