Polk County Fair--Here we come!

I know that I haven't written in a while, so it is definitely time for an update. I have plans for more things to write, but for now, we are happy to say that we have bought tickets to come home to MN in the summer! We will be there for most of the month of July. This means (to Yaminah's delight) that we can now say, "Polk County Fair--here we come!" Although Yaminah is excited to go to the fair to go on rides and see animals, etc., I know that she is also excited to come home to see everyone who lives there, family and friends. She talks about her grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and even everyone's pets by name. :)

As for me, I am also looking forward to coming home, as I am sure Tomas is as well. The Fair rides no longer appeal to me (how in the world could Stephanie and I have ever wanted to go on all the scariest rides?! Now even swinging on a swing makes me queasy!), but the hope of seeing friends certainly does. (Not to mention the need for an Oofda Taco :)

So, for my friends and family back home in frigid Minnesota... hopefully this note finds you well, and helps you look ahead to the hopefully warm and sunny month of July. Although we do not know our plans for the rest of the time, we do know for sure we will be in Fertile for the time of the fair. Will we see you there?
