Apartment Search

This weekend we set out to find an apartment in Fargo. We drove up to Fargo Friday night and started to take in the sights. We were out for dinner and then checked out the mall Down the road.
After a night on the town we went back to settle in at our hotel. The next morning we were set to look at 8 different apartments. But that wasn't necessarily in the cards.

Appendectomy

When we got back to the hotel Ty was having severe pain and we had to find an emergency room. After many different tests, the doctor finally decided to take out Ty's appendix. At 4 am the doctor removed his appendix. That meant I was going to be searching for apartments while Ty recovered. The search was over after looking at just 2 apartments. I chose the first one I had looked at and I was able to go back to the hospital to be with Ty. After being awake 36 hours straight we were on the road heading home, short an appendix but with a new place to live. Ty is doing well. He is still in pain, but he is taking it easy. Hopefully, Ty will be ready to help with moving in 2 weeks. It's coming so fast! So much to do, so little time.

How Far(will we)go?

As many of you know, we have been really trying to get back to the Chippewa area. It's been hard to do that. Ty has been on the job hunt and finally had a major breakthrough. We affectionately call it a "big boy job." Sadly, we have had to debate throughout this process how Far(we will)go for a job. Well, if you haven't guessed by now, we will be moving to Fargo, North Dakota. Ty was hired on at Xcel Energy as a Gas and Electric designer. This has all been a whirlwind and we are saddened and excited by this news. We are looking forward to starting out in a new city and trying to make it our home. We are sad to be leaving so many friends and family behind, but we know we are doing what is best for our family in the present and for the future. If anyone is looking to spend some time in a windy subzero climate, you are more than welcome to come for a visit! We would love to have you!

In other news, Eli as been growing like a little weed recently. He is 7 months old now! Where does the time go? He starting to crawl and is a smiley little guy in the midst of teething. Eli loves eating avocado and enjoys playing with cousin Judah whenever he gets the chance. Mommy loves taking his picture and playing with her smiley guy on the floor. Since we will be moving, I will try to be more timely with my posts.
