Happy Easter and a first check in!


Hello Everyone!
There are several of you I haven't seen for quite some time, so I imagine that my life is a mystery to you all!

A quick rundown of the past year:

1. Studied Abroad in New Zealand for a semester, which I highly recommend everyone go there. I argue it is the most beautiful place in the world, many will agree. I started dating another Iowa Stater who was over there with me, her name is Megan and we have been dating a bit over a year now.

2. Still attending Iowa State, now a Junior in Mechanical Engineering. I got an internship this summer at Xcel Energy in Burnsville, MN. I also applied to Huch Tech, so I could live with my awesome cousins Mike and Mindy for the summer, but Huch didn't get back to me fast enough..

3. Just had spring break, where my Dad (Buzz) made the bunny cake, as you can see in the picture. He is very proud of it every Easter he makes it!

Well that's really it for me, very summed up.

The Family now!

Dad: Still working for the Minnesota Retailers Association, which the legislature is under way now so he is a busy dog, very late nights! Sometimes till 11 or 12 at night!
Mom: Still teaching reading recovery at 2 different schools, split halfway thought the day. She also broke her fibula, which is the smaller bone on the backside by the calf. She had a plate and 6 screws put in. She is much better now, has a bit of a hobble right now (it's still a bit swollen, probably because she started walking on it again), but that will go away. She broke it by slipping on ice when she and my dad went for a walk back in early January.
Kari: Went back to school for Elementary Ed (graduated from U of M in 2005 with a BS in Chemistry). She is much happier with the idea of being a teacher than testing chemicals all day long. She is dating a guy, Justin, somewhere over a year now I think, and he works at Boston Scientific (Lisa's rival (she works at Medtronic))
Tait: Now a freshman at Iowa State (with me!), he has no major picked out, in LA right now. He's leaning some what to ministry or missions of some sort, so now he needs to decide what he wants to specialize in. He has been dating a girl named Hillary (she is from close to home but going to school in Georgia) and they have been together for a bit less than a year now. Perhaps a couple months away.

Well that is all I have, It's great to hear what everybody is up to!
Take care and God Bless!!
