Which is Algonquin for "the good land."

This past weekend we went to Milwaukee to see a bunch of friends that we haven't seen in forever! It was a blast getting to catch up on what's been happening in everyone's life. Seeing how people and places continue to change and grow even when you're not there. All in all, it was a great weekend. You never seem to truly realize how important it is to see your friends, until you haven't seen them for years.

We have been struggling over going to Texas for Thanksgiving. We thought we were going to be able to go, and then we ended up being short on funds. I know that Elsa really stuggled with this because she has a real close connection to Chad and Erin, and we've never seen Maddie yet (in person that is - keep posting the pics guys). And then there's Josh and Sarah (I always forget if it's with or without an "h"). I haven't seen them since before I was married I think. After last year's trip to Texas we really wanted to make it an annual thing, but it doesn't look like we'll make it, at least at Thanksgiving.

I'm hoping to have some pictures of our trip up by the end of the week. We'll see how much energy I have to actually do that as the week rolls on. Time to get back to the grindstone. Adios!
