Fall in New York!

Our first three months in New York have been wonderful!

Fall here is truly beautiful!

Things are going well for us and we are getting acclimated to our new surroundings!

Mike and I enjoyed watching the The Orangemen play football in the Carrier Dome on Halloween.

Our journey to our new home....

We crossed 7 States to get here... and it all pretty much looked the same...

farmland... some flat, some hilly.
But ALL beautiful.
We drove 1,375 miles in two days.
Chicago and Cleveland were the two biggest cities we drove through.
We had good roads and great weather.
Here are some pics from our journey...

We are all settled into our home now.

We stopped by the Liverpool Country Club yesterday. And interestingly enough, it's only $20.00 to golf there! So needless to say, Mike is pretty happy about that! The course looks to be in really nice shape too.

There is a really nice lake less than 2 miles from our home.
Lake Onondaga.

There is also a small marina.

There is a really nice track that runs along the lake that people use for roller blading, walking, running, that sort of thing.
There is also a really nice park area there.

We went for a walk in our neighborhood the other evening.


There are many trees throughout the entire area. On our walk we came across a few nice wild flowers as well.




















We have enjoyed setting into our new home and are meeting some of our new neighbors. Right next door, there is a family that moved here from Sweden two years ago. We've also met a few other families that live here in our court. They have all been very kind and helpful in our adjustment to living here.

While we miss our life, family and friends in Fargo,
our latest adventure has been good so far!

We're here!!!

We had safe travels! All is going well!

Pictures are soon to follow!

Getting Ready For The Big Move!

Hello everyone!!!

We are getting very excited for our upcoming move!

We've got the movers, cleaners and maps all lined up!
Our new home has an outdoor pool that I foresee we'll make great use of! :-)
It will take us 3 - 4 days to make the drive. We plan to stop along the way and
enjoy ourselves and what each area has to offer.

In the mean time, we have been enjoying the summer!

We went to visit a friend and they did some golfing. I walked along.

We went to two VERY GORGEOUS golf courses!
The wild life and scenery was amazing!
The weather was rather impressive as well!

And the lounging after golf.....





So as you can see, we had a really great time!

We also had the wonderful opportunity to gather with family a couple times
since the wedding as well!

First, we had Adam's 1st Communion / Confirmation.
A wonderful day filled with the 3 F's ~ family, friends and FOOD!

We also celebrated the May Birthday's on this day...
Alex and Susie











And we celebrated Gina's High School Graduation!
Gina is pictured with her fiance Allan
We visited, played a lawn game and ate lots of really great food!

Alex celebrated his 17th birthday May 2nd!!
Our summer, so far, has been fun!

Next on the list of things to do ~ Derik's 21st Birthday!!!

Stay tuned!
