In other Torkelson news, we have been super busy with our families over the holidays and loved it. We got to see my sister's boys who are 3 1/2 and 3 months and are both adorable. We also got to spend some quality time with the rest of my family who really take care of us when we visit. Then we had Mesha's immediate family over to our house for Christmas day. It was a ton of fun to have everyone to our "new" place and have some see it for the first time. I know we are a little late with that whole thing since we have been there for like six months now, but it was great to finally have everyone there. Finally, we got to spend a couple of days with Mesha's extended family in Brainerd, which is always very relaxing!
We are both lementing the return to the grind. I start school again this next week and we both are finding ourselves really worn out by all the fun we have had the past two weeks. I am 30 now, so I suppose I can't go as hard as I used too, but I am still going to try because I figure the younger I act the younger I am, right?
The final update is that both Mesha and I have been desiring a puppy lately. There are some pretty big obstacles to this happening though. First, we can't have one over 20 pounds because of our association. Second and maybe more importantly, some of Mesha's family is allergic to dogs and can only be somewhere with dogs for a short period of time.
We have been trying to figure out if this would be a major problem or not, since we don't have them over a ton???? Also, don't want to be insensitive to those family members though. Finally, ideally said puppy would be adopted for cheap or given to us for free!!! Any thoughts on the puppy thing??? (I know what you think Chris, so you probably don't need to comment!!!!)
I hope I do this more in the new year, so check back and if you really want to here from me, let me know. I usually will update if I know people actually want to read it.
Blessings on your new year!
