This one's for you, Ethan!

JJ and I finally made it to Minnesota after our delayed and canceled flight and enjoyed some quality time with his cousin, Ethan, his wife Anika and their girls. JJ is pictured here with his little cousin, Amelia Mae. (Hi Amelia Mae and Ana Marie!) This post is dedicated to you, Ethan because of your encouraging words about our blog. Thank you for your commitment of following "Life is Sweet." :) A golden star is awarded to you. :)

We had a great time with some college friends who we miss dearly and are now waiting for my Mom to pick us up and visit "home" for a couple days. :)

So, while we wait we're enjoying the sunshine and musical sounds from Panera.

Stranded

Today JJ and I headed for the airport, bags packed, ready to visit some friends and family. To our surprise our flight was suddenly canceled. Bummer. So, after 6 free meals, free hotel room, and $100 off our next flight, we are enjoying the central air and the company of one another. Sometimes it's not so bad having things go differntly than what we would've expected.

JJ's Bike

Yesterday, a big package came in the mail for JJ...a bike from his Dad! He has been anticipating this for a long time. To celebrate, he rode his bike around the lake in our neighborhood while I ran. All we need now is a helmet. :)

New Job!

Today JJ went in for an art teacher interview at a nearby middle school and 45 minutes later he got the job! God is sure good in answering our prayers! We really are blessed. You can now call him Mr. Peterson. Here are some pics of our trip to the Keys (found our camera cord) and also a picture of JJ from this morning--what a handsome guy!
