Happy Birthday America!




For the Fourth of July, our work was very slow, so we decided to go hang out downtown! There were not very many people there, because everyone was "up north" for the weekend.
















We saw this thing on the sidewalk that looks like a grill, also this cool old building which turns out is a Masonic Temple. Very old historic stuff downtown.



















We walked over the historic stone arch bridge, then watched the fireworks from the banks. It was a very good show, and we were surrounded by a very colorful bunch of people!

Are we in Kansas?







Yesterday, Dustin was installing in Medford, MN. When he was on his second job, the tornado siren went off!


There were a few big storms moving into the area, and at this point there hadn't been a touchdown.



This is a picture of the ditch Mom told me to hide in if the tornado was coming towards me.

This storm was crazy! We decided to hide out in a Wendy's.


Dustin was scared.




The calm after the storm... We survived!

Minnesoooota!

Hello all! Greetings from the Land O Lakes! We have been here for 3 weeks now, and have had quite a few adventures. First, we didn't have a home when we got here and lived in a hotel for about a week. Then, we got to move to our apartment at Lake Place!

The only thing we had to move all our belongings into our new home was shopping carts. Pretty much I felt like a homeless person. Here is Dustin. I made him push the heavy cart m



We have both been working very hard since we've been here, and we are missing our families tons! We had a Memorial Day BBQ with all of our work technician people today, it was on top of some of the apartments. The view was beautiful!
