Our Kids Find Their True Identity

Isabelle and Espen have become quite the little cowgirl and cowboy during our stay here. They live in their cowboy boots and hats. Espen has actually insisted on sleeping with his cowboy boots on, and both are excitedly looking forward to showing off their new duds to all their friends in Minnesota.

In the meantime, Scott has started applying for jobs and has one interview coming up. There are several jobs he's interested in, ranging all the way from Chattanooga to Puyallup, and we're up for any of them. But the surprise to all of us has been a company in Sparta, WI of all places. Just north of Westby, where I have spent 95% of my Fourth of July's, at our family reunions. The place is called McPherson's and Scott's head over heels over their product. This is the company he actually has an interview with, as soon as we get back to Minnesota.

And that will be in about 2 and half weeks. We'll arrive in Duluth, unload our U-haul full of all the things we've managed to accrue here, while simplifying, turn right around and head back towards the Twin Cities, then to Sparta!
