I have so much good news to share!

I have fallen in love! ( I met him at the MN Ren. Faire on Sunday Sept. 14th.  We chatted for hours while staying out of the rain.  We were fast friends and have since fallen deeply in love.  Jonathan and I have been having a wonderful couple months even though all the stress and changes that have been surrounding us.)

I am opening my own daycare! (Yippy!  This has been a dream of mine for quite some time and I have finally found the strength and determination to go for it rather than pushing it to the back of my mind and doing something else.  Everyone around me is very supportive and that has been very helpful.)

I have found a house to buy in Duluth, MN! (I grew up in Superior and though I have had fun living in the cities and in St. Cloud I love the Duluth/Superior area.  I am very much looking forward to moving up there again.  I will be closing on my house soon and moving by Christmas!)

I haven't gone completely broke buying the house! (Not sure how this has happened but it's true enough.  I'll probably go broke within the first couple months after moving though since I'll be getting the business started up.)

Celebrate! (I have been:)

I had a blast on Saturday!  I brought my mom, step-dad, step-uncle, and two new friends along with me to the faire.  We saw a few shows together and spilt up for shopping ventures.  I walked the parade for Wenches At Work and wore one of their costumes for the first part of the day.  Then I went out to the car and changed into my Princess Eleanor costume and spent the rest of the day unable to bend, unable to laugh to hard, and unable to stand back up without help.  It was so much fun!  :)  I love wearing that costume.  The only down side was when other people at the fair would step on the edge of my dress but Jonathan and Ben (my two new friends) helped out with that by walking close enough to keep others from coming to close.  At the faire I found my good friend Mad Jack Wolfe and had great fun climbing through a window to sit down in Mac's pub for a spell and talk with him.  It was an adventure to get back out too :)  yet going through the window was easier than through the main door because of the crowd.  My parents didn't want to climb through the window so they wandered off to buy some stuff.  After faire Ben played us some lovely harp music as a thank you for picking him up.  He's a great musician and maybe someday we'll get him playing out at faire :)
