Sorry for the Delay!!!

Where do I begin!  So much has gone on since my last post! Basement finished, Minneapolis Fill The Boot, Lonsdale Community Days, Brother Beno off to college, now Brother Beno #2 on his way, and Cabin time next weekend!!!  WOW! I guess you could say we are not "boring" anymore!  So now that our basement is finished (for now) we have so much more time to enjoy the outdoors.  Work has been CRAZY! Our Minneapolis Fill the Boot is 3 days of chaos!!  It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun! We made a lot of money for MDA-now onto Telethon!!
Last weekend we went to "Lonsdale Community Days".  Mike's older brother Joel's brother-in-law's house (follow that?)  is in Lonsdale, MN.  So Jeff and Darsy invited us out for the day to run a 5k, and drinking all day long.  There is a parade, and community activities on Main Street.  I ran the 5k in 32min!! BEST TIME EVER!!!!  and drank all day long!! It was a blast.  We met some of Darsy and Andrea's friends and was invited out to a cabin for drinking about water fun! 
So let me explain what the Cabin is.  My assumption of a Cabin is on of which is on a mountain and skiing is involved.  Campfires, hot chocolate, and blankets.  HERE- Cabin is a house on a lake (lakehouse) where people spend time on their boats and go fishing.  Took awhile for us to understand, but we got it now and are excited to check one out!! 
Yesterday, we took David Beno to college!!!!!!!  St. Cloud Technical College is where he is attending, but actually living in the dorms of St. Cloud State University.  We moved him into his dorm and got him all situated.  We wish him the best of luck!!!  Now that we have brought David from Baraboo, WI to St. Cloud, MN; Brother Bryan has decided to move to Minneapolis from Ohio!!  It has been A LOONG TIME since all beno brothers have been together in one state.  Bryan Beno will be arriving next week.  I have heard is owns a snake, sooooo...there's going to be some issues.  All I gotta say is that snake will be living in his car!

So my final activity that I have completed was last week when I finally put together a beautiful barn window that is close to 100years old from my grandparents farm!  I sanded it , painted it white and blew up a picture from nags head I took on our honeymoon.  It is so awesome and something I will cherish forever!!!  Now I just have to find somewhere to hang it!!  

You are now caught up with our minnesota life...OH one more thing.... We just found out my grandmother has lymphoma.  She is now on kemo and has 6 treatments. Just talked to her yesterday and she seems tired, but haning in there.  Please keep her in ya'lls prayers!!!
