Update

Time for a little life update.....

Jim has been gone a little over a week and so far

is doing really well with all of his training. He hates the

humidity in Georgia and it's only going to get worse since

he'll be there until July.

I have been spending 90% of my time with my crazy

but awesome sister Kelsi!!!! She's been keeping me busy

whether it be with staring contests....comparing our big hair
standing by while she eats my face.....

or going to the river on this awesome beautiful day....94

degrees in Redmond today!!!

We are also in the process of training for a half marathon.
We ran 6 miles tonight, and 13 really sounds like a lot

after that!

In other news, my little brother got engaged last weekend

to his beautiful girlfriend, Michelle! She will be the greatest

addition to the family.

The happy couple

She couldn't stop making this face all night!!

This was the crew that went up to surprise her....we went for

a hike in the woods at my aunt's cabin and hid all of our cars.

As soon as she said yes, Colton rang the dinner bell (an old train bell)

and we came running out of the woods.....pretty funny!

She was so surprised.

All the Cross ladies

As for the cafe, it couldn't be better. For those of you

who haven't been yet, you need to come by. It's my little

happy place!!

Love and miss you all!
