The Fuglestad Residence

Today was the big day! Closing day!
The house is offically ours! We took this picture in front of the sold sign (which we are blocking quite well) before we even put the offer in!

It looks so different without their stuff in it and I already am imagining how we will make this our own.

We have been planning for a long time to get a house and things couldn't have gone more smoothly. I give tons of credit to Dane for being such a huge part of this whole process all the way from Kosovo.

We are looking forward to Dane coming home to our house in about 58 days!

We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Memorial Weekend.

13.1 Miles

On Mother's Day Dane ran his first 1/2 marathon!! He completed the 13.1 miles in one hour and 42 minutes! Not only was this his first 1/2 marathon but it was an international marathon!

It was on the streets of Prishtina in Kosovo and he said it was the most amazing thing he has ever done. Thousands of people from all over the world participated and he said there was a lady from Chicago that runs this marathon often.



There were about 20 people that took part in the various runs. What an awesome accomplishment!







He said the streets of the city were so amazing to look at. I am jealous. What a cool thing to have experienced!

Dane and I both have bucket lists. This year he ran a 1/2 marathon and the only thing I checked off my list was ride a mechanical bull. I think we can all agree his accomplishment was much more impressive!
We are getting really excited to close on the house and VERY EXCITED for Dane to come home!
