Slow Going….

Okay, I know ever since the move my blog has kinda taken second fiddle.  It’s not even that I don’t have the time to do it….It’s just that I have been kinda burnt out.  But….here’s the good news:)

Well for me…

We are heading to Florida for a week to get some rest, relaxation, sun, burns, good food, yadda yadda.  I am so looking foward to a week away where I can do minimal cooking and cleaning!!  Even though we have been having amazingly gorgeous weather here.

Here’s the other good news….

I am really looking forward to getting back into the swing of things when we get back.  Like blogging at least twice a week!  We have some fun new things going on that I can’t wait to share with you, one may include turning one of our sheds into a guest house:) and another a fun new venture I’m looking into.  So…..with that being said I hope you stick with me and check back after this next quiet week to see what we are up to!!

Until then we will be dipping our tootsies in the water and laying low!

The Oaks final outdoor reveal
By Allie Lundeen August 14, 2025
I pulled off the biggest surprise I've ever done... I can't believe it!! So a little back story - 17 years ago Ryan sold his prized possession, his 1991 Mazda Miata, to help fund a much needed mini van for our baby on the way. After I got pregnant I quit my job and we went from 2 incomes down to 1 income. We knew that a 2 person convertible just wasn't practical and that the finances could be used in a better way. So we sold it... Fast forward 17 years and it all comes back full circle. I put my 17 year old son Tate on the task of finding us a Miata that looked just like dads, and he blew it out of the water. He found the perfect car on Facebook Marketplace In great condition! He drove almost 3 hours to pick it up with a buddy and pulled off the best surprise ever!!! Also to note Tate has never driven through the Twin Cities or Driven a stick shift on any road besides a gravel one close to the cabin. BUT he was confident and crushed the challenge!! We stored it for the night and gave it to him the next day! I think Ryan's reaction says it all (watch the mini vlog below!) Our "19th" anniversary isn't until November but what fun is a convertible if you can't drive it in the summer, so we gave it to him early and are so happy we did! *make sure to read until the end for a good laugh ;)
