Back at Home

As we mentioned in our last post, we've been spending our last month split between South Dakota and Minnesota in our respective hometowns. It's definitely been a whirlwind of friends, family and "I thought you were overseas already!"
South Dakota was packed with fun events. Zach's mom and his friend Rob threw Zach a surprise birthday party. We took a brief trip up to Fargo to see our friend Erica's art gallery showing. We spent hours playing video games and sharing old stories. Winry, as usual, made friends everywhere she went but seemed to especially enjoy her time as one of the boys amongst Zach's parents dogs, a Boston Terrier and a Boxer.
Minnesota has been just as chilly and just as delightful. We kept busy practicing archery and seeing old friends inbetween helping Holly's parents clean up their house and packing up her childhood room. A trip to Holly's Aunt saw Winry crowned "Queen Winry" by her two daughters Marissa and Morgan who then carted her around for a puppy parade. As usual, she loved the attention! She's been loving the open space out in the country as well, leaving Family Circus style tracks in the snow all over the backyard.
We're less than a week away from our big trip, which seems still seems surreal. Maybe we will believe it once we sit in Toronto for our six hour layover?
More to come,
