Happy 4 year Anniversary!

Today 4 years ago Peter and I were married on a sunny and humid Friday.

10 years ago this coming December we first started dating....wow that makes me feel old and so do these pictures I'm about to upload from "then to now."

Our wedding verse was Jeremiah 29:11... I know that God has a plan for us and I've enjoyed seeing that unfold the past four years.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

I'm excited to see what God's plan is for us for the next year, "plans for hope and a future."

Love you Peter!

And here's the flashback, we are babies, this isn't even when we first started dating this is after a few years.

Here's to the graduates!

Here's to the graduates!

June is Graduation and Father's Day month... according to the news this morning.

I graduated in May along with my brother but my Kindergarten kids graduated this June.

We had our Program and Graduation on Tuesday and the kids were fabulous.

If you are also graduating this year congrats to you!

Do ya see me?? What about the humungous guy behind me, ya he's twice my height.

Peter kept taking pictures of me cuz he thought it was so funny... I didn't even know he was there.

And I thought I was the organized one...

Looks like my organization is rubbing off on somebody or..

he really knew how to do it all along and it was part of some mysterious trick...

or organization is fun when it involves tools rather than laundry or dishes

Looks pretty good if I do say so myself, he even made a little garden section for me.

In Full Bloom

A Prayer in Spring

by Robert Frost

OH, give us pleasure in the flowers today;

And give us not to think so far away

As the uncertain harvest; keep us here

All simply in the springing of the year.

Oh, give us pleasure in the orcahrd white,

Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;

And make us happy in the happy bees,

The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.

And make us happy in the darting bird

That suddenly above the bees is heard,

The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,

And off a blossom in mid air stands still.

For this is love and nothing else is love,

To which it is reserved for God above

To sanctify to what far ends he will,

But which it only needs that we fulfill.

Minnehaha Falls

The water is flowing...

after a very snowy winter the falls are raging

and Minnehaha Creek is not in short supply of water this year.

It's hard to believe but last year over the summer, the water was so low in Lake Minnetonka

that they stopped up Minnehaha Creek

and the falls was nothing more than a dribble.

U is for Underwear

As some of you may know I teach Kindergarten.

As you can imagine I hear lots of little comments and stories that make me laugh on a daily basis.

Well today was no exception.

We were painting during Art and listening to a C.D.

The song playing was a song that sings about the letter sounds.

As we get to the letter U the song says "U, uh, uh, uh, underwear"

Of course the kids laugh because, well didn't you know... underwear is hilarious when you are 5.

So as any teacher would say I just shrug my shoulders and say "It's no big deal, we all wear underwear, just like we all wear clothes."

Then one of the little boys in my class looks up at me and smiles,

"Nuh uh, Mrs. Lindberg, sometimes I don't wear any, I go... Canadian."

Who knew those Canadians didn't wear underwear...??? hehe

Arizona

This past March I had the pleasure of traveling to Arizona to spend time with family.

Peter and I went to visit Kris and Jim with Anne and Jake.

It as such a wonderful trip and I especially enjoyed seeing Arizona for the first time.

I was surprised that I could handle the heat,

with out the humidity of Minnesota, 80's and 90's weren't so rough.

We saw beautiful scenery even in the desert.

All the cactus and the unique vegetation of the desert.
