Minnesota Visit

A couple of weeks ago I flew to Minnesota for a short but AWESOME trip to celebrate some great news!!

At my mom's last doctor's appointment they told her that she was cancer free. She is doing 2 more treatments of chemo but we threw a little surprise dinner for her to celebrate the good news. My mom has been such an inspiration during this difficult time. She has had a positive attitude during this whole time and she has never wavered off the thought that she was going to beat this thing. I know it's been a very tough road and there has been many bumps but she kept her head up and kept going. She reminds me a lot of Jared Allen with the Vikings beating a block, sacking the QB, and doing a little hog tying. TAKE THAT CANCER!! YOUR THE BEST MOM!!

I would have pictures of the party but Alaska Airlines had an issue of getting me my bag. There was a flood down in the luggage area in Seattle so when we landed in Minnesota there I stood with 30 other people with no bag and no camera. When I got back to Seattle they did reimburse me for my underwear, socks, contact solution, deodorant, and other things that I had to buy at Wal-Mart, so I guess it's not all bad.

The other thing that I did while I was at home was I helped my dad cut some wood with my brother Josh. We pretty much took the woods by storm, to be honest the trees really never had a chance because when you get the three of us together we move like lightning.

Here we are heading out into the woods.

Here Josh and Dad are cutting away. They took on the cutting duties as I stacked the wood in the trailers. We all pretty much know that the person stacking the wood is pretty much the most important person out there. Plus I will show you just how fast I was stacking a little later.

Here I am with my brother Josh after getting everything cut and loaded.

We were able to cut three pretty big loads for my dad. The only sad thing is when I talked to him this past weekend he told me that he burnt through half of it already. He must like burning wood! I guess I will just have to fly back and help cut some more.

Here we all are! I kind of feel bad for the woods though because they didn't even see us coming. I also love my dad's back light, turn signal. What happened to that? It just melted! I told you I was moving fast stacking the wood here is my proof! That thing looks AWESOME!

BEFORE I GO.....WAY TO GO MOM & CANCER SUCKS!!!
