New Addition to the Family
Heeeeeeeeeyyy. Now before people go crazy thinking it's something else, the new addition to the family is my new Deering Goodtime 2 5-string banjo! And I'm in love. It's simply amazing. It's not the one that I linked to in the last post, but I believe the only difference is that it has a resonator. We also bought a banjo methods book for me to learn from until I take some lessons. We'll see how the lessons go since I don't like people telling me what to do. Matt was very impressed at me saying I would be willing to take some. But I've already learned the more common chords and am learning some rolls right now and just love everything :) I'd like to play all day everyday if I could.
Saturday we went to the county fair. Definitely nowhere near as good as the Dakota County Fair, but it was pretty decent. They had a petting zoo that had lots of goats. We bought carrots to feed them! I wanted to take them all home. There was a baby camel there too that had super long legs; but he didn't like carrots.
I don't have anymore to say and my banjo and the laundry is calling me, so later!

BANJO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, hi, beautiful, lovely my-blog-readers-of-the-world! So today I got a job, not the most desireable job, but a job nonetheless so we can start saving money towards paying off our school debt and saving for land for farming! It's at Sears, so ehh, whatever. And only part time, so I'll keep an eye out for something full time perhaps.
ANYWAY, that's not the point. The point is that my husband said that as soon as I got a job I can get a banjo! And my long awaited day is here!!! We might even order it tonight :) Oooooooooohhh, I can't wait! It's gonna be the sweetest thing ever. Though probably won't make the sweetest music for quite some time. Good thing my husband and dog love me unconditionally. I'm so excited.
Matt and I are gonna go out to eat tonight because we were supposed to get married today once upon a time. So we're using it as an excuse to date. I am actually pretty glad that we're already married and not just getting married today. The weather definitely would have been nicer today than it was in April, but I'm glad that we've already started our life.
Gotta go, but more banjo info later :) Look at this link about the banjo I'm getting in the meantime!

More stuff
I was just gonna reupdate my blog with the millions of things I forgot to write about but I decided to just do a new one instead.
First off, while we were shopping today we went into Schmitt(sp?) music and there was a Deering Goodtime 2 there and I fell in LOVE. Well, I'm still willing to get just the Deering Goodtime for my first banjo, but maybe the 2 can be an upgrade. But seriously, it's amazing. And it felt amazing in my hands and I just realllllyyy need one. If only someone would hire me and then I could get one!
Second, has anyone looked at the farm and garden section on craigslist?! AMAZING! I can now spend hours a day looking at animals I can get :) I could get one day old chicks for only $2! TWO DOLLARS!!! And there are lots of goats for sale too. I wish getting out of debt and saving money would hurry up so we can get land for animals. Dang school is good for nothing.

Happy July!
I don't know why I haven't updated this for a week, because there's been things I've wanted to say! But for some reason I've been putting it off and now I feel like I've forgotten about a lot of the things.
Last week, Monday I think, Matt and I went driving out around Saginaw which is a little past Hermantown, because someone he works with lives out there and says it's the perfect spot. After going there we agree! Hopefully in a few years we can find someplace nice out around there, or someplace like it to settle down and buy some land! While driving out there we found some dirt roads to drive down and driving along a railroad we saw a coyote on the otherside walking along it. At the end of a deadend road where we were looking at land that was for sale we saw foxes and what we think was their den. Four foxes! A mom and dad and two babies! :)
In other wildlife news, Saturday afternoon we went playing in the creek in Lincoln Park and then came back to the house and gave Stinky a bath. A few hours later when we were going to let Stink out for the last time that night she went running towards a tree in the corner of the yard by the street and out comes a skunk! Luckily we were able to pull Penny away before the skunk thought it was going to spray Penny. And the girl that lives downstairs says it like lives in the neighbors backyard. Lovely.
Last night we went to go see the fireworks at Bayfront. They were pretty good fireworks, a wonderful finale, however we were right by a light by the water and the music choice was pretty sucky. We reckon we'll check out what other places around the area have to offer over the next few years. I hope everyone else had a great 4th of July!
Matt has the day off today so we've been hanging out, making our house actually look semi presentable. Yeah, sad that it still hadn't until now. And it still needs work. Whatever. I just made pickle burgers (if you've talked to me in the last month you'd know I've been dying for burgers with diced pickles in them) and Matt's gonna grill them later and we're about to make deviled eggs. Sounds like a good meal to me!
Later!
