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!
