I hate moving!!!

This weekend has been miserably strenuous. We moved this weekend and I could just about pull my hair out from trying to get everything done. I have decided....whether we like it or not....we are staying here for at least two years. I am not packing all of our stuff up again.

Anyways....the CIs are still awesome. I am looking forward to my appointment in July to see how things have progressed over the past month or so. The new place we are in makes some annoying noises....the dryer in particular at the moment. The darn thing squeaks and it is driving me CRAZY!!

Anyways....I am exhausted and hoping I can make it through the week alive as I start summer school classes for my Master's this week.

Yipee!

Elk River Falls--fun sounds

Kevin and I were bored this morning so we went out for an adventure. We went for a hike to the Elk River Falls. It was fun, no one was around, and the weather was perfect. The sound of the falls was amazing...it was a lot louder than I expected. I loved every moment of it though. The only thing I was wary of was the water. We climbed out on the rocks to sit in front of the falls and I was paranoid about falling and my implants going in the water, or better yet, them falling off my head and never being found again. Either way...I had a blast and I still have two implants! I know I am weird, don't bother telling me that. We noticed one thing at the falls that would take a brave soul...I would never do it. At the top of the falls there was a rope tied into a tree. We assume that it is used for people to jump off the falls, however I personally don't think that would be a great idea.
It was a great morning and we had a blast...we are very fortunate to live so close to beautiful things in nature. These falls are about 20 minutes from our house.

Anyways here is a picture of the main fall. The others are just small falls that flow into this one, and a few that go out.

This is me and Kevin being silly. I was trying to take a picture of us sitting on the rocks at the bottom of the falls.
A fun morning....now back to writing a paper!
Have a great weekend!
