We are preparing to move this coming Monday and Tuesday so we are packing while each working a full work week! Uff da!<br />
<br />
We are moving to White Willows Townhomes in West Fargo and we couldn't be more excited! As much as we love our apartment in South Fargo, we are feeling ready to try a new location with some different perks! The townhome we will be renting is 2 story, 2 bed and 1 1/2 bathroom with a double attached garage. This means no more running outside to our garage in the middle of a blizzard- yay!! We also get some lawn space with a small patio. We will be in a neighborhood which we are excited about and near a park and school. We are currently at the intersection of 2 busy Fargo streets and are ready for a change in scenery!<br />
<br />
We will try to post some pictures when we get settled in! We are excited to have my (Ann's) mom come join us in the packing/cleaning/unpacking process!<br />
<br />
Here is a picture of the place from the renter's website:<br />

Josh and I are completely safe and flood-free in south Fargo in our second story apartment but we did take some time this week to venture out to downtown Fargo-Moorhead to check out the situation! We had heard that the Red River crested on late Saturday and early Sunday morning so our pictures are from Monday morning when the river was pretty high.<br />
<br />
We started our adventure at the Moorhead mall on the parking ramp. You can see some of the road and parking lot are blocked off because they are under water.<br />

My parents had to make the difficult choice of putting our family pet, Lucky down today. His health had taken a turn for the worse a few weeks ago and his pain and suffering that he was enduring this past week was too much for my parents to bear. Today as I am missing and remembering Lucky, I am finding how much of an impact a small, furry creature can have on your life and heart. I felt it was only necessary to write a bit about my favorite memories with my first and favorite puppy and to remember how much of a blessing it was to have Lucky be a part of our life for the past 12 years.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My family got Lucky as a "bribe" to move from Appleton to Stevens Point WI when I was in 6th grade. My sister and I were not too thrilled to leave our friends and lives in Appleton but we had always wanted a dog and my parents must have decided that it was either get a dog or the girls would put up a huge fuss!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That first summer with Lucky was filled with frustrating but funny memories of trying to potty train this stubborn puppy and cleaning up countless accidents all throughout the house. I remember we would try to leave Lucky home gated in the kitchen but he soon learned how to crawl over the baby gates. So my dad attempted to set up a huge blockade with kitchen chairs and stools. Every time we came home Lucky somehow managed to jump or climb through these blockades and greet us with a mischievous grin at the door! That dog was something else!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Lucky's first two years of life were filled with some naughty behavior! My mom often said he was "Lucky to be alive" for all the trouble he had gotten himself in to! Lucky killed more backyard wildlife than my family cared for. We always had to send my dad out with the shovel after Lucky would kill bunnies, squirrels or birds that couldn't escape him as my mom, sister and I would be screaming at the back door! But, Lucky was also a very sweet dog. He snuggled with us on the couch every night and would never leave our sides when we were sick. He was always eager to learn new tricks and we had so much fun training him! He was always good with children and other pets and we had kids from all over the neighborhood coming over to pet Lucky or asking if they could take him for a walk!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To me, Lucky was always my snuggly furry friend that I could come home to at the end of the day and he would always be so happy and excited to see me! We were pals all throughout junior high and high school. I remember taking him trick or treating with me, I bought him Christmas and birthday presents (even though my family thought I was a little nuts!) and I would bring him on errands so that I could roll the window down and he could stick his face out and sniff the air as we cruised around town. I have an entire photo album dedicated just to him at home! I have always loved Lucky and taking him along on all my adventures! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As I went off to school, Lucky became my mom's sidekick. He hasn't left her side since I moved away from home. Lucky was a very loyal companion and often had separation anxiety when my mom would leave for long periods of time. The poor dog wouldn't eat or drink until she came back home!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Lucky became a part of our family that first summer and I know we have all loved him in our own way. He has been there through the best and worst times with my family and he is in all of my memories I have of living in Stevens Point. I know that the hard times I had growing up as a teen Lucky made a lot easier! Lucky has been my dad's walking buddy for 12 years and he has always snuggled next to my mom when she spends time reading every day. It will be hard to not have Lucky waiting at the door for me when I come home to visit my family and I know my parents will have to live with a new empty void in the house. Nothing can really compare to the companionship of sweet, furry friend who has been by your side through the ups and downs of life. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Lucky, you will be sorely missed! Thank you for greeting us at the door, licking our hands when we were sad and for being there through it all. Thank you for all the memories you have given me and my family! Our Lucky, Lucky Looger, Luckster, Lucky puppy- We love you!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

We had fun going on a train ride (on the light rail downtown Minneapolis) with Ethan, Emily and Diane and enjoyed lunch at one of our favorite restaurants- Aurelio's with the Ridder family! We then went to Wisconsin and spent the rest of the weekend there.<br />
<br />
On Saturday we made a trip to visit my sister, Gretchen in Milwaukee and she gave us a lovely tour of her art school MIAD (Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design) and showed us her latest artwork. She is one talented girl!! She also gave us a tour of the town since this was Josh's first Milwaukee visit! We spent Sunday in Stevens Point and made a trip to the Cheese Factory in Rudolph, WI (about 10 miles away from my parents' house) and stocked up on our favorite cheeses. We hit quite the snowstorm on the way home and it ended up taking 2 days get back but we made it! We had a wonderful trip and were so happy to get to spend time with our families again!<br />
<br />
Here are some of our snapshots of the weekend:<br />

Once Josh came home from work we exchanged a few small special gifts and then enjoyed a dinner out at Granite City! We shared our favorite appetizer, Idaho Nachos and a plate of linguini pasta for dinner. We ended our evening with a few round of Mario Kart while eating chocolates! It was a great first married Valentine's Day together! <div><br />

We had planned a little getaway to get out and about and make the most of the winter weather. We inherited some cross country skiing gear from Ann's grandparents and have been itching to put it all to good use. So we booked a hotel in the quaint little town of Park Rapids, MN for a couple nights with plans to head even further north to ski the trails of Itasca State Park. One of the biggest draws of the hotel we stayed in was the indoor pool and hot tub. Unfortunately we ended up battling old, beer bellied, hairy men for the hot tub all weekend. We got our turn every once in a while though, so it was worth it! Overall it was a wonderful weekend full of great food, fun adventures, and relaxation! Here are some pictures of the highlights of our weekend, enjoy!<br />

With Jill's prompting and too many stories that need to be shared, we have decided to start this blog!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We thought what better way to begin than to share the "Top Ten" list of knowing that you live in Fargo (based solely on personal experience!!)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You know you live in Fargo when...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">#10 Your grocery store options are Cash Wise, SunMart and Hornbachers</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">#9 Retail stores are packed with shoppers whether it be 65 degrees and sunny or -15 degrees with 10 foot snow drifts, ice covered roads and 20mph winds</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">#8 Your garage is clear of snow when you pull in for your lunch break and 30 minutes later there is an 8 inch snow drift blocking your garage</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">#7 When you leave a warm environment you instinctively start running towards your next destination</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">#6 Daily conversations include the next deep freeze and the impending spring flood</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">#5 Being a Fargoan doesn't mean being cold, it means installing an auto-start in your vehicle</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">#4 When approaching a stoplight, you find yourself praying for green lights as red lights usually mean sliding for 50 feet before coming to a stop</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">#3 You have a hard time forming your "Top Ten" list without mentioning snow</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">#2 Massive machines that you thought only existed in sci-fi movies come out at night to remove snow</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And the #1 reason you know you live in Fargo is when:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The landscape which you once thought would remain flat and barren forever transforms to mountainous piles of snow and ice boulders as high as 2 story buildings everywhere you look </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We will be posting more adventures and pictures soon!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Love from Fargo,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
