Iowa

Oh my gosh I am so far behind again!! I tell ya things just sneak up on you and before you know it.......weeks have gone by! I have to do some serious catching up. I'm taking you back to a trip we had in August.....IOWA. Dave had a weekend chiropractic seminar full of classes and old collegues. I said there is no way you are going without me! So we packed up with baby Parker and left the other two with a friend. It was a treat to getaway and spend time with dear friends and remember good old times! We stayed at the Kook's B&B....aka Tom and Sara.....the farm was beautiful and full of adventure. Dave even managed to revive himself by touching a electric fence that kept the horses in. If he wasn't sure before....he's grateful to still be alive and kickin'.....thank goodness! Didn't you know I married a curious George? Mental note for next trip.....next time you decide to get up in the early morning for a stroll along the farm in the morning dew barefoot....don't grab the white rope. Awwwww Dave....you gotta love him and just laugh:)

This is Ed....Dave's best bud during school. They are a great family and due to have twins soon!




Beautiful farm.....



This was our church building that we went to....we watched this thing be built from the ground up. So neat to go back and visit everyone!
Awwwww Sara......I can laugh like crazy with this girl:)



Natalie met us at the Machine Shed....a must stop on places to eat!

It was so great to be back and remember our times back in Iowa. I had a lot of emotions come out that I didn't know I would feel going back there for the first time since we moved 4 years ago. That time in our life was one of the hardest things we've been through in our marriage. School for Dave was a hard thing to get through. But we wouldn't change it for the world. Can't wait to go back for another visit. Great people in Iowa and even better memories!

It's crazy seeing pictures of our old church? Were any of the members still the same? Last time we went a few were there but lots had left. Gotta love Iowa.
