Cliff Notes....

Let's see if I can sum up the last 2 weeks kinda quickly, cuz I'm tired and it's past my bedtime:

Week of Sept. 1st
- Derek got layed off at Cirrus due to company wide cut backs.
- That same day I got a call back from Brekke Tours to have a 2nd interview.
- Derek went job hunting AGAIN!!!
- I passed my 2nd interview and they called me Friday night with the offer. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough pay for us to have a life on after paying for the house.
- So we made the most economical decision to stay in DL for a little while longer. We even made a Pros and Cons list!!! So hard to pass up FREE rent and FREE insurance along with great wages!
- The gang was in DL for the weekend and we went to 11th Frame (pics AND video coming soon). And we went to the flea market on Sun where I picked up a pair of cool table lamps and some birthday presents.

Week of Sept. 8th
- Called off the deal on the house in Thompson...still waiting to see if we get our earnest money back?!?!?!
- Derek got a job as a plumber in DL...making $15/hour...to train him (another reason we stayed in DL)
- Derek and I both got 2 call backs on other jobs we had applied for!!!! Told them our change in plans :-(
- Work like normal for me....everyone is glad that I'm not leaving!
- We bought a new truck from Rydell's on Friday! Couldn't have a house, so we got a truck. Pics coming soon, too.
- Went to an auction in Thief River Falls on Sat, Derek bought some tools.
- Stayed with April for the weekend and hung out at Doug and Karissa's on Sat. night.

That's about it. I'll try to get to posting pics and videos tomorrow.

It still sucks you guys aren't going to be closer. Not that my opinion should matter, but I agree with you guys staying in DL. Moving here wouldn't have been much fun if you were stuggling with money.

Also, pretty sure I'd pay you to NOT post any videos of me.
