We're still here!

Just want to let any of you who still check our website know that I haven't completely forgotten about it! It's been neglected for the past month...or two...but my goal is to start posting again on a somewhat regular basis. Another thing I've been meaning to do is make our website private. So if you want to continue to see what the Jagdfelds are up to, make sure I have your email address so I can make sure you have access!

One quick thing I can update you on is that we've been getting to know another couple from church and doing dinner with them. Last night we hosted them at our house and made a greek chicken dish wrapped in fillo with italian potato salad and green beans. It was DELICIOUS! I'm excited for my leftover lunch today. They brought homemade baklava with them for dessert! YUM! Food with friends always makes for a great evening.

The bedroom drapes are finished!

Both sets of drapes are finally finished! Our room looks so much cozier. Only a couple more things yet, and then our bedroom will be complete. I need to figure out what I want to put on the wall above our bed, and we need to order/purchase our bed frame. The wall decorations will be easy. The bed frame on the other hand will be a while yet. I designed the bed frame and will have it custom made by an amazing woodworker....once we are able to save up enough to afford it!

Maksymetz Reunion

We had a great time traveling with Josh's family to Winnipeg, Dauphin, and Gilbert Plains, Manitoba this past July. We met lots, but not all, of the Maksymetz extended family over the three day reunion. Events included everything from grave blessings to weenie roasts to Ukrainian dancing! Here are a few photos from our trip:Josh's grandma's house (the one on the right) that she grew up in out in Gilbert Plains, Manitoba.

Cherries & Sunny Beaches

There's so much to tell about our trip to Oregon! Since I'm not getting to this post until a couple weeks after the trip, I'm thinking you should just take a look at our photos to get an idea as to what our vacation out West was like. Click here to see a web gallery of all our photos! It was a long trek out and back, but all the time spent with family was more than worth it. Oh, and sometime when you see us next you'll have to ask us about the "Cigarette Butt Motel!"

Way too busy.

I'm currently reading a book called "the not so big life" by the architect Sarah Susanka. I definitely need to put some of what I'm reading into action because we are way too busy and never can get anything done that we want to do. It's too bad nothing will change for a long time. I don't think we'd make it without our part-time evenings and weekend jobs. Sigh. Where is Josh by the way?! We both worked tonight; it's 10:30pm and he's still not home...

Since I don't have time to write all about our wonderful vacation we took out to Oregon, you'll just have to look through our pictures at gallery.me.com/jagdfelds and get an idea of what our trip was like. So much fun!
