Billy is going to college!
U of M Engineering school. Super hard to get into and he’ll be challenged and need to work his butt off. We know he can do it and are excited for his next adventure!
Right now he’s thinking geo-engineering.
Oh the places you’ll go!
The plan college planning start! (Dorm, class registration, roommates, books … whew)
The ONLY way to survive winter in MN (or I should say January in MN) is to plan LOTS of fun things with friends. Food Hikes. Snowshoeing. Concerts. Music. Dates.... You need something to look forward too, especially with this year being the 4th snowiest on record and the below 0 temps that are hitting for the next week.
Hope you are all finding ways to stay sane, have fun and be loved.

The menu
Jimmy certainly made the most of his winter break! Football, basketball, orange chicken, friends, family, Lambeau, hot tubs, poker, Korean food, the Kims, cousins, Maui, Kleo, drums in the worship band, conceal and carry class, movies with us, virtual reality games, dinners with friends, working out, putting on 5+ pounds (his football goal was to get to 240 and I think he did it) and studying for the LSAT every chance you got.
It was SO fun to have his big personality and dirty feet home. The dogs cuddled with him every chance they got and his friends found ways to be together. Maybe the only disappointment was the Vikings losing at Lambeau but...they are in the playoffs so, alls well that ends well.
Jimmy, you are thoughtful, driven, funny, kind, outgoing, open and such a treat to be around. Love you to the moon and back and can't wait to see you do great things this spring at school and football.
XOXO
Mom and Dad
