I want to thank everyone who has sent messages, cards, and other forms of condolences to me and my family over the past few weeks. It is hard to believe my father is gone, but every day is getting a tad easier. I am calling this new state my "new normal" as nothing will ever be quite the same. Matt and I are holding up here is the Cities and making plenty of trips to ND to see my mom. Hopefully Karen can get over her car-sickness soon, or we will be finding ways to ship her back!
