Still Catching Up...

It was a long month of June, but it seems to have flown by very quickly.

Highlights Of The Month
1. Completed 7 seminars across MN, IA, and Wisconsin. These are 19 hour days and tire even a young guy out!
2. Visit to Detroit Lakes for braces tightening and to see our niece Hattie. She is the most beautiful baby I can remember seeing and her nature is absolutely unbelievable.
3. Played 18 holes of golf with my nephew Zander. His energy level resembles his dad so much, which is a good and a bad thing, but mainly good. He listens better then he has in the past and is a great kid! One incident on the golf course, as I was about to hit he jumped off the seat and onto the gas pedal and rammed into the cart ahead of him. He bruised his nose, but mainly just scared him! He was "very quiet" for about 2 holes after that.
4. Got my golf game back on track! I had lessons this month with my instructor Brent Snyder who is Troy Burne's Director of Instruction. He helped me change a swing flaw and the results were immediate (not usually the case in golf)! Now we are just refining things and the game is fun again. I shot my best round at Troy Burne this month, equaling a round I shot 2 years ago.
5. Basement Progress (the paint is done and the finish work is beginning) We can see it taking shape now!

I am back up north now until the 12th of July when I have to go back for a seminar on Monday, the 13th in Sioux Falls, then we have a wedding in Springfield that next weekend. My mom is going to watch Hattie while we tear it up with the Ritchie's (Ryan and I can get dangerous when our wives aren't watching us). It usually results in 2 headaches!
We are looking forward to the 4th of July holiday! Our neighbors and friends Jeb and Kaylan are coming up Thursday to spend the weekend with us. We have many activities planned (I'm guessing you already knew we would be golfing)! On Friday we are playing a course that Nicole and I have never played called The Wilderness! It is located at Fortune Bay (a casino about 40 miles north of where we live). The nice thing about Casino's, I hate to gamble but as long as other people do they have the money to build beautiful golf courses, and with most courses that Casino's have, no one hardly plays them so they are in great shape! We will also play the courses at Giants Ridge (our home courses away from Troy Burne). On Saturday we are renting a pontoon for the day so hoping for good weather and then fireworks in Biwabik on Saturday night!

I hope everyone has a great holiday, be safe in your travels! We'll post some pictures after the weekend!
