My friend's son is homeschooled by a family that lives near us so Gordon plays with him frequently. Who would have guessed 8 years ago when I met his mom (Amy Hogen) that we would both move around the country and end up back in Bozeman and our sons would be friends?!?! We have always had a ton in common, we even recommended the same book series at our "not a book club, club." My Bozeman friends are the people in my life that I can go years without seeing but when we are together we go right back where we left off.

Foil & duct tape kept them busy for hours
House updates: light fixtures have all been changed, inside painting is DONE! Wood floors are all refinished, & most of the artwook/pictures are hung.
We need to get a new front door, this one is quite drafty.
The large front windows are the only windows upstairs that aren't new so those need to be replaced before winter, also very drafty.
Some more art needs to be hung in the living area
Our 5 year plan is to update the bathroom & kitchen to our style, it was done right before we bought it but it's the opposite of our taste.
Master bedroom
Guest bedroom/office
Kitchen - 5 year plan to update to our taste.
The kid's bedrooms & bathroom are downstairs, I'll post pics in next month's update
