It’s been a wonderful week and weekend! I hope it has been for you too! I love getting the messages and email responses from so many of you sharing your highlights too!

Highlights of the Weekend

• I ran 2 1/2 miles, I’ve been increasing a little bit every day toward my goal of running 3 several times a week. So I’m getting there!!
• My daughter graduated from The University of Iowa. ( I don’t know how since she was born yesterday!)
• We all helped move her into her house, it’s going to be so beautiful! I love her style. And Koda (the Bernese Mountain puppy) moved in with her!
• She will get settled this week and start her new job with our family business selling vehicles next week. Looking for a new vehicle? Check out our inventory HERE! My father and mother-in-law started an independent little corner used car lot in 1985. My husband and his brother bought it in 2006 and it’s grown to the largest independent dealership in the Midwest. They sell all preowned low mileage vehicles from all makes and models in two locations now and delivering all over the USA every day. They specialize in pick up trucks and SUVs. Call next week and Kallin can help you! She used to sit in a little high chair by her grandma’s desk when she would come visit as a little girl and now she’s going to be working there. We are so proud!
