As most of you know, I recently left my job at Mayo Clinic and accepted the position of “Electronic Communications Coordinator” at Dakota State University.

We bought a house and are in the process of moving back to SD. Madison already feels like home; it’s good to be back after spending so much time here while I was a student.  Mayo Clinic was good to us, and we have very mixed emotions about leaving Rochester, but the opportunity was just too good to pass up. 

Here’s Maesa and Cassie after our fall apple harvest.  These were the best apples we’ve had from our tree so far.  I wish I knew the variety; they are sweet enough to eat, yet are tart enough to make an incredible pie!

My friend Steve went to an event last night in Sioux Falls.  Ben Stein was one of the speakers and Steve got a picture with him after.  I told him I was going to post it, so a brush with fame through Steve!
