Hey All,
We are so sorry for the delay in posting on our blog for the past year. We have been soooooo busy and there is so much going on for us right now so we figured that we would give you an update of what is happening in our lives.
First of all, all of the animals are doing great. We still have the 3 cats (Oscar, Amos & Tux) and George (horse) just turned 3 yesterday and is getting so big. He is doing well and Emily has been breaking him in with riding him.
Over the past year we also leased another horse for us to ride, RU Miss Kitty, a 7 year old Buckskin Quarter Horse. While Emily took Kitty on trots and fox hunts, Jamie took her on some nice trail rides. It was tough at times trying to get out and ride while also working so much, but as you can see, Jamie was able to ride and e-mail at the same time.
(Kids, Do NOT try this at home...I am a trained professional!)
Now on to us. A lot of changes are getting ready to take place in our lives, it seems like only a little time ago we were getting married and moving up to New Jersey. Well, that was almost 5 years ago and now it is time to move again. This time, to the "frozen land" of Minneapolis, MN. That's right, the Lamprechts are moving back to the Central Time Zone! Emily has accepted a position with Cargill's Animal Nutrition Program as the Innovative Development Manager for Cargill's Equine Program. For those of you who do not know, Cargill is the producer of Nutrena Horse Feed. She will start there on August 1st, 2009. So a lot has to be done between now and then. Emily is also finishing up her last assay and writing her dissertation and will be defending in early to mid July. Also during this time, we are taking a little trip to Keystone, Colorado later this week, as Emily will be presenting all of her work at a conference and then we have a few days of vacation built in with some hiking and whitewater rafting. We will make sure to post some pictures when we get a chance. Then it will be a trip back to NJ for and overnight stay at home before repacking and heading out to Minnesota for a house hunting trip. We have been looking at tons of homes online and with the help of our realtor, we will be checking out quite a few homes during our 5 day visit to Minnesota in early June. Wish us luck as we look to purchase our first home together!
After we get back, it will be about a week until Jamie leaves to go back to camp for his 3rd summer as the Camp Director at Kittatinny Mountain Scout Reservation in Northern, NJ. For two months he will develop character and provide leadership for the youth of America...and make sure that they have the best summer of their life while at KMSR. During his time at camp, Emily will be moving to Minnesota, with the help of a moving company and her mom coming up to make the drive as they haul George in the trailer to Minnesota. After the summer is over and Jamie has completed his duties with the Central New Jersey Council, BSA, he will move up to Minnesota around September 1st to join Emily. While he doesn't have a job lined up quite yet, he is working with his boss to get transferred within the BSA to the Minneapolis Boy Scout Council, one of the 4 largest councils in America. Stay tuned for more on that.
That is about it for right now, as you can tell, we have A LOT going on in our lives and it is sure to be a fun, exciting and busy summer for both of us. Let us know how you are doing, we love hearing from you. Take care!
All the best,
Jamie and Emily Lamprecht
