| OMG, vacay! |
Personal Sunday, July 27, 2008 |

I'm heading out of the office today through Thursday for a fun trip to the Badlands for some hiking and camping. Then, on Friday we're heading to Minneapolis to hang out with my mom and go to the Uptown Art Fest! Yay!
I'll have my phone with me, so if you need to reach me please e-mail me or call. I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Have a great week, and check the blog next week for some vacation photos! |

| Katie and Cody :: Wedding |
Weddings Tuesday, July 22, 2008 |

On one of the only hot days this summer, Katie and Cody tied the knot in Fargo :) Despite the heat outside, everyone was cool and calm inside the church. Thank goodness for air conditioning!
Katie's dress was a beautiful lace halter-top number with some lovely bead work on the bodice. It is actually one of the most unique dresses I've seen ... and it fit Katie's sense of style perfectly.
Thanks for inviting us to spend the day with you, Katie and Cody! Congrats on your beautiful wedding!
Guests left wishes for the couple in lieu of a guest book :: |

| Fun with the family |
Personal Saturday, July 19, 2008 |

I spent a Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis with my family last weekend ... and haven't laughed so hard in a long time! We spent some time at the Minneapolis farmer's market, then saw the film "Journey to the Center of the Earth" in 3D. It was pretty exciting :)
Here's us in our swanky 3D glasses :: |


| The farmer's market was filled to the brim with delicious-looking produce. For example, carrots :: |






| Artsy photo of my family's newly painted deck (this photo seemed like a good idea after a couple gin and tonics) :: |

| Megan gets a haircut |
Portraits Friday, July 18, 2008 |

I had a girls' afternoon a couple weeks ago with my pal Janna and her little girl Megan. We started at Avant Salon with a haircut and some big girl makeup (eye shadow and lip gloss!). Then Megan put on her adorable pink and black polka-dot dress and we ran around takings some photos ... stopping for coffee and a snack when our model got tired :) What a fun afternoon!

| All prepped for a photo shoot! |

| A minor sad moment after Megan tripped. I just love her sad eyes and mouth ... they are so cute! |



| Lovin' her new 'do and pretty dress! |
