Christmas Out West

Kris and I went out to Minot, ND for Christmas this year... where we stayed with his sister and her beautiful children. As always we had a great and interesting time... partially thanks to their, um, "special" dog Jake who managed to dig and chow down on a pound of chocolate from my purse.

Yesterday, we ventured to Garrison to eat some food and play the always crazy White Elephant game. There are so many photographs I should be posting on this blog... but, I'll spare Sammi and Chelsey.

We visited the Seidlers at their farm before venturing into Garrison to celebrate at his aunt's home. I took some photographs of Kim's family out there.. as well as a few for myself. Enjoy!


Isn't this the best looking family... ever?

Little Liv!

Oh, Liv... Mackenzie and Trevor's little ball of sunshine. I've been photographing her since she was 3 months old... and now, she just turned a year! Mackenzie is friend of Allison, Kris' manager at the HoDo. It's been a joy to photograph Liv over this past year. She just gets more adorable!

Our House is a very, very nice house!

Well, it's not quite OUR house yet... but in a short month or so, it will be!

The husband and I have bought a house on Dudrey Court in Moorhead. It's an adorable 4 bedroom, 2 bath, story and half, three blocks north of MSUM. It's lovely... and we can't wait to make it ours.

We've been talking about jumping into home ownership for a couple years... and finally, about a month ago, leaped into the process and haven't looked back! Kris found some he liked, I found some we liked (really liked, I fall in love fast), but none we enjoyed together. As soon as we stepped into this house, it was love at first sight.... for both of us!

We're quite excited, hence all the pictures. Enjoy!

Old Photos Back Again

In the spirit of posting (it's been a awhile, hasn't it), I'd like to show you a few images I've dug out from the archive. Most of these were taken in early 2005. Enjoy... oh, and Happy Thanksgiving! I'll post something new soon.








This was taken at the Nelson cabin.

Despite my one tile, I still lost.


I know my vegan friends are going cringe at this one, but Adam was really proud of his first pheasant catch. Plus, look at Zeus the dog.

Fun Elizabus time!


I think Alicia got a huge kick off the Elizabus. Who wouldn't?

Steph & Adam -- October 13, 2007

Steph & Adam, well, rock... so do their wonderfully goofy friends. Unfortunately, during their entire wedding day, I felt a little off. I just couldn't think... I couldn't get into their wedding day. And, I felt a little guilty about it. Nonetheless, the photographs were a pleasant surprise. It wasn't my best wedding ever, but it wasn't awful. Thank goodness.

Here are a few of my faves:









Steph is so pretty. She compared herself to Charlotte from Sex and the City... and, I agree...





...and more.
