Ugly Tomato

I spent this past weekend at my parent's house canning tomatoes. I'm hoping that all the work will pay off this winter when I really want tomato soup, but can't bare to open a can of Campbells, or make some with crappy hydrophonic tomatoes.

My parents grew several types of tomatoes this year... regular 'old tomatoes, romas, cherrys, and my favorite, North Dakota Heirlooms. Oh my goodness, the heirlooms are tasty! And, well, quite interesting looking too. Here are some photos:


Here are the tomatoes sitting in a bath of water

08.18.07 -- Nick & Olivia

Nick & Olivia had both their wedding and reception at the Avalon Event Center, Downtown Fargo. (For those of you who attended our wedding, it's the same place... but the second floor instead of the first). What a cool place to get ready... and what a cute couple to get married there. The rain that day hindered us from going outside for portraits, but we made the best of it... exploring the historic building a bit.

We call him Bob.

So, we've made it. My husband Kris and I have been married for over a year. I'm sure we beat some sort of statistic. I once read somewhere that 1 in 10 people get divorced before their first year of marriage. Not sure if that's right (kind of scary if it is), but we've beat it!

Anywho, we went up to Winnipeg for the special event, staying at the same hotel we stayed at for our Anniversary... the Inn at the Forks... which is situated at, well, the fork of the Red River of the North and the Assinaboine River. It's an awesome hotel in an awesome location.... and if you haven't been to Winnipeg, I totally would suggest you drive north and stay at that hotel.

Anywho, we only had one night in Winnipeg, so I didn't take too many photos. Here are a few of the Forks.

Dragon Boat Racing on the Red. They were holding a festival while we were there. I don't know what it is, but it was fun to watch.



Here are some photos from our hotel room...










The husband getting ready for our excellent supper.

Last but least, here is Bob:

He's an ugly doll (www.uglydoll.com). We picked him up at a cute shop in the Osbourne District... and renamed him Bob. His original name is Wedgehead. He is now Bob Wedgehead.

Andrea!

Have I mentioned lately that I really enjoy doing graduate photos?

These are some photos of Andrea, a super cool, super photogenic, super fun graduate I photographed a few weeks ago. She brought along a little posse of friends, which made the portrait session a lot of fun.




Usually, I have to persuade someone to jump in the studio... not for Andrea... it was the first thing she mentioned she wanted to do.








The posse...


Andrea wants to be a Chocolatier... so she made some yummy truffles, as seen in hands.
