Wonderful Karson

          Finally, Another post and I got to see Karson! When Karson Shane was born on March 8th, 2012, I was unfortunately traveling for work and was sick :( So, I could not see them. But, one night Mama Tana, Karson and I caught up and had dinner. I was lucky enough to get some wonderful pictures of the cutie! I am hoping to capture some special moments of the little guy in the future. I hope all is well with all of you and enjoy!

Characters

My friends and I enjoyed a walk in the beautiful gardens in St. Could, MN were I had the honor of talking my friends engagement photos. I have known these two characters since my freshman year of college and was glad to take some pictures and have some fun. Today, January 8th, 2012 this lovely couple are celebrating their 2 year anniversary. I have always been blessed to be apart of their life through the good, the bad, and the ugly. I am excited to capture more wonderful pictures of these two and their family :) I hope you all enjoy!

This the lucky photo that was their wedding invites!

Favorites of France

It is surprising that I went to France 4 years ago. Man, how fast time goes by. I enjoyed living in Montpellier, France for six week while doing a mission trip with Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU). I am very thankful and blessed that I was able to go and experience new things. Here are some my favorite from the wonderful city and my other travels in France. I am hoping to post more from my beloved trip. I hope you enjoy and Happy New Year!

I have always enjoyed being creative and artistic. The years I have spent at North Dakota State challenged me to do different things even though it was hard. This collection come from different classes and different years through out college. I even have pieces that I have not have docemented from college and this past year. A lot of these pieces are acrylic and oil paint. Several of them are very large pieces. If you are ever interested in knowing the size of them, please let me know. Some of them I have given to my mom, some have been presents and some of them my friends have bought. I hope you are enjoying the New Year!

Jeremiah 29:11-18

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.  You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.  I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile"

Once again, the New Year is upon us. It is quite scary how another year has come and gone. I look back on the adventures and experiences that I had and I don't regret anything. I always look forward and learn from the past. This verse is probably the a hand full of verse that always have been quoted wrong. The Lord promises to protect us and guide us if only WE call out to Him. Sometimes in the busyness of life we forget what is important. Like spending more time with friends and family, praying, forgiving others, being more honest and the list could go on.  And I forget. I forget what should be most important to me.

Jesus

I hope all of you take time to reflect this last year. I know there are things in my life that I will take on the challenge and tackle them this New Year.

Have a blessed and safe New Year!
