let it out

Well, it has been quite some time since my last post!! I guess I'm just not the ultimate blogger I've always wanted to be. Hahaha. What a dream, blogger. It really isn't mine, but I do often find myself in deep thought or just thinking and thinking and then the thought "oh I should write a blog and put this all down for people to read, or just to be put on "paper"," yet, I never do it. So I guess we can all blame me for that loss. All of those IMPORTANT thoughts, practically lost into thin air.

Anyhow, this blog won't contain any pictures. I know you've just become very saddened, perhaps even maddened, but I urge you to just hold on and wait for the pictures to come! I have quite a few, some from a very delightful concert I attended just last weekend! It was a great one: Martina McBride and Trace Adkins. I LOVE Martina McBride!! She has such an amazing voice and I found myself in awe most of the show! She is such a neat person to watch perform. You can tell she really puts her heart into it. Well, just wait for those photogs, which I promise will be arriving on here shortly!

Another thing that has been really enjoyable lately is my sweet sweet handsome amazing boyfriend. I love spending time with him and we find ourselves laughing and smiling almost the whole time we're together. I am extremely thankful to have him and I just can't get enough. Such a blessing.

On another subject, this time of year is usually a brutal, cold, white blur here in Minnesota. However, we have yet to get to winter I guess. I could not be more thrilled to be saying this though. If our whole winter lasted without giving us that nasty below zero temps and tons of snow dumping on us, I would be the absolute happiest girl in the whole world. There would be no debating this!!! BUT, I don't see that happening, so I'll just be the happiest girl just for now anyway! Also, without having the weather, it just doesn't feel like Christmas is right around the corner!! Thanksgiving snuck up like Casper the ghost! I now have to focus on getting presents for people, ah, I hate shopping this time of year. When stores are busy I just want to slap all the crazies that just go nuts! But I guess it has to be done! If only I knew what to get as gifts though...

Well it appears as though I've begun rambling, so that means I should probably just quit! Sometimes I just really love talking and as I learned in my Stress Management class in college (yeah, I got credit for a class called stress management, I actually think they should probably require every single college student ever to take this class), anyhow, in class we learned it can really help release some stress just to write things down. I'm not hinting at being stressed, because I really don't feel I am right now, but I guess it is a good thing to write sometimes.

And with all of that being said, just keep waiting, patiently as possible, for pictures and more fun to come soon!!! :) Until another day.

The Day of MLB

The big day came and went!!! Morgan Leigh Hesler is a whole new lady named Morgan L. Bauer. It was a very successful day! One might have called it, The Sweetest Day. :) Anyhow, the ceremony was probably the shortest of any I've ever heard of in a church, TWELVE short, quick, fast, little, tiny minutes!!! What a fun day it was though! I have pictures, although they are all out of order on here! Not a big deal though!


Here are a few of the bridesmaid dresses, along with the brides last dress she'll ever wear again...kidding. :)



The beautiful bride and her little nephew, who fell fast asleep in the limo ride! Big day for the little guy!! Precious.


This is me and one of my verrrrry favorite people, my daughter and friend, Yessica. :)


This picture is just TOO ADORABLE!!! The most gorgeous little flower girl with the extravagant bride, with Richard playing peek-a-boo, all in the limo. So cute.

Three of the bridesmaids with our sunglasses that were a gift from our favorite, Morg. :)

My little Yessica, myself, and Tob. So happy. Pretty people.

This is what we call 3 parts, one heart. Lookin snazzy before the big walk down the aisle!!! <3 this picture!!!

My best friend Morgan and I. Smiling. Happy. Pretty. Excited. Thrilled. Etc. :) Too many words for this one.

So, that is just a little glimpse into the big day that was October 17th, 2009. Now Morgan and her husband are off in Hawaii on their honeymoon. I'm left to the wolves, freezing my buns off, in the great white north, aka Meeny-snow-tah. However I am happy to see one of my best friends be so happy and right where she wants to be in the journey of life.

And to answer the most important question: NO, I did NOT catch the bouquet!!! :) I've found quite the little trick that works quite nicely. Don't worry, my day and time will come, just right when it's supposed.

Other than that, LIFE IS GREAT!!!!! Until another day...... :)

busy busy busy

SO, I definitely need to update this ole thing!! It has been quite some time. The good news is, A LOT has happened!!!! The bad news...it's going to be a few more days before I actually get anything cool posted/updated! The road of fun is almost over, the finale being Morgan's wedding this weekend!!! I'm RRRRRRRRREALLY excited for it! So get ready for a big post, with some even bigger pictures!!! :)

short short short

Well, the last couple of weeks have been pretty busy for me! I went to the Iowa vs. Arizona game down in Iowa City with two of my favorite friends, Morgan and Jessica. We are lucky to be alive.

It was a lot of fun!!

Here are a few pictures, in reverse order, of kind of our day:

Those are all the pictures for now!

This Friday Morgan and I are going to Miranda Lambert's concert!!! I'm so excited for that!!

Until next time.... :)

Something To Talk About

FINALLY! I uploaded some pictures from the Great Minnesota Get Together, or what normal people call, The Minnesota State Fair. Well, my experience at the fair was not well documented through photographs, but the concerts I went to at the fair were. So here is what I've got:

The BonTag Roulet concert which featured Taj Majhal and BONNIE RAITT! It was a pretty great concert, however, I did not get very many great pictures from it. So here is one:

Bon Bon

Next picture is of some cows. I like going through the cow barn and I like touching the cows, but I'm always afraid they are going to kick me. So far, they have a clean record of not doing so.

The next concert was RANDY TRAVIS, with JOE NICHOLS as an opening act! I LOVED it!!!!

Joe Nichols

Joe Nichols getting into it

And at 10:30pm, they shoot off fireworks. How pretty.

That's all I got for this round of blogging, but I've got some other nice pictures and things for the next time. So look forward to that soon. :)

Look forward to a verrrrry fun post coming by the end of this week!!

Good photogs from the concerts I went to this week, cows from the state fair, and so on!!

Other than that, life is great!!!

Let the Butter Fly!!

PICTURE BLOG!!!
I went to the Como Zoo & Conservatory/Park with my father the other day, I was able to capture some really great photogs in the butterfly tent exhibit they have! I love all the butterflies they have flying around, they are so colorful and pretty!!

Here they are:

I apologize for the lack of words/descriptions, but I think the photogs speak for themselves!! Hope you enjoyed!! :) Until next time...
