Another Jessica Sprague class!

Well, she's my fav. I just started another Jessica Sprague class and hope to post my finished pages here. This class is called Beautiful Evidence and is all about the beautiful evidence of a enjoyed life.

My other fav is Rory, who discontinued our lost sprint card and hooked us up with a home internet service. He actually said it was a blessing in the end because with this new plan we're saving $50 a month on internet. I suppose all is well that ends well, but man, I wonder where that internet card went!

Lost and still lost...

I hate losing things. It's the worst am-I-this-out-of-control feeling for me. Because I am a fantastically organized girl, so to misplace something just doesn't work in my world.

So, pretend that a girl was on vacation last week and say she lost her husbands two hundred plus dollar internet card. This would make her bonkers, right? Right.

All this means for you blogland, is that we don't have internet at home until this tiny little important computer part surfaces. And it just has to. Because I actually remember thinking, "that's a good spot, because what if I lost this thing..." while putting it in a zippered pocket of my laptop bag. But alas, it's gone. Along with my inner-peace.

My dad had a box at church for lost and found, and being clever, charming and witty, he had written in his scribbly Paul Harrington font "Lost and Still Lost." I can't wait to find this little guy. Or find $200 laying on the street. Either would be fine at this point.

A quick trip to the farm

On my way to the wedding, I stopped by our family farm and got to see Sarah and Brooks, my cousins who have been in New Zealand for the last two years. I am so excited to have them back in the states and can't wait to see them a whole lot more now. Kathy and Mark came from Minneapolis for the evening and we played with super sweet and wonderful baby Ida (Sarah and Brooks') and husked corn for the cows and we ate clams that Mark brought. And by " we ate clams" I mean, I watched other people eat them.

Hej is Hitched!

I went back to Minnesota this weekend for the lovely Heidi Elizabeth Johnson's wedding. It was a glorious celebration. Everything had been prepared with great thought and great heart. I went to Gustavus with her, worked at Flathead Lutheran Bible Camp with her and we even attended Luther seminary together. The wedding was filled with friends from back in the day and it was so great to reconnect.

Hej and her hubby, John.

Hej was one of those radiant, calm, enjoying-every-moment bride. It was so fun to watch her soak in her big day.

We each drank our beverages out of these mason jars. The wedding was outside at an orchard in Stillwater, with beautiful, worn barns and lots of colorful gardens spread around the property.
The wedding celebration concluded with a square dance. So super fun, and so super hot. The whole day was fantastic. Congrats Hej!

Vintage Baby.

I am taking a Photo Editing class right now and just learned how to vintage hand-tint my pictures. I'll tell you what...not all pictures should be vintage hand-tinted! Rory and I do not look very good washed out with rosie cheeks! But Sonna does. So I'll share this picture from two winters ago.
