They found Nate’s body in Pokegama Lake – I don’t know anything else. Just that the family is filled with grief. Please continue to pray for them as they are heading to the hospital, which will be a very difficult time, and in the coming days, weeks, years…I don’t have any details on memorial services [...]

Funeral + Vacation = Time together with family & friends
We will be heading up north on Thursday morning – I absolutely can’t wait to get there. If you have been following my blog for a while, you’d remember this post and the absolute heartache I felt last year, stuck on bedrest, not able to join my amazing family in our annual 4th of July [...]

Praying for something.
We feel sad.
We feel a little defeated.
We feel a lot of time with the Lord is needed.
In the past few days, our families have heard some pretty tough news. The first was the passing of our good friend, Judy. Her son, Matt, played football with Brian at St. Olaf and Matt ended up marrying one [...]

Busy Busy

Brooke & Jeff Engagement Session
Often times I have to remind myself to soak in what is all around me. I take things for granted and simply move on, day after day, not opening my eyes to my surroundings. I have worked in downtown Minneapolis for 5 years. There are moments, walking on Nicollet, where I just stop and look. [...]

We have an 11-month-old
Today is June 10…Logan is 11 months old today. Crazy. I know everyone always says this, but how DOES time go so quickly? I feel like it was only a few months ago that I was telling Brian we were expecting, watching my belly get bigger and bigger, arriving at the hospital to be induced, [...]

Erickson Family Session
I got a little lost on the way there. I went East instead of West and ended up on a little sandy beach across the lake. Across from the beach where I was supposed to be. Oops. Thank goodness for cell phones. I got back in the car and met A, T and little Brook [...]

Stories.
You may not know this about me, but I’ve always been a writer. Maybe not a good one, maybe not a well-known author, but I’ve always enjoyed it and found joy in writing. I’ve kept a journal since about third grade, was an English major in college, and have attempted starting a novel at least [...]
