COLORADO TRIP... and we love you Molly!

Mike and Laurie were very generous to take Derek, Heather, and myself on a skiing trip to Colorado! We were there January 23rd-January 26th. Laurie was unable to go last minute because Molly (the family cat) was getting sicker by the day (more on that later).
We managed to bring the cold and snow with us from Minnesota to Colorado! It was cold and snowy for basically the entire weekend we were there! So much for a break from the winter wonderland we call home!
I couldn't go to Colorado without visiting Breezi!! Friday, I met up with Breezi and Dusty for lunch! We ran some errands which included, but not limited to picking her dad up from the hospital after ankle surgery, going for a walk that turned in to us realizing we would rather have cappuccinos and be at the mall, and meeting up with Mike, Derek, and Heather for dinner! Saturday Mike, Derek, and Heather headed up to Winter Park to ski early in the morning, while Breezi and I slept. We decided to meet up with them for lunch, and I almost cried as we trekked up the mountains in the family SUV! Thank you, Breezi, for not killing us! GREAT DRIVING SKILLS!!! Breezi and I decided to go snow tubing instead of skiing. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! I love tubing!

Sunday, Derek and Mike headed back to Winter Park for more skiing, and Heather, Breezi, and I went snowshoeing! It was a lot of fun, except for the crazy rollercoaster drive! I felt a little woozy, but managed to tough it out for the most part. We also managed to find a "restroom" for me to use in the middle of the park, but only after we tracked over the frozen lake covered in snow cracking underneath us! It is always an adventure with Breezi and I, whether we want it to be or not!

Sunday night Heather and I made a delicious dinner of spaghetti and salads at the hotel, and we got up at 3:00 AM to get to the airport.

When we came home, we had to say our good-byes to Molly. The past couple years have been hard on her. She has given us a couple scares prior to this, but Laurie knew it was her time. She was put to sleep Monday afternoon, January 26th. She was such a sweet little cat, and she will be missed!! She had a very spoiled, fun, 18 years!! XO Molly!!

About Me

My photo
Twin Cities, MINNESOTA
I am a graduate from the University of Minnesota. I have a B.A. in Communication Disorders, and I have taken classes in photography and visual arts. I have a wonderful husband, a house, and two cats. I am an office manager and photographer for a wedding photography company in the twin cities, and I am working to start my own photography business in child, baby, belly, family, and high school senior portraits. I love natural lighting and I like getting as many candids as possible. I also love setting up photo shoots with backdrops, props, and cute outfits! I enjoy "choreographing" shots, not posing! I feel my style is mostly photo journalistic with a little bit of traditional and artistic thrown in the mix. I started this sight to share my work as well as keep updated with my family and friends! We seem to get more and more spread out across the country, but I am hoping to keep everyone informed on what is happening in my life with this blog. I also hope to share a little bit about myself with the people I photograph. I feel like I am photographing important moments and people in their lives, so I want them to get a glimpse of who I am as well.
