About a month ago my dad and I shot a wedding for a couple he knows. It was so much fun, but was also my first time without Barret for a whole day, from 7am to 11pm. I loved the day though. Getting to use a NIKON and grabbing my creativity to shout out ideas for the photos. My dad was super excited too and I must say he did a stunning job! The pictures are finally up and on his website along with the thousands of other pictures he has taken.
In two weeks we will all be heading up north for a week and I am so excited to take Barret (and Steve) to one of my favorite places. As a kid my family went up to visit my grandma ever summer and I LOVED the lake. It is no doubt about it, the best place to swim and the best place for a vacation. I know Barret will love it too, and who knows, maybe our little family will start a tradition of going up to stay on the chain of lakes every summer. (I would love that). This trip has had my attention since the day it was mentioned, way back, last July when my grandma past away. I have been looking forward to visiting my childhood memories, smelling the lake air, hearing the rustling of the trees in the wind, swimming in the oh so cold lakes, canoeing, showing Steve where my grandma lived, taking hundreds of pictures of family, friends, and the nature that God has surrounded us in, and saying goodbye to Grandma. 
I can't wait! For all of this is going to be such an emotional week but I would not have it any other way, getting to see cousins that I haven't seen since, I don't even know, maybe I was 10, visiting with Aunts and Uncles, reminiscing of the years past, remembering Grandma and all of her love, laughter, and everything that is and was so wonderful about her. It will be so wonderful.

Enjoy this wonderfully beautiful day.
Oh and check out my dad's website and the pictures we took at the wedding. http://www.bobboehmphotography.com/
