I promise I’ll catch up with my blogging in a day or two.
Just gotta catch up with myself and fight the urge to nap!
Today I’m off to shoot a wedding in St. Paul and it is an
absolutely GORGEOUS day! The humidity is finally gone!
Should be able to really shoot my heart out today without
changing. No second shooter today but it’s all taking place
at the St. Paul College Club This is going to be awesome!!
To my loyal blog readers, I apologize for slacking here
and to my most recent wedding couples, I am STILL going to
post some images for you.
Go out and soak up this perfect day and run off all those
State Fair Pronto Pups!! 
Amy Jes, I’ll send you some Fair food! Sorry you missed it.
Bernadette & Michael

I’ll be posting more from my iPhone today

today as well.
I’m shooting from 9 to 3 today….a nice change!
Have a great day!
BBQ with the neighborhood.

Had a delicious invitation to go to a neighbor’s
for a BBQ. How do you turn THAT down mid-week!
NO COOKING? I’m in!!
Here’s some of the darlings in attendance.
(sisters Molly and Ellie)…in the ‘secret garden’.
Hey, is that a glass of Cabernet in my hand?
Jenn & Michael are in town from Massachusetts
and are getting married at the most beautiful
church just off Nicollet Island. This is the oldest,
continuously used Catholic Church in Minneapolis.
Our Lady of Lourdes.
Can’t wait to get there. The reception, of course,
will be held at the Nicollet Island Inn.
This will be a joy to shoot! Chloe will be shooting
with me and I look forward to working with her.
She is a fellow NILMDTS affiliate.
I sat with my mom for the majority of the day today.
She is in some extreme back pain due to a ruptured
disc. Her surgery is scheduled for this coming Wednesday.
I’ve never seen her like this and it’s hard enough
sometimes to think of a parent as “aging” but to
see her having to deal with and manage pain is
quite another thing…We had a really nice day together.
After surgery, I’m certain that we will have more
of those and I look forward to them. She lost Tim
Russert and now this…NOT a good week for my mom.
Last night I elected to take a call to go to Abbott
to cover a session for a family that lost a 20+ week
old boy. The gentleman that was ‘on call’ was not
reachable so I went. The baby’s name…Joshua.
When i arrived the Chaplain was coming out of their
room, she wiped a tear and I rubbed her back.
She then started to silently sob. I held her for a
couple of minutes and she thanked me for what we
do at NILMDTS and I told her what a special job
she has and that she was, indeed, an angel too.
God Bless.
Mr. & Mrs. Pezic!

God brought a very special couple together
yesterday in a fabulous Cathedral surrounded
by an intimate collection of family and friends.
Off to the Walker Art Center Sculpture Garden
Where Nemanja endured my goofy side.
Then to Ichiban’s Japanese Steak House in Mpls
for some spectacular food fun with our chef “Juice”.
Congratulations and Best Wishes Maria & Nemanja!
I adored every moment we spent together yesterday!
Let me know when the Baby comes! 
Lexi & John’s Wedding Day
February 2, 2008 By 1 Comment
Good morning everyone!
Today Alexis & John are getting married.
Lexi (as she is called), is the eldest daughter
of my mom’s best friend, Judy, who died nearly
2 years ago. Judy’s presence will be felt today.
This is Forepaugh’s….
This will be a small ceremony in a very unique setting
with just immediate love attending.
I stopped out at the Apple store to pick up a couple
of things yesterday and saw my friend, Charlie.
Charlie helped me with my iPhone purchase in December
and is the greatest!
I love how you just stand in the middle of the store and
he rings you up with his hand held device and asks if
you want the receipt e-mailed to you. It’s just such
a breath of fresh air to shop there…personal attention,
fast service, no bull.
Charlie even offered to place my new static screen on my
iPhone for me…I hear it’s tough. He made it look easy.
Thanks Charlie! I’ll see you again. Seriously, ask for
Charlie when you go in…
Jane’s Valentine’s Day cards arrived yesterday
and they look FABulous! I suggested to Jane that we
go with the “pearl” cardstock at WHCC and it
absolutely MAKES the card POP! LLLLLOOOOVVVVE them!
I hope she sends me one!
Say, I did not end up going out to the Health Expo
with Sherrie. I just couldn’t do it. Too much on my
plate. I apologized to her and told her that I would
attend the function next Saturday at Jefferson.
More on that later.
Ummmm, oh yea…cute story I MUST share with you before
I close out today’s entry.
The other day, My sister in law, Kiki we call her,
along with her mom, decided it was time to take Owen
to see the hospital where Reese will be born so
they packed up and drove out to Woodbury and sat
through what they hope to be the final weekly visit
(She’s due on the 6th and everything is looking good).
Now, keep in mind that Owen will be 3 at the end
of March and they have talked a lot about his new
sister, Reese, her room is ready and he understands
some of what is going to happen.
So, the 3 of them leave the hospital and head for
the car and Owen says….”Reese didn’t come.”
I just think that is soooo funny! Love you Owen.
Happy anniversary Sue (Kindra’s mom) & Jesse!!!!
Saw this on Gary Fong’s blog today….I like it.
…John Lennon said it best, “man plans, and God laughs”. My life really changed when I saw the bumper sticker that said, “Since I gave up hope, I feel much better.” …
