Como Park Conservatory and Zoo

This weekend my family met up in Minneapolis to celebrate Cub getting his white coat in vet school. Technically he doesn't graduate until next May but his class received their white coats on Sunday. While we couldn't actually be there for the white coat ceremony we were able to head down on Friday evening and stay through most of Saturday. 

Saturday afternoon we spent at the Como Park Conservatory and Zoo (NEVER let me leave the house again without my Nikon D300, I thought we were just going to be chilling and hanging out -so all these photos were taken with my point and shoot - which works but isn't my Nikon D300). Sooo here are some pics from this weekend's adventures:

Dad, Cub, Mom, Marc, and Me

Ma & Pa

Love my parents

We really did see WAY more animals at the zoo,
the giraffes are just my favorite by far so I have WAYYY more pictures
of them. The flower pictures are the ones that turned out the best though.

What did you do this weekend?
Anything out of the ordinary?

Four Months as a Mrs.

I seriously cannot believe we have been married for four months!

It has been marvelous for sure. This past month we have been getting back into the swing of fall and figuring out what life will look like this fall. We got to make a trip back to South Dakota for my grandfather's 85th birthday party - soooo wonderful.

Our house is still for sale (I am hoping our house has sold and we are in a new house by Christmas). Selling a house sucks. End story.

Marc is really getting into the groove of work - he finally feels like he knows what he is doing and is really loving his new (as of mid June) job - more importantly he gets WAY more vacation time which means we get to take more trips and spend more time together (WONDERFUL).

Okay. So this post is semi-lame. However. I am attempting to get back into blogging. I will do it! I love it, so must get on it.



***Completely unrelated side notes from this past month***
-I got a new camera body (Nikon D300) which I am totally jazzed about and sold off my old camera body (Nikon D60) - which I am a little sad about because I loved that camera but I was sort of at the top of it.
-Now to overcome the learning curve of a new camera
-I have been crocheting like a fool lately and loving every second of it.
-I have been reading some lately - it is wonderful to have time to read for fun - I recommend Pastorix by Nadia Bolz-Weber
-Sooooo much on my mind. It will take me a few posts to get caught up.
