Or not. It’s time to get it done. I’ve put it off and put it off and now I’m experiencing a bit of discomfort. You know… just enough that you’re aware you have a sore tooth and so you keep poking at it with your tongue and making it worse. I have two that are completely impacted, one that is at an angle and one that is just poking through. But that’s the one with the problems, naturally. So on September 18th, I get to get them out. Ugh. I’m still trying to decide if I’m amused that the quote I was given includes the cost of the pain medication I’m going to need.
I’ve been dreading this for awhile, but now that it’s been decided I’m anxious to get it over and done with.

I told you I’d get these up sometime soon. 
It’s been crazy-busy week, both at home and at work. My two-year-old, Brandon, has asthma and we think he has severe allergies, too. With the wheat harvest my husband and I have been absolutely miserable with allergies. Brandon has been fighting his asthma most of the week. On Monday, he came down with an ear infection and then on Thursday I ended up taking him into Urgent Care. Poor little monkey has walking pneumonia. 
He’s doing much better today and is acting more like himself. The rain that we had helped to knock some of the allergens out of the air, and I think that helped, too.
Work has been interesting and I have had a few 13 hour work days. I just have to keep telling myself the overtime will be worth it, and remember the upgrades (camera, computer, lights, lenses, etc) that I want to buy. Not that I can get all of them (heck…. not that I can get ANY of them with just one paycheck!) but a girl has to keep dreaming and saving!
Anyways, Mary Beth is one of my coworkers and I talked her into letting me take some Bridal Portraits of her for my portfolio. We went over to University Park in Grand Forks and had some fun. We got a few looks, but not too many as that is a popular spot for photographers. There were three others there while we were! These are a few of my favorites!
Mary Beth and Cory were actually married today! Congratulations you two. I hope you had a beautiful day!
Speaking of weddings, I’ll be photographing Kim and Ty on Friday, in Fargo. I’m so excited to be a part of their special day. Ty is a soldier who just returned from overseas earlier this summer. I know Kim is excited that he’s home and none of us can wait until Friday!

Here are some of the promised pictures! Fair warning…. there are a bunch!
These first ones are from vacation. A couple of pics of the boys having fun. That’s “Uncle Jon” pushing them at the zoo. My brother (who probably doesn’t read my blog) doesn’t like having his picture taken, so will probably shoot me for posting this, but this is one of my favorite pictures from the week. Then we have pictures from Yellowstone Park. Yes, that’s Old Faithful. Gotta have one of that. The fire was actually outside of Yellowstone, near the East Entrance before Cody, Wyoming. As sad as it is to have a wildfire, it was pretty incredible to see. This is one of the better ones that turned out. You could see the small fires along the hillsides. So many lights, it looked like a city scene.
This next set are the pictures of Michael that I did before vacation. We had such a fun time playing at the park! I don’t remember if I posted this before, but Michael is the same age as my youngest. Only older by a few hours. His mom, Amanda, and I were in the same childbirth classes. Happy Birthday Michael!
And here are some pictures I did of my new backgrounds I got for the contest. A rare time when Isaac cooperated with me!!! The light colored one is called “All Natural” and the darker one is “Hickory”. I still need some pics of “Petals”, but I think I’m going to bribe Brandon on my next day off.
Whew! I think that’s it! I’ll add pictures of Mary Beth’s bridal pictures soon!
