True story
Mark asked me to marry him last night, and I said YES! We're thinking of a private ceremony with an open reception to follow, hopefully on September 17.

Kicking with the crew
These are the girls (minus Sara and Hannah) that are always up for a good time out here in our small town. What a great group!
I better name everyone. Back row is Laura D, Kayla K, Janina P, Coralie P (who look remarkably alike in the dim light), and Alisa R. Front is myself, Sonja D, Anneli A, and Caitlin T.

The $300 one
Here's the $300 casket spray I did a couple weeks ago. It was pretty nerve racking to start an arrangement this big! Once it got rolling though, it went fine.
I used 17 stems of blue delphinium, 21 roses, and 5 yellow mini callas.
I felt relieved that it had gone well after I finished it and sent it out.

My favorite:
seats at Target Field.
The wheelchair row at the top of the first level- nice, cushy chairs, lots of space, no one walking in front of you to use the bathroom, and you can lean on the railing!
Twins won too, so it was a successful game :)

Haas (and other babies)
Here he is. Whatta cutie pie. He looks like a little papoose, all swaddled up. His eyes are blue, not brown (yet) like his older sisters.
Shoot, for some reason, this picture didn't rotate. He's got lots of dark hair, and so far possesses a laid back disposition his mother is hoping he keeps. On his first night home, he slept for 7 hours straight!
Another baby we're enjoying. Anni (ah-nee), we call her. Just look at all those curls!
Two boy cousins. Their coloring could not be more different!
The two newest boys in the Bev and Dale grandchildren book, Haas and Cutler (5 months).
Lots of babies to love on!

Granchild #10 has arrived
Haas Michael, son of Jocelyn and Mike made his appearance late last night. He weighed in at a whopping 9 pounds and 15 ounces!
His "future girlfriend" Brooklyn Kate was born 6 hours or so later, daughter to Katie and Brian. I stopped by the hospital to see both of them today, and they sure are adorable!

Playing catch-up once again
Summer's busyness really cramped my blogging style. I'm back on for a bit to give you a little peek into the last few weeks.
Our St Johns trek up Cliff Drive...
there was a great view from the top, and good convo the whole hike.
Fast forward a couple weeks. Fourth of July weekend was good times- went wakeboarding and camping. One night of camping might not sound worth it to some, but it was perfect. We only brought essentials, and hardly needed our tent. After swimming and chillin' (it was 11 girls and 3 guys), we slept under the stars.
Sara working hard, chopping wood. We got caught by the park ranger shortly after, but not before our efforts yielded some firewood.
Amy, Hannah, and Kayla relaxing.
Since the Fourth, work has picked up. Here's a $200 casket spray I did. It was actually hard to find enough flowers and design with that much money! Fun though :) Tomorrow I get to make a $300 one.
In other news, there isn't any news yet. Joce (and the rest of us) is impatiently waiting for her little one to arrive. I moved from the country to their house in town to help with Viv when he does make an appearance. Also, Nat and the kids are officially in MN and took over the basement at Grandma and Grandpa's, where my bedroom happened to be. It is fun to finally have them around!
I did another wedding on my own, one I had agreed to before I got my flower shop job. Stay tuned for pictures, although Jen will probably beat me to it :)
