iPhone Photos: An afternoon in Stillwater, MN
After spending Sunday afternoon doing yard work, Cole and I decided to take a little jaunt to Stillwater, MN. I've been wanting to go for ages and sadly we picked a bad weekend since it was their annual Lumberjack Days (not as cool as it sounds). Anyway, we were still able to see the town and eat at a fun little diner that had delicious cheese curds, hamburgers and malts. I could seriously live in Stillwater with its steep hills that overlook the St. Croix river and charming town and I even found my house of dreams that we could totally afford if it wasn't a longer commute for Cole...

I'm feeling mighty sentimental about last summer...cooler temperatures, Michigan, longer hair, Torch Lake...

By the Mississippi
It's been too long since my last outfit post. Things are still so crazy and discombobulated that Cole and I never have enough time for shoots. I appreciate all my lovely readers sticking around and bearing with me during this new transition in my life. It was super hot and incredibly humid today with temperatures in the high 90s (it actually felt more like 110 degrees). Even though we were drenched in sweat, we soldiered through the shoot and I think it turned out pretty well. It doesn't hurt that the Mississippi is so very pretty. Oh, yeah. If you hadn't noticed, I'm blonde again. After my lame attempt in February, I decided to give it another go. I'm much happier this time around. Hopefully, I can keep myself from dying it for a bit and actually enjoy my new color. What do you think?
