I just really like this photo. I'm not exactly sure what I like so much about it, but I thought I'd share it with you.

I said yes!

Some of you may have heard the exciting news! I am now officially the future Mrs. Mark Hewitt! :]

On Monday, Mark and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary. We had stayed in Red Wing the night before and had gone on a boat tour of the Mississippi. We did some shopping and hiked Barn Bluff.

On Monday we went to Frontanec State Park and hiked to Lake Pepin.

When we go to the shores of Lake Pepin, Mark popped the question!

I said yes :)

Spring :)

Spring means many things here in Minnesota. It means blossoms on all the cherry, apple and plum trees. It means prom time for the local high schools. It means new beginnings. It means rain & lots of it. It means farmers working hard to get the crops in the ground. It means garage sales & antiquing.

Here are a few photos of my Minnesota Spring!

I tried my hand at hair styling! :) This is the hair-do I did for Sarah Welander for prom!

It turned out really cute!

This is my pup, Rugby! I love his expression in this photo! He seems to be saying "Ahh, Mom, another picture?!"

This is the Grain Vac we rented from Smith's Mill in Janesville. Due to the strange fall we had, getting grain out of our bins has been a challenge. This thing has made it a breeze!

This is my mom's cherry tree in bloom! I love it!

We make a ton of cherry jam and jelly each year off of this tree!

Close-up of the cherry tree blooms! I'm hoping the frost we got a few days ago didn't nip these buds in the butt, and that we will still have a cherry crop!
