//Life//
Blake is almost done with his first year of law school and I couldn't be more excited. Everyone tells us that the first year of Law School is the worst and that it keeps getting less stressful. I am grateful that despite the hard and busy year of school, we have still had the most amazing first year of marriage. We leave to Utah for the summer in a few weeks, and I couldn't be more excited. I cant wait for a summer filled with amazing people, creative opportunities, outdoor adventures and more of my sweet husband.

Lately I have been reading like crazy. This way I can just hang in the library while he spends hours on hours studying.
I read Believing Christ. It helped me understand the difference in believing in The Savior, and believing He can do what He says He can. I am almost finished with The Maze Runner Series which I have enjoyed immensely. I read To Kill a Mocking Bird with Blake out loud and I still can't get over how many lessons I didn't understand in high school when I read it. I am currently reading the last book in the Maze Runner series and The Peacegiver. The Peacegiver has proven to be quite promising. I read the authors business book called Leadership and Self-deception which literally changed my life. I ordered the first book in the Game of Thrones series, Eve and The Choice made in Eden, and I want to reread Lord of the Rings. I also love book suggestions. Please Suggest away my dear friends.
My brother in law, Brock, came to visit from NY for easter. I am so glad he used his little time off to come spend time with us. He is a ER Doctor (something I could never do), and is very, very busy. Because he has been in NY since I have been with Blake, i haven't had a ton of time with him. He is so great, and I once again am reminded how lucky I am to have married into Blake's family (does anyone love their in laws like I do? Not sure).
So we went to the beach by our house one afternoon. To say Annie is excitable would be an understatement. She keeps us on our toes.
Here is a roll of Kodak Portra 400 I took that day with my Minolta.
Beautiful film = no editing for me.
I was just home in Minnesota for about 5 days. They got 16'' of snow the day before I got there, which made for a perfect pre-Christmas visit. I am not sure if I have ever expressed (I probably have) just how much I love that state. I really love the midwest, but what I love even more is Minnesota.
While I was there it was Annie's first time seeing snow, i had some quality Birch House time with Megan Daas, took pictures of the family members I saw, and of course saw The Hobbit with my parents. I have a bunch of photos to come, most importantly that of my family. I was inspired by a post Katie Kett (who you just met in my recent blog post), about making time to take pictures of our loved ones.
I also posted a few wintery photos on the Birch House Tumblr and an update on Birch House's blog.
Did I mention I need glasses? I went in to the Dr. a bit ago, and come to find out I was not seeing things very clearly- ha. I went through the Warby Parker at home try on deal, and had such a good experience. But I am so happy with my new glass. Apparently things are sharper then I knew.
