After that eventful Friday, waking up Saturday morning early was not easy!
I didn’t mind it, though- my best friend, Nikki, is on the planning board for Wausau’s MS walk, and they needed photographers. We happily volunteered, and headed up to Wausau on a beautiful Saturday morning,
Volunteers were busy registering walkers and teams were gathering for pep talks and team photos.
I sang the national anthem…
…and they were off!
The course was beautiful, winding along the Wisconsin River, under little bridges, and through the woods.
The course was full of volunteers and people ready to help.
Once walkers made it back, they we greeted with prizes, face painting, and lots of snacks!
Great job, Nikki and the committee- your event was fantastic!
We left Wausau and came back home to attend a Kentucky Derby party with some of my ballroom dancing friends. Our resident liquor expert and mixologist…
I was all fancy…
We watched the race, of course.
Then we spent the night drinking fancy drinks, dancing on the porch, and telling stories! Thanks for all the fun, dancing friends!
I love being busy, and things never seem to slow down. We slept soundly after that busy Saturday, woke up early, charged our batteries, changed out memory cards, went to Tapestry, then had an extended family photo shoot. Jonah’s family came to see us for family photos a couple years ago, and this time, she brought her siblings, their families, and her parents. Look at these cuties! 
I love working with families, because it is so cool to see the family resemblance through the generations. I can see it in their faces, or their smiles, or the way they laugh. I can even see it when there is no biological connection- children imitate their parents, so kindness is passed through families, too!
Families are awesome.
Thanks for bringing your whole family to work with us, Jonah! 🙂
I love my job. I love capturing moments and I love being able to give back to my community. I’m a lucky girl!
