...greater things are still to be done in this City...
On Thursday of last week over 140 local churches gathered in the walls of Eaglebrook to learn, grow and be inspired by one another. It was AWE-SOME folks...I am telling ya to be in that room with so many leaders was sweet because you can tell they are all sold out to what they do. To change lives.
The highlight of the day was when Bill Hybels, from Willow Creek, was here for a little question and answer time with Bob. What an inspiring man....my favorite quote from him was "It's simple. I do my job because people matter!" Man do I *like* him!!!
There, of course, was great speaking and excellent music....BUUUTTT what would a conference be without some good humor and streching calisthenics during those lengthy stretches in your seat....
And then....Mr. Bill Hybels himself....

I wish that everyone I met had the same exuberance for life that Jen + Steve do! They are 100%, head over heals in love and the amount of playful, gigglie moments in their life is never ending so far (which you can CLEARLY see in the photos). Although Jen would argue that Steve instigates things quite often....but they are still stinkin cute to me! :)
Jen's laugh is SUPER contagious so when she started laughing like this I was luck that I didn't join in which made my camera start to shake.... :)
AND THEN we went to "Cup and Cone" which is the best, most awesome, White-Bear-Lake-ish Ice Cream place in White Bear Lake!
And then Steve tried to offer Jen a lick of his ice cream......
Um......NO HE DIDN'T!!! But isn 't Jen's face the funniest thing ever???? She looks petrified...

God bless, you, Jen. What a beautiful woman you are. Steve must be a very special man for God to have brought you into his life. You are glowing and these photos capture the love, joy and peace you share. Congratulations to you and to Emily who's photos could talk.

I had the privilege of hanging out with the Vosbergs last weekend to play with the boys and meet little Mr. Rowan. We had some coffee, played with trains, and I was able to see a glimpse of this cute, playful and amazinly BEAUTIFUL family! Mommy, Jill, is one of the wonderfully talented program directors for the Kid-o program at Eaglebrook...so, needless to say they are ABSOLUTELY spunky and have many gigglie nights together!
Doesn't this shirt just crack you up???

My absolutely FAVORITE from the day with these two.....

I CAN NOT WAIT to see this little guy grow up so that I can play with him and his big brother again! :)

(can you hear me screaming it like Ty Pennington does on Extreme Makeover Home Edition when he yells "MOOOVEEE THAAAT BUSSSSS!!" ???? Well....I digress....)
BUT I absolutely *adore* these two beautiful models, Alex and Jess, that I had the pleasure of photographing last week. They are hot and they know it....they even got in a little kissy kiss on the stairs (which you will see later...). Our group of 6 photogs (including myself) trapsed them all around downtown Stillwater, MN and enjoyed every click of the camera!
*my fave* Those eyes and THOSE DIMPLES! :)
