Things have been pretty crazy over here this past week trying to prepare for our upcoming trip, getting things in order at the shop. We leave in 12 days and I (Erin) have two trips before our actual trip! Tomorrow I'm going to Calgary, Alberta for a wedding and then I am off to Fargo, North Dakota for a family reunion the weekend after that, so it'll be a crazy next two weeks. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">We realized that we never showed you any sneak peeks from our photoshoot that we did with our dear friend <a href="http://brittanyhildebrandt.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">Brittany Hildebrandt</span></a> in September!
