Exciting News!

Sorry to have been radio silent for so long. After completing my NAN auction donation our family took a trip to North Dakota to visit family and friends for the month of July. We go every year sometimes 2-3 times a year. Each time we spend as much time as possible there. Luckily, my day job as a graphic artist is portable. This time we stayed longer to allow more quality time with friends and family. Both my husbands family, and my family and siblings all live in this beautiful state.

Summer is definitely the time to visit, especially the month of July. The sun rises early and doesn't set until 10 pm! You will never see the a skyline as beautiful, or sunsets as rich (photo taken during Medora Musical). The weather is warm and you can spend the entire day outdoors if you wish.

Winters are a different story... LOL! and sadly probably what the state is best known for.
I would highly advise a visit in the summer to one of the many tourist areas like Medora, located in the Badlands. If you like to trail ride, you will find some of the prettiest views.

The reason we stayed so long this time is that we won't make it back in December for our annual visit at Christmas because I will be 8 months pregnant at the time! Yep, I'm expecting baby #2 January 17, 2011!! We are very excited about our new addition. Although it will mean some downtime in the studio. At least we won't be traveling around the country with this one which means I should get back into the studio MUCH sooner.

Just wanted to share the news. It's not horse related, but it will very much affect my time in the studio. The good news is that I've been working on 5 new horses since we returned and will have something available to post about, and for sale soon!
