Myrtle Beach, SC

As promised, here are a few photos from the past couple weeks down south. I am realizing the many differences between East and West Coast beach. But that is another blog, for another time. For now, here are some lovelies from Garden City, South Carolina. Enjoy!

Myrtle Beach, SC

Hey y'all! Just a heads up that I will be in Myrtle Beach, SC for the month of June, and then road tripping/camping our way back up to MN the first week in July.

Why is this important? Well, it may take me longer than normal to get back to you as internet is spotty at best, and I'll be quite busy! That being said, I love pictures! So I'm sure I'll be around here and there for some beachy picture posts.

What are you doing? Well, as I've mentioned before, Bluejay and I are on staff with a college ministry called Campus Outreach. Each summer, we (and the other staff) take about 100 college students to Myrtle Beach for the Summer Training Project.

What is the Summer Training Project? The Summer Training Project (STP) is a summer opportunity where you are living, working, playing, and learning with other college students for nine weeks in  Myrtle Beach. Each student works a full-time job during the day and participates in Bible studies, evangelistic outreaches, discipleship groups, ministry training, fellowship, and other activities during the week. This demanding, yet challenging schedule creates an ideal environment for students to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and develop ministry skills and leadership qualities. To sum up, it's pretty rad to live on the beach and talk with college students about Jesus! If you want to read more about it, you can check out this blog.

Any more questions? And because I never publish a post without pictures, here are a couple I took with my iPhone this morning!

Dan & Chelsea {lovebirds}

I was going to wait to post this until Monday, but considering it's Chelsea's birthday, I thought I'd give her a photo blog birthday present! Happy Birthday Chelsea!!!

Chelsea and Dan are adorable! They are the perfect Minnesotan couple. Like seriously! They are both so sweet, so they have the whole "Mn nice" thing going for them. They are BEAUTIFUL! And they love to do all the fun Mn outdoorsy stuff like fishing, hiking, hunting. Chelsea even has a horse named Star who is gorgeous. That's every little girls dream!

I met Chelsea and Dan "out in the country" at the horse barn for their session. It was perfect! Chelsea cracked me up because she wore a beautiful dress and heels and was booking it as we walked out to the pasture, side-stepping manure and climbing through electric fences like it was her job! Meanwhile, as a true city girl, I wore WHITE LEATHER FLIP FLOPS and was tip-toeing around all the mud and horse poop. In my defense, I don't regularly come in contact with horse poop here in the cities! But it was more than worth it to get these photos.

Chelsea and Dan, you guys we so rad! I can't wait for your wedding this fall. Thanks for being so awesome and up for anything. It's great to have clients who trust me so completely! Much Love!
