Parents in Chi-town
One really nice part about being in Chicago is my mom and step dad are closer then ever before in Minnesota. They drove down to my little brothers football game in Wisconsin on Saturday and then continued their drive to us in Chicago! Chicago has some really cool history. We went on the Chicago Architecture cruise last night. It was actually really cool. We had a great guide, and it was very informational.
The coolest is Streeterville where we live. We aren't even on land, we are debris. Mr. Streeter's boat got stuck on a sand bar and it all built up from there. Look it up.
Also, This video my best friend Megan sent me about photographs. Its amazing.

Normally, I see beautiful photographs and I think "How can I do this myself, how did they create these photos?" but this time, all I could do was think about how I want to stand for something like the people in these photographs, I want to be courageous like many of the people in these photographs.
In my mind, thats a successful photograph. The one that truly inspires.
Cabs with puppy
Public transit with this little pup is a new experience, as of public transit wasn't enough of one. 80% of cab drivers driving techniques (if you can call them that) make me sick. Literally. It's the stop and speed up to slam on brakes kind of driving. Then the turning ten times to skip waiting for lights. I really have been getting car sick. Not sure how Annie survives. But she does.
She also refuses to go number two anywhere but in the middle of the street. Not in the gutter, not in the shoulder but directly in the middle of the road. Then I get to dodge traffic to try to be a good citizen and clean it up.
Disclaimer: that is not a joke, but my life.
The best day of my life...
Was also the most important day of my life. Thats pretty great, and I know its said a lot. And I really hope everyone who says their wedding day was the best day of their life means it like I mean it. Because I like to think everyone deserves a love that is worth celebrating, and committing to forever it.
I cant wait to post more wedding photos, and I almost posted a ton more, but this one stands alone to me. It looks exactly how it felt.
Thank you Kate Osborne for all your beautiful photos.
Also I got to be in a shoot that Kate shot for Sarah's amazing flowers. They got featured on a wedding blog see here on Kate's blog! Kind of fun!
Here is one of my favorites from that shoot.
Becca and Spencer
I am so happy this happened. Meet my gorgeous new sister in law, and her wonderfully hilarious husband. Ever since I met these two, I admired just how in love they are. They just adore each other, and I love it. We just decided that before Blake and I take off to Chicago to do some pictures for them. So here they are!
