Invitations for you, for free.
Alright, so I have been thinking. After designing my wedding invitations, I really enjoyed it and would love to do it more. So, if you or anyone you know is having a birthday party, a baby shower, a wedding, a dog party, whatever, it may be.. let me design them! This way, I get experience and you get a free custom design! we will work on them until they are exactly what you want!

Labor day with Annie: Scenes from Chicago
While Blake studied, Annie and I went on a long-leisurely-lolly-gaggin-lingering-labor-day walk. Although trying to do 'selfers' with Annie Jo wasn't working out so well, I did learn that Annie likes to look out at the water. A lot. She is a pretty introspective dog. I mean, she is half greyhound.
I promise to post more then just my dog. I just can hardly get enough. More photos from this summer travels and foundry experience coming right up! Even cooler is that I got in an Exhibit in Thailand! Cant wait to tell you about it.
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.
