Charity:Water
Some of you remember how I donated my birthday to charity water? No? Maybe this photo will remind you. Okay, good. We're all on the same page. I'm happy to tell you that for my birthday, I raised $250 to give clean water to people in need. No, I didn't meet my goal of $500, but that's okay. I...
6 Months In
I've written this almost a dozen times. Erased it almost a dozen more. How do I describe what it's been like being self employed for the past six months? The initial elation of quitting my job and being self-employed was followed by the panic of no income. The fear that was, at times...
Germany In Brief
I have a lot of stories to share with you. Stories about Germany. About our adventures there. Personal and historical. Stories of adventures and lazy days. Stories to make you laugh, stories to make you cry. There are many stories waiting to be told. But they'll have to wait just a little bit...
At the Cabin
Today I'm officially on vacation for a month. Which means I'm purposely not blogging instead of just forgetting. I'll be back with beautiful photos in February. In the meantime, I'm still taking on wedding clients, and my 2013 season is filling up! I'll be slower than normal to respond to emails,...

Vacation
I'm taking a vacation. A mostly real vacation (more on that later). Not a vacation where I go to someone's wedding (which is still really awesome) or a vacation where I'm really at a conference (although WDS rocked my socks off), but an honest to goodness vacation. So, from January 15, 2013 to...
Time
Time is a funny thing. Days seem to creep by, the minutes ticking slowly into hours. Yet, the months rush past, blurring into years. One moment you're a kid, the next, you're an adult. And with the rush of the holidays, the short days with scare sunshine in Seattle, and the tragedies that have...
Vancouver, BC
Back in April, we took a trip to Vancouver, BC. I had never been, and since we had a free companion fare coupon for Amtrak Cascades, we decided to go to Vancouver. The train was fun, although slow. But we read and watched the beautiful scenery, and enjoyed ourselves once we got to Vancouver. I...
North Cascade Highway
I took Highway 20 (or the North Cascade Highway, as it's known) to get to Mazama for Jessie & Adam's wedding. I wanted to stop and snap photos every 5 minutes, but I couldn't because I hadn't budgeted enough time to get stop before getting to Mazama on time. Dang it. I did stop once on the way...
After WDS — Playing for Keeps
After coming home from WDS, it felt at times that it hadn't really happened. Which was something I didn't want. I wanted to cherish each moment, to remember it. To learn from WDS and my time there. I thought about WDS a lot. It changed my views on so many things. I thought about WDS as I drove to...
