Mark and I headed on down to New Orleans about two weeks ago. It was fantastic. I think I have him convinced to move there in a few years. New Orleans is absolutely gorgeous. I'm not sure why I have such an attraction to it, but I really want to move there.

Of course, when telling people this, I am always met with, "What about the hurricanes!?" acting like a hurricane hits every single day. Yes, New Orleans has hurricanes. Milwaukee has 20 feet of snow. Kansas City has tornadoes. I run the risk of getting shot and mugged every day when I walk down the street. You gotta roll with it.

Either way, I'm heading to Texas for Sophie's WEDDING. I made my dress and Kari's dress (almost). I'm so excited for my year of travel. Next stop UNITED KINGDOM.

I always bring my cameras along, but I never take as many pictures as I ought to. Whenever a good opportunity comes, I always make an excuse to not take the shot.

My problem is that I am a wimp. I feel like flashing a camera in people's faces during weddings is annoying, or that maybe I look too much like a tourist (maybe that is because I am a tourist??) wandering around with my camera strapped around my neck.

Lesson of the story: Take more photographs. I will never get better at taking photos if I don't take photos.

Totally just biked from East side to Bay View. I am weak.
