Congratulations Jon and Laura!
Had a great trip out to Chicago to see them get married. I'm excited they are going to be in Seattle for awhile too! Indoor with small point and shoot camera means not so great pictures from me.
ImageImageImageImageThe Seattle contingent was small but strong....myself, T&G(below) and the Lonseths! Here are T&G with awesome local hosts, Adam and Char, they have a great place just north of the downtown area...and great BBQ.
Image
My first visit to Chicago was a good one! I was impressed with all the neat public spaces and fun roaming to be had. Makes Seattle seem quite small.

ImageHawaii too expensive? Here's an alternative for a few months of the year!
ImageI understand no trip to this City is complete without deep dish pizza and a Chicago Style hot dog....check, check! They both lived up to expectations. From now on my Hot Dogs shall have large dill pickles involved!

It was a great afternoon to witness two of my friends get married. I felt pretty luck to get in on the small family wedding. I think a lot of both of them and wish them the best in Portland.
ImageImageImageImageImageImageYes Dave and Angela this will be you before you know it!
Image
This was my first wedding composition, but I think that will be pretty obvious. It wasn't actually IN the wedding thank goodness, but afterward. A tribute to the Sheahans.




While in hindsight I see sending a photo of Laura in ski goggles to Craig wasn't the ideal way to matchmake......hey, the results speak! They gave Sarah T and I both a big thanks for our little roles.
