extra pictures

Michelle here hailing from the left coast. Don't know if you've heard of the forest fires plaguing california, but a huge one started in the santa cruz mountains last week and I could see the smoke rising through the trees from my office window. It's sobering to realize with one spark, entire mountainsides can be wiped out.

On another note, here's some extra pictures from our college friends' visit to Chicago a couple weeks ago that were on my laptop...

Some of the funniest people I know, can't hang out with these guys without laughing, a lot.

This great shot is compliments of Jess!

Lydia and I spent a romantic evening watching the sun set on our rooftop deck...
