As we continue to juggle this complex transition, I’m enjoying the small task of sorting through photos of the past five years, picking out favorites and imagining them as part of our (dream) house in a variety of ways. Maybe a coffee table book, or a large wall of framed prints, or a small collage of themed photos in a bedroom. This is all just dreaming, but it’s a positive way for me to think about our past five years, right when I could use that positivity.
I’m going to start posting a few here every now and then, just for fun but not as any kind of edited retrospective. It’s more like, “Hey, I just found these cool photos!”
You should be able to see some of them full-screen if you click on them. (Others aren’t high-res originals because I’m still looking for them.)

I love the idea of filling a wall with photos like these…a daily reminder of your nomadic past, preserved in the place where you decided to lay down roots. It’s almost poetic.
I’m hoping to do the idea justice! I did add a bunch of photos since you commented, not that ya gotta go back and look (you’ve seen them all anyway). Just felt like the initial post was kinda lame in terms of quantity.
Thanks! I did add a bunch more since you commented, not to say ya gotta go back and look, but so anyone else reading knows the last one you mention is no longer the last one. I like to complicate things. 🙂

I’d hardly call the initial post lame!
Stunning photos!
But if I have to pick a favorite?
The last one.

Wow… another great batch!
So many amazing photos. I hope you post more of them. I really enjoyed this!
That’s great feedback – I’ll post more for sure. Thanks.
Gorgeous.
Thanks, Eric!
Wow, you three have seen sooo much — what an adventure (and a well chronicled one). Best of luck in finding a place to settle in Madison!
Thanks!
