I’ve spent considerable time today working on a backlog of photos I’d had sitting on my laptop for months. I used to be so much better about this, posting pics from trips and friends’ visits within a week or so of when it happened. So without further delay, here’s part one of my photo update! This is from when my good friend Laura came to Phoenix to visit for a weekend. Andy had left for the Southern Short Course photojournalism workshop that weekend and it allowed for a lot more girl time. We didn’t stay up late braiding each other’s hair and eating Twizzlers like we did in high school, but nothing beats time with awesome people who you’ve known so long they’re just family.
