After 4 years of living in Mankato, we have decided to take an opportunity to move back home to Washington. We are sad to be saying goodbye to all of the friends that we have made, many of whom have become a second family to us, but when life hands you an chance like this you have to jump on it. We made the trip in 4 days and were so lucky to have my mom along with us to help entertain the children and take a shift or two behind the wheel. We stopped a few places along the way to document the journey and even kept track of our progress on a small map on the rear passenger window. It was a long, stressful, but fun trip and we could not be happier to be back home!
Today I started a project to photograph some of the students of the Minnesota State University, Mankato Student Dance Coalition in and around Mankato. I began the project with the organization's president Sydney Burch at Sibley Park down along the Minnesota River.
There are few places in Mankato better than Sibley Park on a spring day and there is no better couple than Luke and Jenna. They were so fun to photograph and their absolute adoration for one another was evident throughout our time together. I wish I could be there for the big day, but I know that it will be an amazing event and that these two will build a wonderful life together.
