a few photos + that time i cared what people thought

Last weekened, David and I headed out to Chicago for David's friends' wedding. I bet right now you're thinking, "you went to Chicago for a wedding and you only have four pictures?!" Cause that's what I'm thinking right about now. Here's my sad, pathetic explanation:

I was scared David's friends (all but two of them I hadn't ever met) would think I was weird cause I take so many pictures. Now being out of the sitaution all I can think is, "WHAT?!?!" Becuase 1. I am weird and what's the point of hiding it? 2. His friends are so weird! (although, I should have predicted that, knowing David) 3. Why would I honestly ever let the judgement of others ruin my capturing of one of the best weekends I've had all year?!

If you know me at all, you know that really isn't the kind of person I am anyway. Rarely do I consider the judgement of others because I always say to myself, "who are they to judge you on being yourself." And up until now I've done a pretty decent job of following that the best I can. For some reason though, meeting all of David's friends at once was a little intimidating (again, they are NOT the intimidating type, but how in the world would I have known that?) and so I figured I wouldn't be weird and take so many pictures. In fact, I left my camera in our hotel room the whole time. I'm crazy.

Needless to say, I'm entirely bummed that I didn't get any pictures of such a fun weekend. I've learned from this though and am making a promise to myself to try not to ever let this happen again. In the meantime, I'll just be thankful for these few photos that I have.
