Dear Moustache May,

Has it really been a whole month!? I want to thank all of you for the kind words and great photos over the month. It's served as a great source of inspiration and excitement. This has been my busiest month of work and life in general to date and it was really good to have this outlet. I want to thank everyone that the [at] symbol good possibly link to but I don't have time or space so I will say thank you to mackle for the opportunity and to cdub for showing me that this site exists. All the others, thank you again.

I especially want to say thank you to my biggest fan, loudest cheerleader, taker of 90% of my photos, and love of my life: FutureMrsTheStraubInLike9DaysOrSomething ... or Laura for short.

Also also, if you ever make your way through Atlanta, my door is always open.

Also also also, Join the contact list!!! It'll keep us in touch
