First off - a big thanks to everyone who visited and commented on yesterday's photo. I knew you all were lurking out there! You don't need to wait for me to get engaged to leave a comment! :-)

Seriously, thank you so much. It's going to be a crazy wonderful time ahead for both Ali and me. If I stop and really thing about it all, I get a bit overwhelmed - but I know we'll figure our way through. I really look forward to the day when I'm making my way north and knowing I don't I have to go back after the weekend is over. It'll also be wonderful to be with someone who won't mind at all if I stop photograph shopping carts and fire hydrants!

I'm looking forward to exploring Toronto and more of Canada, and coming back to Home-Sweet-Home Chicago every now and again.
