Illustration Friday Theme = Change
I recently celebrated my 16 year anniversary of moving to Chicago, quite a long time for someone who had only planned to stay a year or two. I commemorated by drawing all the places I have lived in my sketchbook...and tomorrow the change continues as we close on a new house in a new neighborhood. I never thought we'd leave this one but I guess it's true that the only thing that you can count on is change... so I will cherish the memories and wonderful things that have happened here and look forward to wonderful new adventures on Washtenaw.

I've moved around a lot in my life. My dad was in the military for 30 years, and I was married to a Marine.
There's only one place I actually chose to move to, and that was Missoula, Montana. I've made a home here, and moving would be very difficult.
Your entry has inspired me. I think I will make some pics of favored spots around the valley, so that if I ever have to leave...

I love it. Especially how you capture bits and pieces of life and merge it all into a collage that tells a story.
