Chicago Trip

Oh heavens this is going to be long!
We had an absolute blast!!! My Uncle Eric and Aunt LoLo (Laurel) Live in Chicago, in the Lincoln Park area with their twin boys Jack and Parker, so we went over to visit them. My dad flew in from Montreal where he has been for the last 3 months. We felt like royalty during our stay, they were fabulous hosts! We hit the Sears tower our first day, along with Michigan Ave. and Millenium Park (way cool place)! We had Chicago Dogs for Lunch, and the best (seriously) Chicago Pizza for dinner our first day :) The next day we headed out to their cottage on Lake Michigan. It was so beautiful and completely charming. At nights we gathered out on their porch to play cards, and just talk and hang. We had incredibly great food catered to us on the beach :) with beautiful sun sets. Since we have returned home, Becca keeps asking for Jack and Parker, the beach, airplane, and Joyce (inside joke). Thanks Aunt LoLo and Uncle Eric! We miss you guys already! Thanks to Jack & Parker for Beccas new nick name LBB (little Bo Becca :).

My Public Love Letter


Last night I was up thinking about how great life is. I have a husband who knows all of my weirdo habits, and quirks. He knows everything about me, and he completely loves me! That is an incredibly liberating feeling. Seriously! I don't have to hide a single thing about who I am, what I like, how nuts I can be! You know me so well I love it! I love it! I love it! When you stop and think about it.....isn't it great to have someone love you? And to love that someone in return? What an incredible feeling! Thank you Nathan! Thanks for Loving me, you are the best seriously! I am excited for our whole life together, I am even excited to be old and gray with you :) It took me a few years of being married to feel this way. That first year of our marriage life was turned upside down, and it was hard (really hard for me), but each year we have been married I have just come to love it all sooo much! It's true what they say...that it only gets better, that is for Sure! We both agree that we love each other more then we did the day we got married. So much more! Even if there are days when we just want to scream (and there are plenty of those days:). It is all well worth it! Thanks for everything babe! Sorry I went public with this but I just felt like sharing the love.
