Professional Pics!

Photos from Kati and Ryan's lovely day are in, and I've finally chosen my favorites.  Blessings to Kati and Ryan as they begin their married life!

Kati and Ryan's Wedding

Last weekend was the much-anticipated wedding!  We flew out to Phoenix to celebrate and enjoy a long weekend with Kati and Ryan.  Here are a few pictures until we see the professional ones.

Now for the big move on Sunday.  The house is in mid-pack-up and a complete mess.  I'm feeling anxious and ready for this business to be over.  Here's hoping we love our rental house because moving is quite unpleasant.  

Maybe caught up?

Okay, so another long-overdue post.  In April we celebrated Shaun and Bill's marriage.  After waiting many weeks for her professional photos to arrive, we were thrilled to see them!  Now it's been several more weeks, and I'm getting around to posting my favorites.  Sorry for the delay!

Weekend Getaway

Last weekend, Joshua and I dropped Forrest at Poppy and Gigi's house, and then hopped on a train to Chicago.  My friend Allison is getting married in Germany this summer, and it was time to celebrate!  She had an entire evening of entertainment planned, including fun times on a charter bus with the many other guests, a delicious dinner, a stroll through Millennium Park, and a show at Second City comedy club.  Sunday Joshua and I visited Lincoln Park Zoo and walked around seeing some sights.  Here are a few picture highlights.

We had a delightful time despite the gloomy weather and nearly two hour train delay getting back to Galesburg.  I already got another use out of my bridesmaid's dress from last month.  Forrest had a good time with Poppy and Gigi and didn't seem to miss me nearly as much as I missed him :0)  Success!

Best wishes Al and Vince!

Going to the Chapel!

Last weekend we celebrated Shaun and Bill's wedding.  I must say I was quite neglect in taking pictures, as their photographer seemed to be doing such a great job :0)  So, pictures will have to wait for about a month. It was a beautiful ceremony, with two joyful celebrations following, a more-traditional brunch and a bowling party later in the evening.  Can't wait to share some pictures in a few weeks!

Love you, Shaun and Bill!  Here's to many years of happiness.

Now That's Lucky

Joshua and I attended his cousin's wedding on Saturday. I couldn't resist this photo opportunity in the hotel's lobby. Made me smile.

A Lovely Wedding

Joshua and I drove to Monticello for Betsy and Adam's wedding this morning. They got married in Allerton Park at 10. It was already quite hot, but it was a beautiful day. Betsy looked beautiful and happy, and I was quite jealous of the no-frills, relaxed theme of the entire event. The ceremony lasted less than 10 minutes, followed by enjoying a small cake, and then snapping a few pictures. Many years of happiness to Betsy and Adam!
