new beginnings




Jess & Jarrit's wedding!
I wanted to put a picture of the happy couple here, but none of the pics karen got of them did them justice. (They were both beautiful!)
So basically I grew up with both of them, but they didn't know each other. Jess has been one of my best friends since 6th grade and Jarritt was one of my brother's best friends since I think Jarrit said 4th grade. Here's the catch. They didn't meet through us. They met on a blind date and before it happened Jess asked me if I knew him because she thought i did. I
got very excited because I most definitely did! So there's a clif notes version.
Monday night we were talking about kids and Jarritt was saying he hopes I don't have to work with any kids like he was when he was little. Then he said, "you know how i was when i was little." =)

The wedding was wonderful! It was perfect and I could definitely feel the love.

The wedding party. Yes there were 10 bridesmaids and groomsmen. It's kind-of like where's waldo. I'll give you a hint. I'm on the right.

and we took a hayride from the church to the bolduc to the reception. (maybe 15ish miles). I would say it rained the majority of the time, but it was mostly light only hard for a couple minutes and no downpours. I think we lucked out! And once we got to town the weather was beautiful for the Bolduc House pictures. So everything worked out. Jess was under so many layers you wouldn't even know she was there, but she stayed mostly dry, which is what was important. Most of the groomsmen ended up drenched so they were happy to start drying out at the bolduc. It all worked out though.

Speaking of weddings watch this I LOVE IT! No this is not Jess & Jarritt's wedding and this didn't happen there either... but it's on the topic of weddings =)

I've had my fill of gravel roads (although they all contained memories), reunions at country mart, etc.
now... i'm leaving on a jet plane won't be back for quite a while...

Fall Photos

After admiring the leaves on our runs and my bike to work, we recruited my parents to take some photos of us there this weekend.   After these photos (and tackling some IT issues for my parents) we went to a birthday gathering at the jazz festival on Cherokee Street.  I liked it more than I thought I would. As the night wore on, I started chatting with one of the friend of a friend's there.  I started going in to what a crazy year and some change it's been and, whew, it really started to overwhelm me.   This morning, Mike woke up overwhelmed by our world/specifically our country.  I woke up with that conversation still in my head and also felt overwhelmed.  We treated ourselves to Sump Coffee and had a chat.  It's not always we sit down and talk about what we want and steps to get there. Fall feels like the perfect time to reset.  As we went through the day I also thought, it's okay to miss things in the past, but it woul...

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire ...

Concerts = ♡

Last week was an exceptional concert week for me.  I was lucky enough to catch San Fermin, The Mowgli's, & American Authors.  In one week! My sister, Karen, and I found out San Fermin would be in Chicago at LouFest when we went through the artist signing line.  (Correction: Karen participated in the artist signing line, while I hid behind her shoulder and Ellis, the composer/writer, reached out to me to introduce himself.  This band is full of quality people.  Just sayin'.  I get awkward around bands.)   So we followed through.  Found their show at the Metro (which could not be more convenient for us) and met up with Rubina, my friend, to enjoy their show.  So good.  We were not disappointed.  I was only minutely disappointed because for some reason I assumed they were headlining so when they didn't come out for an encore I was confused.  But then I realized they were the middle act and it made sense. ...
