What a difference one year makes...

One year ago to the day,

my sisters and I are were in the windy city...

We met up with a group of fun people for a photography workshop.

And it was on April 23, 2011

that I officially met Jack McDonnell.

It was a fun filled day and one that 

I know I will never forget.

I enjoyed taking pictures of one of my favorite places

But, even more so I was happy to get to know Jack better...

If you would have told me on April 23, 2011 that in just one year I would be

dating and in love with this fellow photographer, I would have shook

my head in unbelief, but inside I would have been absolutely thrilled.

One year has brought changes and it completely amazes

what God can do when we are surrendered to his will.

Once in awhile in the middle of an ordinary life 

God gives us a fairy tale.

So glad to have spent the last year with someone like Jack-

looking forward to creating many  more memories with him!

Sister time!

So what does a house full of girls do when

their parents are out for the evening?

EAT! :)

We debated which restaurant to dine at::

Mexican,

Italian,

Chinese,

American...

Since we couldn't choose we decided to have a little bit of it all!

The menu included:

Pretzels & cream cheese

Crackers & cheddar cheese

Mozzarella sticks

Taquitos

Pepsi

Tortilla chips & salsa

Mint Chocolate Chip Shakes

In early celebration of Brooke's college graduation,

my sisters and I went out for dinner and to a concert.

A sister is the kind of friend you would travel far to find,

only she's been standing right beside you all along.

Sisters are the perfect best friend.

How do people make it through life without a sister?

A woman without her sister is like

a bird without wings.

So thankful that God blessed me with two sisters!
