Fireworks #1: Lisle Fest


Enjoyed a fun day at the fest eating tons of yummy food, browsing the craft stands, debating whether or not to ride questionably unsafe carnival rides, wondering why there were so many red and green fireworks, discovering a new favorite band for Mike, and overall just hanging out with my three favorite peeps! 😊

Mike has never been a fisher, but ever since we moved in he has just loved making use of the pond in our backyard! :)

Happy Father's Day!! 💙


Oh, Dad... 😂 

First and foremost: Thank you so much for your silliness, your lame jokes, your extravagant stories, your spontaneous nature, your happy-go-lucky attitude, your adventurous personality, your child-like excitability, your sarcasm, your goofiness, your ability to always make everyone laugh. I have certainly gotten almost all of those traits from you—and I’m so glad that I did. Although I’m sure our antics drive mom nuts most days, I am so happy for all of the abundant laughter and endless fun we constantly have together.

Thank you for always pushing me to follow my dreams. Truly, no one has ever encouraged me more or been more supportive than you have. Because of you, I have always felt as though nothing is impossible as long as I follow my heart. I can also not thank you enough for welcoming Mike into our family with open arms and making him feel at home—always. And I never expected my DAD to be SO absolutely excited and completely thrilled about my upcoming wedding day! Seriously, this guy is more giddy about our big day than most of the women in my life! 😉😂

But most of all, thank you for always loving me unconditionally every single moment of every day. You truly are my number one fan—as well as my biggest hero. I am forever thankful for all of the things you do on a daily basis for our family. I love you with all of my heart! Happy Father’s Day!! 💙💙💙

I got to sit down with the very woman who designed my engagement ring to design yet another custom piece, this time my wedding band! It was so special and I cannot wait to see the finished product!



Later on we celebrated Father's Day one day early with the Donelson and Marsceau crew! We enjoyed a lovely dinner, and then later on the boys all went fishing while the girls stayed back to relax and enjoy one another's company!

So I made my first official big sale at work today (closed on a homeowners policy, a rental dwelling policy, AND an auto policy!) and I came home to flowers and sparkling wine from my incredibly sweet fiancé! 🥰🍷💐

And just like that we’ve decided on the menu for our reception! 🤗 We are so extremely satisfied with the amazing staff and the mouthwatering food choices! It’s such a wonderful feeling knowing your big day is in the hands of such professional, caring people! Thank you to my wonderful parents for helping us to make all those difficult choices 😉, and an even bigger thank you to my Aunt Susie for being so helpful and answering all of our many questions! ❤️



We also got to take a peak at our hall again today after the tasting... I am still just so blown away at the elegance and beauty of the room every time I see it! 😍 November 10th can’t get here soon enough!! 💍💒💝

Had a blast tonight at Matt's 35th birthday party! There was food, swimming, and watching the Hawks game on the outdoor, inflatable TV screen!
