this weekend

Hello! Sorry it’s been so quiet around here! We had a long weekend of traveling and when I say long I’m talking ten hour drives both ways, but it was so worth it!  We went to West Virginia and got to see family and be at my good friend Anna’s wedding. It was a lovely [...]

We made it back to Illinois.  It was such a wonderful Christmas that it was a little sad to leave.  But nothing quite compares to sleeping in your own bed and drinking coffee from your own mugs.  Mom and dad got me a beautiful new desk and desk chair for Christmas, and  Joel built the [...]
