After over a month of staying here in Chicago, Patrick and i decided to make the trip to see some family and spend the weekend at his family’s cottage in Michigan. The weather wasn’t particularly cooperative so instead of swimming and boating as we would usually do, we hung out with his grandparents, aunts and […]

I was trolling through some old random photos from the past year and realized that I never posted these few photos I had taken when we were in New York. (Photo credit to Patrick as well, as I didn’t take the picture of myself haha). We didn’t really get a chance to take many photos […]

Though we might not have a perfect view of the lake, we are blessed with a spectacular southwestern view, and thus witness sunsets like these almost every night. Gorgeous! Enjoy.

I’m sure I’m not alone in hoping and praying that Spring comes quickly, takes off its coat and decides to stay awhile already. Last week, us Chicagoans got a glimpse of Spring peaking through with some warmer temps and gorgeous sunshine, enticing mobs of people, myself included, to the lakeshore to walk, run, bike, rollerblade […]

So since today is St. Patrick’s Day, I thought I’d show some love for the Patricks in my life! Above is my wonderful and handsome husband and below is my wonderful and handsome dad (you can’t really see his face though and I’ve learned I really should take more pictures of him because this is […]

It’s strange how having company takes so much out of you. I love having people here to visit and getting to see family and doing touristy things I don’t often do, but when they leave and the dust settles from a whirlwind visit I’m amazed at how pooped out I am! I don’t know if […]

Looks like a lovely winter day down by the lake right? Now imagine stripping down to your summer’s finest and tennis shoes and taking a running start down the beach into these icy waters… Cold yet? When I first agreed to sign up for the Polar Plunge if my husband raised $500, I never imagined […]

Happy Valentine’s Day! Or as we said in my parents’ house “Fallontimes Day”. I may have now changed my name but I will forever, at heart, be a Fallon. Haha After an early morning and productive day grocery shopping, adventures at Ikea, and braving the traffic back to the city from the suburbs, I had […]

This is my beautiful sister, Jordanne. I had the amazing pleasure of hosting her over the past weekend in celebration of my 26th birthday. I know what you’re thinking…”dang. she’s getting old,” but I assure you – in my mind I’m still 21. I have to say I don’t FEEL any older, except the occasional […]

I was playing around with some pictures from our honeymoon and thought I would post a few of my favorites. Enjoy!
