Wedding Weekend!

This weekend was full of wonderful things ... it is going to be hard to remember all of the "little things" that made it so special! This may be a long list! I will write what I can now, and perhaps add more later. I hope to add pictures as I get them!

• a hotel full of out-of-town guests
• wine & deep-dish pizza
• a friend to curl my hair
• breakfast with the bridesmaids
• lending a hand wherever possible
• five days of sunshine
• the colors of autumn displayed on the trees
• a perfect back-drop to a beautiful wedding ceremony

• her ballroom gown
• walking arm-in-arm with my brother
• his smiling face as she came down the aisle
• 4 white roses
• my grandparents sitting in the front row
• all stress dissolving as they become one

• dancing with family of all ages
• "the worm" - not once or even twice, but 4 times
• celebrating a special couple, so excited to have another sister!
• seeing them together again, how happy they are

Mr. & Mrs!

• meeting up with college friends for lunch
• the way she hopped out of the car to see us
• enjoying the surreal October warmth and pristine views on Lake Shore Drive
• out for dinner and gelato with siblings
• meeting their new puppy, getting to pet him

• amazed at their dedication, cheering on my roommates in the Chicago marathon
• proud of their finishing times!
• watching a soccer game, with skyscrapers and blue sky in the background
• putting our feet up after a lot of walking
• making dinner and dessert, enjoying a homemade meal together
• a quick cab ride to the airport, no delays while traveling
• great friends that were willing to pick us up in La Guardia on their day off
• coming back to home sweet home after an amazing weekend with family & friends!
