Don't worry...I'm still here!! I know it's been 2 months since I've written anything, but more liked 3 since a real update. So sorry, things have just gotten so busy. With the madness of trying to find a job, trying to plan a wedding, and trying to find a place to live, life's been pretty busy. Oh by the way, did I mention, I am now officially employed! Better late than never right? I will be working at St. James Hospital in Chicago Heights on a part adult part pediatric unit...perfect! I...

I thought it would be easy to find such a traditional dress, but the only ones I could find were the extremely over priced dresses in the bridal shops. And if I did find one I liked, they had...

This past weekend my Aunt Joni and Uncle John, being the wonderful people they are, had an engagement party/get-together for our bridal party out at their home in Yorkville. It was a great night and a great chance for everyone who could make it to get to know each other. As usual my aunt made some amazing appetizers and desserts, which everyone enjoyed.
