Wrapping up the week....so much time has passed for a non-journaler.ridiculous love letters.beautiful Chicago and now I want a doughnut.


"Where did you and mama go?" the littlest guy asked Jeff when we came home.
"We were in Chicago."
"I want to go to the city with you...and see the bean!"

He loooves walking around down there {can you blame him?}...
...and he loves the bean.

Surprise, surprise to him... I had some things to do that week...so I took him along.
Everyone came along actually...and my sister and nephew came with us too!

It was cool, then warm, then sunny, then it rained, then sunny again...welcome to Chicago!
No matter...we had a great day.



{I keep seeing these "You are beautiful" stickers all over the city...
not sure who's leaving them for me, but Thank You! wink}

I am horrible at keeping a journal. Horrible!

I have probably started 9,000 notebooks in my lifetime, pretty notebooks!
I start to fill one out, then read back and think...Did I really write that? I sound so stupid!
...then the lovely, flower printed journal gets tossed.

But! I have this blog! and I try to keep up here.
This is pretty much all my children will have of their mother's writings.

Except all the love letters I wrote to Jeff... {and his to me..} all from our pre-marriage years..
...all the mushiness. and corniness...they are so embarrassing to read...even to myself!

If I ever become terminally ill, I will burn each letter I wrote...
"You looked so cute in your gym uniform today, my little handsome love muffin..."
I didn't really write that, but it's about what they all sound like.
{and he was cute in his gym clothes btw!}

..and the letters from when he was away at college? Oh my goodness...
Hahahahahaha!!!!
You would have thought we were separated by a war..each in a different country...
..when really, we were only two hours apart and saw one another pretty much every weekend.

If I die suddenly...well then, have fun reading and laughing children.

All this to say..I like keeping up here.
Even if it's just photos of what's going on in life...
..and it's been a while since I posted...for a non-journal-er that wishes she was good, it's bad.

So here's to posting more often! Cheers with my coffee cup.


....and cheers to your weekend.
Hope you have a fabulous one.

XxOo
