We went to a White Sox game in the pouring rain! We had seats right behind homeplate so it was hard to catch any baseballs there but some guy a few sections over did get hit right smack dab in the nose, so I guess were we were was a blessing. Oh and the White Sox won.
Jake and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary on June 5 which happened to be the same day as the wedding. Sadly there were too many people at the sealing so we were uninvited, but what can ya do? I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. I guess it's true what they say, "Time flies when you're having fun!" I love you Jake!
Here is the beautiful bride and her husband! The wedding dinner and reception were so fun! They had three different stations of food at the dinner and you bet I went to each one. Then at the reception they had three different dessert stations and again I attended all three. It really was a huge party. Everyone was dancing, eating and talking all night. I bet it went on for 4 hours or more. One fun part was the photo booth they had. We took our turn at it and probably were the only ones there who didn't look normal in their photos. But I think the not looking normal is more common for us anyway.
The wedding was at the Cuneo Mansion. Maybe some of you have seen this mansion on the popular movie My Best Friends Wedding. This was the place where they were having their wedding and Julia Roberts kissed the groom in the gazebo. We looked everywhere for that gazebo and finally asked where it was and they had taken it down for some reason. This was the only picture I have of the mansion cause they wouldn't let us take pictures inside. The grounds were gorgeous! What would it be like to live in a mansion? I may never know.
The night we arrived in Chicago we found out that they had not ordered any flowers yet. For some reason they thought that they would be able to go pick them up the day before and Jake's mom would be able to put them together when she got there. This turned out to be a huge project! We had to go into the city try and find any and every white flower we could. I honestly didn't know how this was going to turn out because there were so many different kinds I was hoping we'd find a way to put it all together. It took a lot of trial and error but it ended up looking beautiful in the end. Maybe I'll become a florist. Me and Jake joked that it was funny we paid to fly over and decorate the wedding. Ha, but I was glad to be there to help!
While there we met the beautiful Hillary Clinton aka Grandma Eyre :)
Jake's little brother Nick is leaving on his mission to Brazil in September and it was fun to have him along on the trip. We will be gone when he leaves on his mission so we are pretty bummed about that but we wish him well!
Mary Poppins is a must see! I loved it!
Jake and I were able to get away for a day and go to Six Flags! I had never been there before and there were some pretty intense rides. I felt like I was a teenager again it was great! That pretty well sums up our trip. Here's a little trivia for you....Why is Chicago called the Windy City?
