4th Date of Christmas

For our 4th date of Christmast we met up 

for a quick lunch to celebrate 12.12.12. @ 12:12

but we're horrible about timing...

Josh was parking and I was inside ordering when 12:12 came around,

so we totally missed the 12:12 at 12.12.12 deal.

Oh well....

Lunch was very yummy and it was so good to get my sick self out of the house.

And I just really like Farmhouse and really REALLY like Husband (:

Anyway, enough with the mushy gushy..

Happy 12.12.12!

Glad we're still here!

3rd Date of Christmas

 For our 3rd date of Christmas we moseyed over to see the 

Lincoln Park Zoo lights,

we ooohed and ahhhed and then made our way into

the warm gift shop to try on ridiculous hats

(and then were shocked by the price and promptly took them off.

Although a pig hat is now on my wish list :))

It was so much fun.

Maybe I can convince Josh to go again this weekend (;

Sick day

lemon honey tea
get well flowers
light filled windows

Sometimes sick days at home are the best.

Please excuse me while I go take another nap
and try to kick this monster cold.

Happy Tuesday.

Dear April,

(all photos by April) 

To say "Thank You" for all the little moments of us that you've captured

so beautifully just does not suffice.

So I guess I'm just going to have to say it over and over and over again (:

thankyouthankyouthankyou,

love,

P.S. please come back soon?

Hey,

If I promise to give you all the coffee you want (even Starbucks...yuck)

 and take you to the zoo all the time,

will you stay???

Sincerely Your Sister Who's Not Sure How To Say Goodbye Tomorrow,

love me do

Tonight we both (completely on accident) wore the shirts 

we wore the night Josh said "I love you" and put a shiny ring on my finger.

Somehow knowing this made the night all that more special.

Even though I coughed and sneezed my way through all of zoo lights 

and the signature room AND the cheesecake factory :P

stupid cold....

The girl with the hair...

This girl has the most amazing modelesque hair I have EVER seen.

Long, full, curly, GORGEOUS.

So jealous.

She totally got the good hair genes (;
