Shana's Maid of Honor

In case any of you were wondering, Tinder town works! How do I know this you ask, well because my bestie Shana met her future husband Jeremy on there. They both committed to swiping right and now they are happy, in love, and engaged to be married this October! 

I. Could. Not. Be. Happier. Well, I take that back, I was slightly happier when Shana asked me to be her Maid of Honor. This is one of the greatest privileges in a friendship and I am completely and utterly honored. 

Shana, being the sneaky squirrel that she is, asked me to come over and hang out. I walked in the house and started chatting it up when she asked me to come into the kitchen. "Would you like something to drink?", She says. I replied, "Yeah, whatever you have open..." and kept talking. That's when I noticed she was pointing to a bottle of Prosecco. I finally slowed down to read the label...


UM WHAT? (this is about the time I started crying and hugging her). Shana, then asked if my answer was Yes? HELL YES it's a YES!


A week or so after Shana asked me she also asked our mutual best friend Kristin. The plan was to go to this awesome restaurant for dinner, but unfortunately it didn't work out. We ended up at the Houghbrough House, where they have a live polka band! The place is crazy loud, so unfortunately there wasn't a nice quiet opportunity for Shana to ask Kiki. Shana decided there was no time like the present; she gave Kiki a box with a balloon inside a pin that said pop me. Once she did Kristin found a ribbon that said, "Will you be my bridesmaid?" Aww... <3


Of course she said yes!


I can't even put into words how much I love them. I'm excited that we're able to share these momentous experiences in our lives together. I look forward to so many more life celebrations with these two!

Chiberia

Chicago winter's are God awful. Frigid temperatures, snow, slush, harsh winds, and thunder snow that seem to go on for months and months... oh wait, they do go on for months and months, from November to March! Chicagoians have gotten creative with our winters referring to them as Chiberia or Snomageddon Even though it's dreadful, it does look beautiful when it blankets the city...




And this one's for all my facebook friends... Thanks for the update guys :/
