How the Time Flies.

Well It seems that half of 2012 has come and gone. Here are a few highlights from the previous months.

January  was a busy little month.

01. Joshua and I got a new little baby bird.        02.  Took a mini vacation in Nashville.

    03. We went our friends' wedding.                      04. I'm getting closer to finishing my arm!

February was full of fun as well; Joshua and I celebrated out 5 year anniversary; as well a valentines day. Later that month, Paiger and I went on a sister trip for a few fun days in Chicago!

01. Paiger and I waiting on the El.                        02.  Chicago sign.

    03. Hershey's stop before Topshop.                   04. Shedd's aquarium. 

March was all about relaxation. 

One of the best book to films adaptation I've seen.

 01. The weather finally warmed up.                  02. We had our first Sno of the season!

                                                                                      (Wedding Cake is the very best)

April was by far the most wonderful month!

My sweet Joshua asked me to marry him, and obviously I said yes. 

I cannot wait to share little snippets of the planning process and engagement celebration!

May has been a sweet little month. Joshua and I took an engagement trip to St. Louis, and ventured into unexplored parts of Memphis together. 

01. View from our hotel in St. Louis        02."Tree star" found at St. Louis Botanical Garden.

03. A fun second hand book/music store.   04. Lovebird initial bracelets.  

I expect June to treat me very well. This first week has been fun, and I've got lots of plans for the rest of the summer. I hope y'all's first half of the year has been as happy as mine.

Update

Wheeeeeew! What a crazy, eventful, incredible, summer it has been. I am finally able to put up some pictures from our Holiday in Chicago (which was almost a month ago). Chicago was seriously AMAZING! I didn’t wanna come back. I realize this is the way 90 percent of people feel while on holiday, but in reality I really want to move there; it was perfect. We stayed five days, and still didn’t accomplish everything we set out to do. We will be returning in the spring.Here are a few bits from our adventures around city

I was impressed with the public transportation system; it was relatively clean, easy to navigate, and  reasonably close to most places.

We did some tourist-y things like; go to a Cubs game, Lincoln Park Zoo, Sears Tower, Navy Pier, and go to Milleum Park. Even when we’re locals I think a few of these will be favorite places to visit.

Things we missed:

The Art Institute, Field Museum, Beach, Eating a deep dish pizza, Chinatown during the sunlight.

I cannot wait to be back there in the Spring time; there is tons of fun still to be had there.

All these being said, I know I haven’t blogged nearly enough this summer. Now that school is in session again I’ll have somewhat of a routine going on (no more running around various states like a mad woman); making it easier to allow blogging time. I look forward to sharing little snippets of my life with y’all.
