Crop of a Lifetime!

2 weeks ago I met with 70 of my closest friends at the Double Tree hotel in Novi Michigan for a fun filled girls only weekend. Nothing better than catching up with old friends and meeting new all while you are scrapbooking. I was able to get about 12 pages done and that is pretty good for me :) Here is a group picture of all of us. I can't wait until next year!!!

My "W Bus" girls! You all ROCK! Love ya!!!It's all about Jen :) There were 6 of us there!

Obama Rally

Tuesday night after I got out of work Shaun and I headed downtown for the Obama Rally. It was absolutely AMAZING!!! When he was announced the winner the roar from the crowd was deafening and just, WOW!! There were over 200,000 people in Grant Park and the surrounding area and it was peaceful in the meaning that there was no fighting or crowd problems. Very different from what I experienced on July 3rd when we were down there for the fireworks. Obama's speech was everything that it needed to be and so much more. I am so happy that I was there for this event that was history in the making! Here are a couple shots that turned out OK.

Remembering Susan

One week ago I got the sad phone call from Christina that our beloved Susan had passed away. Sunday night, November 2nd she had a heart attack and died with her husband at her side. Susan was one of the most amazing women I have ever met. When I moved to Chicago she helped me in so many ways and I will forever be thankful. She was only 34 years old when she died but she lived those few to many years to the fullest. She married a wonderful man named Chris and they have the most amazing little boy named Evan who is just as spunky and fun as his Mom. I will be sad for a very long time with the loss of my dear friend but Susan would want me to move on and remember the fun times I had with her so I will do my best to do that! I love you Susan and I miss you terribly!!!

Taste of Chicago, June 2008 with Evan

Love this girl!!!

Skyy calls me tonight and tells me to get on myspace and look at Alyssa's pictures on her page. I get on there and this is what I find.

I am always looking for new pictures on there so they knew that I would see this. I love this girl so darn much and I wish I could hug her tight every day!!!

The little Fairy

Skyy made the cutest Fairy that I have ever seen! I really wish that I would have been there to get these photos myself but I am super lucky that Alyssa likes to take pictures too. Thanks Alyssa!
