the reason for the season...the jobeknutson wedding!
this would have been a great photo if not for that annoying professional photographer's light in the middle...stupid professional photographer...ruining MY shot! the nerve! ;) 
me & liz. doesn't she look stunning? 
me & schmol
me & Jen
me & Clay...despite the appearance of a forced smile, he really was having a good time ;)
and on Sunday...SO happy to be home with our pea!! check out her Colts gear...can you tell Grandma Pierse was in charge of getting her dressed?
The last week has been busy busy busy for Clay & me. On Tuesday Grandma Pierse arrived to hang with Luci so that on Wednesday Clay & I could head up to Chicago. On Wednesday & Thursday we did a crazy 350 mile tour of the Chicagoland & Rockford areas to see if we could find a suitable place to live should we decide to head back that way. Don't get me wrong...we'd LOVE to live in the city again, but it just isn't feasible for us now with Lil Luc & our budget. So we set off for some 'burb shopping...because my previous lives were spent in the city...like any respectable urban dweller I avoided the 'burbs like the plague. Turns out there are suitable places outside of the city...we did indeed find two places we really liked...(Crystal Lake & Plainfield), a few we liked & may like even more in years to come as they develop their downtown (Cary, Oswego & Yorkville), and pretty much ruled out several others that we thought might be appealing but were not (Woodstock, Huntley, Rockford, Roscoe, MacHensey Park, Minooka & Channahon...although Clay fell in LOVE with a 'ready to build' lot there). All in, it was a very successful two days of 'burb shopping.
And to top it off we lunched with our friends the Nielsens, spent 2 nights with the Determans, an afternoon with the Tankborns, and a great day of wedded bliss with the newly married Knutsons. It was a fabulous, fabulous trip. I must say the dance party that followed the wedding was my favorite, as Schmol had the guns blazing in a way I haven't seen in more years than I'd like to admit, and Jen somehow managed to cut up the dance floor despite having a teeny weeny newborn at home.
i have great friends. thank you great friends.
and i have a great mother-in-law who took wonderful care of my baby...the special kind of care that only a grandma can give that brings peace of mind to baby's mama...so that baby's mama can enjoy said great friends who live too far away.
thank you mother-in-law.
i love you all :)
