Dinner in Chicago

November 21, 2015 by 25 Comments

Thought I would share a picture with you all this evening! Mr. Handsome’s dad does consulting work for school districts across the Midwest. Every November, he hosts a dinner for his clients and their families in downtown Chicago.

Three years ago, I attended the dinner as a friend of Anne (Mr. Handsome’s sister). At that time, I had only met my now-husband a few times, and we were not yet in a relationship. Two years ago, the event took place four months before we were engaged, so I went as Mr. Handsome’s girlfriend.

This year was especially meaningful, as the dinner was on our five-month wedding anniversary. I can hardly believe how quickly time has passed since we tied the knot in mid June!

We were thrilled to find out that my father-in-law had booked a room on the 66th floor of the iconic Sears Tower for this year’s event. (It was renamed several years ago and is now the Willis Tower, but I don’t think too many people actually call it that.)

    The picture is so far away I can't see your faces. You can crop pictures closer to see faces in most photo programs. Look at the top bar then move the mouse to have a square around what you want. It would get rid of all that hallway.

      That's very sweet! I exercise multiple times a week and strive to eat healthy, but it's also partly hereditary. I weigh about 125lbs.

      Blessings,

      Thank you for replying:) Just noticed your mom is slim as well so thought it might be hereditary. I exercise too, (Pilate's) and weigh about the same, but you look a lot thinner! I'm trying to work on cutting down my sugar ha! Enjoy your posts:)

      Thank you, Luiza! We're waiting on God's timing, but we would both love to have a fairly large family. (4-10 is our range.)

      I am blessed to have you as a reader. πŸ™‚

    Congratulations on your five month anniversary – you make such a cute couple! Just wondering, if you don't mind being asked, how tall each of you are?
