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.)

Love the picture!! You both look so nice. What a special event that has meaning to y'all. Thank you for sharing. I also want to say Happy first thanksgiving as a married couple!!
Thank you, Shela! I'm blessed to have you as a reader.

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.
A lovely story to make us single gals drool and eat our hearts out!
Marriage is a blessing! Im glad Ellie has such a wonderful companion in life!
R u planning on adopting?
Hi there,
We are both open to the idea of adopting and look forward to seeing what God has in store.
Blessings,
Ellie
Is ur husband or husbands father famous that's why u don't reveal their names?
Really cute pic:) Ellie, how much do you weigh if you don't mind me asking–you're so slim! Hereditary maybe??
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,
Ellie
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:)
You're so beautiful!!!
Can I ask when are y'all planning on a baby?!
best wishes from Brazil
In Christ love

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. π
