The Madison Adventure

You are a super fantastic puppy!!! Especially for traveling!

Your friendly neighborhood truck with a plow came by to help us out after the city plow finally came through!  We gave them some much deserved compensation and a bag of cookies!!!

I'm thankful for the internet, and people who are patient enough to create videos about plumbing to help those who are having issues and refuse to call a plumber before giving it a try themselves!!!

I'm thankful to live in a country that believes in voting!

I'm thankful for having the opportunity to take part in such historical events! I'm glad I took a friend up on the offer to go see the President speak, braved the cold and survived being packed in with about 20,000 people down at the state capitol! I will never forget it!

I'm thankful for my sister! We may not have gotten along at all going up, but we're finally starting to appreciate the others company and opinions! I look forward to what the future holds for us, and what we have in store to strengthen our bond as sisters!!!

I'm thankful to have a super amazing best friend for so many years! We sort of ran into each other in high school and I never let looked back, I wouldn't let her! She definitely grounds me and keeps me level headed! I don't know where I'd be without her!

I am thankful for every moment spent with my extraordinary Grandmother!!! She's a super amazing woman who has been through so many things in her years! She's a true inspiration, and I hope to take on as many adventures as she has, and spoil my grandkids rotten (but not literally)!

I am extremely thankfully everyday for my parents! They have always been there for me and supported all of my crazy ideas! I love you dearly!

Someone is definitely enjoying Fall!!! She loves chasing the leaves and chewing a few along the way!!!

Our Anniversary Adventure was definitely memorable!!! Tasty food, shopping, The Blue Man Group, and a soaking wet Cubs game! It was great, and I'd do it all over again!!! Happy 4th Anniversary to my best friend & husband!!!

Yum! Went to dinner with my coteacher. Definitely had to hit up Biaggi's one last time for their $10 pasta nights! So good, and more than worth the price! I already have a list of the other ones I want to try for next year!!!

We went to dinner tonight at Biaggi's. They have a special on Tuesdays through the month of July; $10 pasta!!! 

I ordered their Lobster Alfredo with their gluten-free option of spinach spaghetti. It was super delicious!!! 

Definitely a place we will visit again!

Who doesn't love a ride in the wheel barrow?!  At least I waited until we were in the parking lot before I hopped in...

I decided to try my hand at homemade granola bars this weekend. I had to tweak the recipe in a few places to make it nut-free so I can take them to work. Who knew there is seriously sunflower butter?! Yum!
