i just found these pictures from last summer, i took my sisters to the zoo when my mom was in the hospital - it was, of course, the hottest day of the year, and with our ivory skin, we were all burnt to a crisp - but the lake is right across lake shore drive from lincoln park zoo, so we walked over to the beach and jumped right in with our clothes on! they loved it!

last summer at the north shore, anna's baywatch
bridget, greta, me and anna mary at the zoo

reasons to be happy today:



easter is only three days away
ariel kissed me when he thought i was sleeping
this morning i drank a cup of coffee and watched the snow fall
i'm getting married in five months
i have wonderful, faithful, beautiful friends
i made my parents laugh last night
all of my laundry is done
we missed our first nfp class - i'm in no rush to learn all of that
Jesus doesn't give me what i deserve
tulips will start blooming soon
i have the most beautiful sisters in the world
