I'm Back!!

Hi everyone!! The last week has been crazy busy, so I haven't had a chance to post anything new. Things have finally started to settle down and I'm once again ready to hunt down good news stories and share them with you!

Meantime, I thought I'd share all the big news in my life that's been keeping me busy:) Over the weekend, I got engaged to my boyfriend of seven years!!


We were in Ft. Lauderdale for a weekend vacation and he surprised me with a ring! It was such a beautiful night. I love him with all my heart and couldn't be happier right now!

The very same night he got down on his knee, we got word that my brother and sister-in-law had a beautiful baby girl!



Right when our flight from Ft. Lauderdale landed back in Chicago, we went to the hospital to meet Gwyneth Aurora (above). She's absolutely precious and is already sporting a FULL head of hair-- which is more than I can say for my brother;) We're so happy about the new addition to our family!

The other recent addition to our family is the happy baby below, Haylee Robyn!


My boyfriend's (Now FIANCEE-- still weird to say!) brother and his girlfriend had this cutie 3 months ago. She gets cuter everyday!!


I feel incredibly blessed to have so much great news to share! Now that my whirlwind of a week is winding down, I'm excited to start bringing you more good news from around the Chicago area!

Hope you're all having a fabulous week!!
