Chi Town, Fireworks and a New House


















Hi guys...sorry its been so long. I try and save these blog post for actual events, luckily I have a few now. I have been working some hours at the salon, not sure if it's a good fit for me. On a lighter note though we have started working on our new residence and finally it looks like it is coming together. The owners of the house have not moved out from the first floor, so there is no telling how much work we will have to do to it, but the second floor was a nightmare. Fortunately we managed to get half off of the first months rent if we did the work ourselves, which is nice because we can basically do whatever we want. So, these photos are of Barringtons' Fourth of July parade and fireworks show, and of our new place. I hope this will tempt most of you into coming here for a visit.

  2. Amber! These pics look like a Norman Rockwell painting and makes me yearn to be there. It looks so serene and wholesome. The house is the most incredible place and I really can see the history unfolding in the house pictures. Just very good vibes coming from all of it and if I were 30 years younger, that house would have been my dream house. The pics of the kids are so darling and makes me wish to be there with them and you and, well, maybe I will be able to come there soon. I love you all and keep on posting!
