Congratulations Ben and Colleen!

I love weddings. With my posse up in Chicago it's not only a joy to celebrate new stages in life, but it's also a fantastic opportunity to catch up with friends. I LOVE WEDDINGS! David and I had a little night out, thanks to Grandma Cuesta who is visiting this week. She watched Ethan while we were dining and dancing the night away. My only regret is that we had to leave! Here is the beautiful bride with her posh posse, heh heh heh.

In between the ceremony and reception we went to the local Starbucks for a treat. Gorgeous weather allowed us to lounge outside. What a funny site to see such a dressed up crowd all having coffee outside. It was great to sit and chat and hear about everything that was going on in our friends' lives since we last met. Here are Emily and Amanda. Amanda is 6 months pregnant!



The guys seemed to keep to themselves as the ladies went on and on :)

Here is a picture of Heather and me. As my husband was taking the picture, I said, "wait, this is not a good angle fo r me!" And she says, "oh well, too bad!" She made me laugh so hard as the picture was snapped :)


This was also my opportunity to finally meet my friends' new arrival, their first baby, Lauren. Liz and Jace were VERY brave new parents bringing out their 3 week old to the wedding. But they had some good help with their grandma who watched her throughout the evening.
