25 Years today (11 more minutes) Dave and I were married at the Congressional Church down the street from where I grew up in Western Springs. Then we celebrated at our reception at the McDonalds campus/Hyatt hotel in Oakbrook. Tonight he surprised me with dinner there (1st time back!) and decorated our table in advance with photos from the wedding and flowers. We remembered the night as best we could trying to recall exactly what was on the menu, definitely remembering our idea to supply a basket of ci******es on the balcony and our friends Ali and Vince riding (stolen??) paddle boats on the water there and not coming back for a suspiciously long time. Great night with so many friends and family. Thanks to everyone that’s contributed to our great lives so far. Including our 3 boys who we love so SO much.
