Friday Favorites {No. 13} South Dakota!

LOTS of pictures today from my AMAZING trip to South Dakota!  Andrew and I drove out with my friend, Hannah, to stay with friends, Jake and Mikayla (and their new baby, Lydia!), for the week of Thanksgiving.  What a fun time!

beautiful spontaneity

Last week one of my dear friends spent an evening with my family.  It is so wonderful to just enjoy life with people you love...

Friday Favorites {No. 12} Living the Dream

This week's pictures hold memories that will be with me until the day I die.  On Wednesday I travelled with my Mom, two of my sisters (Jessica and Natalie), and a group of dear friends to see "Les Miserables" live at the Cadillac Palace Theatre in Chicago.

Yes, I believe in dreams coming true.

Baby, it's cold outside

The first snow has come and is almost gone.

My husband and I were staying with my younger siblings while my parents were on a weekend trip.  My youngest sister was snuggled up in bed with me when eight-year-old Samantha came into the bedroom to wake us up.

"There's snow outside, Rachel!"

Bekah's eyes flew open and I knew it was time to get up.

What a sweet yesterday... Natalie's Birthday!

I spent yesterday afternoon and evening with my amazing family (including my grandparents), celebrating my lovely sister's birthday.
