Lake Evergreen | Our Special Fishing Spot
Here is our fishing trip to Evergreen Lake. Evergreen Lake is our go to fishing spot and has so many memories for us. Greg took me fishing at this lake for the first time shortly after we met, and I caught my first fish here! I remember the day perfectly; it was early April, and a little chilly so he gave me his sweatshirt to wear. We sat on the bank, and he put a worm on my hook, and I was SOO EXCITED when my bobber went down, and I got to real in my first fish! I have been hooked ever since!

Here is my makeup look that I did for Valentine’s Day. I think this is a great look for anytime, though. I wanted a brighter eyeshadow because I was wearing a light pink dress and sometimes you just need a pop of color!… Read More »

All Aboard!
Oh, adventure! It is just one of our absolute favorite things in life! Last Sunday, Greg and I slept in a little bit, went to breakfast, and were just chatting about how we were going to spend our day. We wanted an adventure, but it was kind of chilly, and we only had 24 hours. Then, Greg was like let’s go to Chicago and take the train!
It was the perfect idea because then we could relax on the train and just enjoy each other’s company. Plus, it’s different than driving! I looked up train times, we ate our breakfast quickly, packed our backpack, and rushed to the station. It was so fun looking out the train window and having a snack together. I liked that the view was so different. We even got to see a rock quarry! We arrived at Union Station around 2, and the fresh city air felt amazing when we hit Canal Street. We went on a little walk and decided to go to Nordstrom Rack and do a little shopping. Greg knows how much I LOVE Hunter Boots and found the cutest pair of black ones for me. I changed out of my other ones and shoved them in the backpack so that I could wear them right away!
We ended our night in Chicago by having dinner with my sweet parents. They met us at Southern Cut Barbecue, and it was such a cozy, yummy dinner. I think that barbecue is good for the soul, especially when you share it with those you love! We even had banana creme pie with four spoons!
Our train ride home I just laid my sleepy head on Greg’s shoulder, and we blinked and then we were home!
