This past weekend was our last “off” weekend before weddings start FULL swing this coming Friday! Our busiest months this year are (the end of) May, June, and July, so I hope you are gearing up for lots of weddings coming soon on the blog ; )

I couldn’t imagine a BETTER last weekend of our off season — truly. Caleb’s youngest sister, Tori, graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with her Masters in Social Work and we spent the whole weekend hosting family at our home : )

Perfection.

We celebrated, went to several local breweries, played lots of board games, took Vivian for many walks (the weather was AMAZING this past weekend!), ate Chipotle, watched Steve hood Tori with her Masters robe, celebrated Mother’s Day, introduced Caleb’s family to the BEST cheese curds in the entire word (Craftsman Table & Tap, I’m looking at you!), sat outside, played bag toss, chatted … it was truly such a LIFE-GIVING weekend and I am so, so thankful for it : )

To Tori — CONGRATULATIONS, sis : ) We are SO proud of you and truly so inspired by your passion for change and betterment in this world. Looking at the world as a WHOLE can be so overwhelming at times, but your belief that one person can, in fact, significantly impact the lives of those around them for the better is BEYOND beautiful. Because it’s TRUE and we believe in you BIG time, girl : )

Thank you for reminding us there is always more to learn and understand. Thanks for your vigor. Thanks for your LOVE : ) The fact that several of your friends FLEW IN from all across the country to surprise you for graduation speaks VOLUMES about the woman that you are. We are sad to see you leave Madison but goodness, Minneapolis is so lucky to have you! We love you!!!
