Father's Day & summer finally starting on Suday, what is everyone up to?
Friday: Dinner & movie with DH.
Saturday: Drive up to Milwaukee to celebrate Father's Day with my dad.
Sunday: Drive to Crystal Lake from Milwaukee for Father's Day breakfast with DH's dad. Then run errands, do laundy, and hopefully take the dog to the beach!
Re: Weekend Plans?
Glad to see a new post on here!
Friday - having 3 friends over for dinner. Steaks, wild rice, and asparagus are on the menu so far.
Saturday - errands with DH, then babysitting at 6.
Sunday - DH is working, then we'll probably have dinner with my ILs.

Cake balls & Oprah flights? I'm in!
I was surprised to see how dead this board is! The knot Chicago board is so busy, I would of thought this board would be. I'll be posting a ton. My month board is just making the move over here in July and I'll still "feeling" out the other boards.
Are there GTG's on here? If not, I'm all up for planning one in the city! We tried to do one on the knot but it only panned out in the burbs once.
Unfortunately, I doubt they'll be any leftovers since it's probably a bunch of teenage boys. And I don't know if Oprah is actually going to be there. I think she's just flying her staff and their families. But who knows?

Last night, we just relaxed and DH packed for his guys' weekend with my dad and brother this week.
Today, I went to the gym, started a blog, am finishing our honeymoon scrapbook, and then will go to a festival in Elk Grove with my mom and my best friend, who is in town from Texas.
Tomorrow, my mom is coming by to help me plant some flowers and work on the house a bit, and then we're going out to dinner.
Then, I took off Monday, so we are heading downtown to meet up with my cousins and aunts. We'll go to lunch, shop and take a Wrigley Field tour.
(Please note: I normally do not spend this much time with my mom!)
