Dearest family: please accept my profound apologies for having procrastinated this blog post by approximately a year. I haven’t forgotten about our traveling shirt pact or our wonderful family… our picture is by my bed in that family frame you all gave me. I cherish our wonderful memories!
The last year or so has been so eventful! My original intention for my shirt-activity was the Detroit Turkey Trot last Thanksgiving—which I have now done twice since—so I have included the pictures from that. However, JVC (as Joe knows…) can be rather time-consuming and I somehow managed not to send it along then. In the ensuing months, I have finished volunteering and living with JVC, dated Rick for over a year, and moved back to
All that aside, by far the most exciting family event was of course CLARE’S BEAUTIFUL WEDDING!!! Despite missing Joe, we all managed to have a wonderful time and Clare looked stunning all night. Chris is a welcome addition to the Sweeney and the CTK families! I’m sure he will give her a lifetime of happiness… which is good, because if he doesn’t, Brian, Joe, and I would fly down south and beat him up. Just kidding! Sort of.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get a lot of good pictures from the reception (see below), but the professional wedding photos are gorgeous. I was a bit of a slacker with the actual shirt, but the year has provided many fun and impactful memories that I will chronicle in photos despite the absence of our soon-to-be well-traveled Superfan shirt. Sorry!
I love and miss you all, and can’t wait to read the next installment! We should plan a reunion for the coming year…
HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!
