Mary and Drew had a very simple, lovely wedding that started with a Catholic mass and finished with a lunch at the Wrigley Mansion. It was nice having a day wedding for a change. The part of the mansion that they had their afternoon lunch in was surrounded by windows with a beautiful view. It was such a nice wedding and I’m glad I got to shoot it with One Fine Day!
Ok so if you know me, you know I’m not the best cook in the world. It’s not that the food I do make is bad, it’s just that I never actually cook! I was excited to make an apple pie through because I definitely love me some pie. It was a fun experience for Ryan and me and I get to cross something off of my 101 in 1001 list!
Here are some photos of the pie. It wasn’t as gooey on the inside as I would have liked, but it was still delicious!
We soaked the apples in a combination of cinnamon, brown sugar, white sugar, flour, and a hint of vanilla.
Ok the edges didn’t turn out perfectly…but my stomach sure didn’t mind!

Oh wow that looks sooo good! Even better that it’s not perfect :) :) Love it!July 25, 2010 – 7:06 am
First of all, yay for getting to cross one more thing off of your list.
Secondly, the pie looks SO. GOOD!
Thirdly, your pics of just a typical dessert in someone’s eyes, make it even more outstanding!
Last but not least……YUM!

p.s……my guess is that it won’t be the last apple pie you ever make! :)July 26, 2010 – 11:47 am
I’ve always been a goal maker. When I was fourteen, I made a list of 100 things I wanted to do in my life and I’ve been working towards those things I wanted whenever I’ve gotten a chance. A lot of the dreams/wants/goals on that list won’t be complete for years or decades so I decided to make a second list with a shorter time frame.
This second list is about 101 goals and dreams I want to do to expand my business, my experiences, and just to enrich my life. I have 1001 days to complete it and since I finished making the list on July 16th, 2010, I have until April 12, 2013. No matter how many I actually complete by that day doesn’t matter to me as much as the fact that I’ll be doing things that I want to do and that make me happy. I believe written goals are way better than ones that never get written and worked towards. I hope that this list helps bring me more success and happiness in my life! (and helps me get over some fears too)
So here is my list. I’ll try to keep it updated and possibly blog about some of the items once I complete them. (I started making the list about 2 weeks ago and have already completed 3 things!)

I think this is a great list. I tried to make one of these ones and then I gave up.. lol.. I think making the list is definitely one of the hard things to do! I am sure you will do great in your accomplishments.July 18, 2010 – 11:50 am
Oh, Ally, you always warm my heart. #50 – I might be able to help you with. Grandma thinks my childhood ice cream maker is around “someplace.” You & Ry would love it. You spend forever (as opposed to Cold Stone) making it. Pack it with Rock Salt. Crank, crank, crank (Ry’s part = big muscles). And, oh, the ice cream is always worth the wait =) I might have to make my own list. Not sure where to start, but I guess Julie Andrews is right: “Let’s start at the very beginning…”July 18, 2010 – 1:55 pm
I could definatly help you with 1 and 6. I am sure Rachael would help you with 28, and 90 has been at the top of my list for a bit now. Good luck with you bucket list….lol!July 25, 2010 – 10:16 am
Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. Months and sometimes years of planning go into this one special day so you want to remember it, right? That’s where the Platinum flushmount album comes in. Having a beautiful wedding album that helps you remember your day is incredibly important. It is a tangible way to relive the happiness and excitement of your wedding day!
Every one of my wedding commissions includes some kind of flushmount album because I believe every couple deserves one! Below are some photos of a sample flushmount album I have:
Each album features a beautiful leather cover that’s available in a variety of colors.
The album features lay-flat binding without a gutter so the photos can go right over the crease without interruption!
Each page is thick, sturdy and high-quality so it will last for decades!
