Karley soon-to-be Styles

This is a special dedication to Karley. I received her bridal shower invite in the mail the other day. We are so excited for her and Jon! About two months ago she asked if Jack and Zach could be ring bearers. Although we were delighted she asked and I want nothing more than to experience this joyous occassion with my boys, but after much thought and consideration, we opted to stay back home. We had it in our budget this year to try and get back home to Chicago to visit family and friends. Since the wedding is a destination wedding, her hometown of Oregon, this was an added cost when calculating 4 of us...airfare, hotel, you name it. That said I have something nice planned so she can still have this moment with the boys. In any event, I know how exciting it was to plan for such a great day.
Karley, thank you for being the best nanny to our boys. We are forever grateful to have you in our lives. You treat the boys so well and we never, NEVER, worry when we walk out the front door. You always try to think of so many wonderful things to do with the boys whether you are just going to the park, taking them to IHOP for lunch (all by yourself...:)), being creative with food...it doesn't matter; you always put more than 100% in each day. You take the time to teach the boys do's and don'ts and you love them like they are your own, and to a mom, means the world to me.

Congratulations to you and Jon. We cannot wait to continue sharing with you the joy and happiness!
