Illinois 2013: Four Pictures
by Scott Hardie on January 31, 2014

As a follow-up to my Illinois road trip, here are photos taken at our engagement party. Shown are Kelly and me, Matthew Preston with his wife Liz, and Jackie Mason with her husband Will. I wish that our photographer Lori Lancaster was in one of the shots, but I'm grateful to her for taking the pictures all the same. Thanks Lori!



The fourth image depicts a card-matching game that we came up with. It was fun and we'll probably do it again at the wedding in March.

Six weeks until the wedding, huh? I guess we'd better get started.
