Inner Freedom

Not to use a cliche, but truly, "love sets you free". We hit a milestone past weekend as I finally got Chuck to pose silly for a picture. :)

  

This is not something he does. This is something he used to abhor! But for the first time, he didn't even question me when I said, "do this" - as I made a pose mimicking the Captain on the Helm sculpture. I was ecstatic! Some may wonder why I'm making such a big deal out of this, but this picture tells me that we have reached a point where both of us are completely free with each other and can express our [what I like to call] 'inner freedom' even in the public eye.

  

  

Oh, how I LO~ve this picture!
Of course, I love the normal ones, like the one below, too.

  

  

These pictures were taken on the day after Independence Day. We had a wonderful weekend dining with friends on Friday and Saturday; and on Sunday, had a Chicago date day for just the two of us - we walked Navy Pier, went and saw a movie (Proposal - a fact that the movie describes a Canadian-American nuptial was not lost on us), walked Michigan Avenue, and had dinner around Rush Street. It was a fun day! It was a perfect weekend!
