He holds the key.

My name is Jolie. I have always lived in Chicagoland. I am a Kindergarten teacher. I am a Virgo. I love my family and friends. I will be very loyal to you, unless of course you cross me, and then you will be dead to me. :) My grandmother is my favorite person, because we understand each other best. My favorite band has always been Alkaline Trio, and my favorite movie changes with my mood. I love both laughing and crying. My favorite time of year is the month of October, which culminates in the best holiday ever, Halloween. I think the best pizza is from Lou Malnati's. I have a really good memory, and my memories are some of my most prized possessions. I'm what you'd call girly because I love getting pedicures and massages, and I get my hair colored every 4 weeks. Currently, I am mostly Pescetarian, and sometimes not. But none of this defines me, because I am just me, and I'm always changing and growing.

I’ll Always be a Traditional Girl

My grandparents, Bumby and Papa, started taking me to the St. Charles Scarecrow Festival when I was just a little girl.  I have fond memories of walking the path and stopping to look at each unique scarecrow.  Bumby would take my picture with each of my favorites.  Then we would walk across the bridge to the Craft Fair on the East side, and browse the tents.  I loved the brisk air, and enjoyed wearing a jacket for one of the first times of the season!

I have more special memories of the Fox River with Bumby and Papa.  We would put our bikes on the back of the navy blue Toyota Camry, and head West on North Avenue out to St. Charles.  We would ride out bikes along the river’s windy path, and have a great time.  Perhaps on the way home, we would stop at Edwardo’s on Rt. 83 for a thin crust pizza with whole wheat crust and spinach, and of course an IBC Rootbeer.

Now that I’m an adult, I just can’t give up those traditions.  I wait all year for our fun family activities.  Sometimes, its just Matt and I, and that’s okay.  I love sharing them with him.
