Love on the prairie trail





"Love is in the air."




The prairie trail is a place where I go to clear my head. A place where Rob goes to exercise. A place where people roller blade, ride bikes, run, jog, walk..and for me "fall in love". As cheesy as this may sound it's true. The prairie trail is the place where I first realized I was in love with Rob. It was actually on my 26th birthday that him and I decided to go for a walk on the path. I knew I was already falling for him pretty hard but that day is when I came to the conclusion that "Hey, I love this guy!". :) When I first moved to Illinois in January of 2010, I was heartbroken. After splitting up with my boyfriend of three years, I came here not expecting to find love so soon. I had it set in my mind that all guys were jerks. But Rob proved me wrong.





The prairie trail is a 26 mile paved path that goes from the city I live in all the way to the Wisconsin state border. Surrounded by trees, plants and creeks..it's definitely a serene, peaceful place to take a walk.




Here are some photos we've taken of the prairie trail (a few I took during Spring and a few were during Winter when the trees were naked):
















Thanks baby for showing me another AMAZING place.
