This was one year ago. We wrote thank you notes instead of throwing shade and they prepped me before one of my humorous adventures in online dating. Oh how funny life can be. #TBT #GGC #HappyAnniversary ❤️

My MOH's! 🤗 Two super women that impact my life in every aspect. With over 8 years and 10 years of friendship they've seen me at my best, worst, and everything in between. So grateful for them and their support through thick and thin. ❤️ I can't believe I'm getting married! #HereComeTheKuebers #MOH #bacheloretting

Waking up to a pancake is lovely. Having it brought by your fiancé on the last Sunday of your single life is lovelier. I'll take as a sign of the future. #SweetLife #HereComeTheKuebers #LaDolceVita

Eeeek! I'm so excited! @tonyayorkdees just reminded me that this my last Thanksgiving as Ms. Portaro!! Ironically I wore this on our walk today. I'm already in the "Mrs." mentality! Yay, life! #HereComeTheKuebers #Mrs #MrAndMrsKueber

Perfect ending to Thanksgiving. Olmsted was brilliant. I'm in complete awe of the enchantment of Cherokee Park even though I see it daily, it's always new. "The chief end of a large park is an effect on the human organism...like that of music...a kind that goes back of thought, and cannot be fully given the form of words." - Frederick Law Olmsted (at Cherokee Park Scenic Loop)

❤️ It is not happy people that are thankful, it's thankful people that are happy. ❤️ When I count my blessings, I count you twice, Keebs. ❤️ 9 days! #HappyThanksgiving #HereComeTheKuebers #Thankful (at Henry Clay)
