You guys, I have been literally dreaming, planning, drooling over this idea for over a year!
OVER A YEAR
I’m not even kidding! December of 2017 we were in Iowa for the oldest to graduate from Iowa State, which for the record she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Agronomy a semester early, but I digress.
Chris and I stayed a few extra days to visit some friends in Iowa. On our way we stopped one morning for lunch at a cute restaurant in Pella. I can’t pass up sweets and love desserts, so when I read those 4 words on the chalkboard menu, there was no doubt I was getting some!
I couldn’t even wait while photographing……….
