A mom to Gabe (3) and Elaina (6 months) A wife to Mike, who I married about a year after meeting (online) – when you know, you know! An avid Notre Dame fan A Barnes & Thornburg lifer. I started as a summer associate and have worked in three offices, and truly love them all. A horseback rider and competitor A firm believer that “love is love” Extremely close to my (large and loud) family Excited to attend any sporting event A devoted friend. I had 12 bridesmaids who are all still my best friends, and I would have a few more to add if I were getting married today! Happiest when I am with my kids (and on a beach, if we are getting specific)

Alida Baldazo Chicago
Half Dutch and half Mexican, and I always thought that was a unique combo Named after my Dutch great-great-aunt; nobody pronounces my name correctly, but I’m never offended by it Occasionally a stand-in for my husband’s social media projects at work and was on a billboard once An animal lover and self-proclaimed “cat lady”. I also have the sweetest pit bull ever. A major control freak and have to remind myself to “let it go” frequently All about camping, fishing and hiking and I go on annual kayak trips at Turkey Run Married to someone four inches shorter than me – without heels on A band geek at heart; I played clarinet for seven years, piano for a couple and now handbells in my church choir An avid concert-goer – I go to about 20 concerts a year A person with MAJOR anxiety. Agreeing to be featured here made me dizzy and my throat close up.

Someone who was born and raised in the Visayas islands of the Philippines, and a sun worshipper and a mermaid at heart The (favorite) granddaughter of a wartime nurse who raised eight children and put my grandpa through law school A Barnes & Noble squatter. I haunt it like a literary ghost, browsing for hours and leaving with an armful of books; my fave is The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. An epicure – from savoring oysters in France or tapas in Spain to enjoying street food in Thailand, count me in A pet parent to a 21-pound ragamuffin cat, Rabbit, who shared an unlikely friendship with a chinchilla A Whovian, K-drama consumer, true crime junkie, and cartoon aficionado when I channel surf A bargain hunter Risk averse…except when I completed a half-marathon on a bet despite never having been a runner before Someone who chased the aurora borealis in Iceland for almost a week Still very close friends with my grade school and high school classmates. Every year, we jet off to new countries, turning our friendship into a global adventure.
