Anyway, since I am officially on the schedule now at work we decided to head over to Chicago while I still had an entire Saturday off this past weekend. We got up on Saturday morning and started driving and after realizing after 125 miles we missed the exit to take us there, we finally got to our destination. One of my college roommates (Christie) and her husband live in a suburb and took us on a tour of the city. I love it! It is such a cool city-I love all the old buildings and the skyline. Lake Michigan looks like an ocean-I am really excited to go there lots in the future. We were able to walk up and down Michigan Avenue and stop in some shops (H&M I love). Because Matt and Christie know I love baseball so much they drove me past Wrigley Field and U.S. Cellular stadium. Wrigley Field is so cool and I can't wait to go to some games! Then we went and had Chicago deep dish pizza and it was the best pizza I think I have ever had. Pretty much is was a really fun weekend. It was also great to see someone we know......and have known for awhile-like seeing family. Here are few pics from the trip. I realize none of them have Jason and I in them, that is a bad habit of ours. We take lots of pics of things but never any of us.
Everything is great-today it was like 65 degrees....it was raining all day but the grass is turning green and spring finally looks like it is here! Wahoo!!!

Looks so cool! I wanna go back. I promised JEff someday we'll come and go to a Cubs game.
Da Bears, da bears, da bears, da bears. Sorry, just thought like saying that. Looks like you guys had fun! And lucky you to have a whole Saturday off!! So how are you liking your new job?
I can't believe that you got some good shots from the car!! In my head I was teasing you for never wanting to get out and take photos but you have a knack for capturing a moment from a moving vehicle. :) Can't wait to see you next time!

I love Chicago! Sean and I lived in a suburb called Schaumburg one summer. Where did you go for your deep dish pizza? If you haven't tried Lou Malnatis, it is an absolute MUST! I still dream about it!
oh, i never answered you question. my camera. it's a canon digital rebel xti. i love it. i swear it's my third child.
happy spring!
can i just tell you how jealous i am that you guys spent the weekend together?! i wish i could have joined the fun. is christie getting a little baby belly now? i wish she'd send a pic. my belly is now huge and ridiculous looking thus the reason there are going to be no more pics of me until after brig. guess what? my sealing cx came through and we are getting sealed april 12th in IF. i'm so excited even though it feels a bit like a shot gun wedding. when are you coming here again?
How fun to be close enough to go do things like that! Next time you'll have to hang out at the pier because they have tons of shops there and the giant ferris wheel...well they did like 10 years ago when I went!!

Did you know there is a Cheesecake Factory at the bottom of the John Hancock building?
This is not your mom, it's Aunt Karyn.
