Hey blog world! Sorry I've been so M.I.A.! As a mentioned in my last post, life has been kind of busy!
As Brady wrote about in her post, our trip to Florida was AWESOME. I wasn't nearly as active as she was- mostly because I had just finished a bout with the flu then was hit with allergies once I got to Siesta Key. I spent most of my time sleeping and laying on the beach.
Let me just reiterate that my grandparents are the best hosts EVER. Seriously- I love spending time with they anywhere, but they know how to live the good life in Florida. We never went without great snacks, glasses of wine, or awesome conversation. Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa for an AWESOME trip- I wish I was still there with you!
I had a pretty nutty few days getting back in the groove here but got to escape it all with a trip to LaPorte to see my parents (and my dog who they are graciously watching for another week as I head out on another work trip to Houston). My parents also know how to have a good time- my mom and I got take out from Mucho Mas (a great little Mexican place in LaPorte) and watched 'The Hangover', my dad and I stayed up until 2 am talking and drinking wine, and on Saturday my mom made us some amazing garlic (fake) cheeseburgers before I had to head back to the city.
I rounded out my weekend with coffee with a coworker at my favorite Chicago coffee shop, an easy 6 miles at the gym, and a fun date with a new guy I've gone out with a few times.
After a quick trip in to the office this morning I was driving home via Wacker and Lake Shore drive and realized how much I love my life. Moving to Chicago was one of the best decisions I've ever made- I absolutely love this city but I love living so close to the people I care about even more. I have amazing friends here, I love my job, I get to see my family all the time... I just don't think it gets any better than this!
Have a great week, everyone. :)
