Ahhhhhh, what an A-MAZING weekend! It felt SO good to be back in Chi-town, and it felt even better to be back with my amazing lovies! Our weekend consisted of everything girly you can possibly imagine. It was such a sweet reminder of the blessings God has given me in the friendships I had in Chicago, and the biggest blessing ever that I am still connected with them. I wouldn’t trade where I am now for ANYTHING (has something to do with that phenomenal hunk of a husband I have), but it is still so fun to revisit places of the past and cherish the memories, new and old. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I’ll let the photos do MOST of the talking!
I used to give Michelle (Miche) a manicure every Thursday night while we watched Grey’s – it was our little tradition. Even the tiniest details such as being able to give her a french manicure like old times was so fun and precious. Misssssed this girl!
In a cab w/Somer & Miche on the way to the House of Blues for an A-MAZING Gospel Brunch!
We had our own suite RIGHT above all of the action. It was so much fun! They do this every Sunday and Miche has always wanted to go – it was too perfect that we were able to do it together. The food was DELISH and the gospel music was INCREDIBLE. Loveee the Chicago House of Blues.
Somer is on the left and Miche is on the right – two friends of mine from two different stages of my life – college and post college. Too funny, they met at my wedding! And now Somer lives in Chicago and these two are precious friends. So happy I was the link that connected them!
The whole gang! Such incredible ladies.
Taking advantage of the CTA while hitting up Michigan Ave for some MAJOR shopping!
Wow. It was a weekend I will never forget. God really used my mini-vacay to open my eyes and remind me how truly blessed I am with the friends, family and husband I have been given. These ladies are so precious to me and while it was sad to leave them last night, I was SO ecstatic to make it home to my sweet Hubby. I am reminded that it truly is about being in the present, no matter where I am, and relishing in the joys and sweet blessings God has given me. He is SO good. :o)
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Can you believe it’s already Wednesday?! We are optomistic that my sweet Father-In-Love will be coming home from the hospital THIS week! PTL! I’ll keep you posted.
Happy Wednesdsay.
Blessings/XOXO
