chicago.

last saturday i boarded a plane at 5am to 

c.h.i.c.a.g.o

the flight was early but so worth it

i was greeted at the airport

by this guy

we drove back to wisconsin

to watch some snappers baseball

while drew was at the field i met up with his family 

& watched a midwestern motorcycle rally.

 

we watched from outside the barricades until they played

sweet home alabama

we took it as our invitation to the party.

we danced the afternoon away in the street!

we clearly stuck out like sore thumbs.

our fun at the motorcycle rally unfortunately got cut short to ensure we made it in time to the baseball game

mister big time took time to pose with his biggest fans before the games.

sunday we celebrated fathers day

& even got to see Mitt Romney 

{he was staying at the leachman's hotel and speaking in wisconsin}

Monday Drew and I packed the car and headed to 

we rode every ride there 

including the first ever "loop" water slide

this is looking out above the ride 

you start in a glass tube, they count to 3 and the bottom drops out

& that is when the fun starts

the day was so much fun

we headed back to janesville to plan our chicago trip

& grill out with the team

tuesday we left for chicago

once there we rode the train into the city

we ate at 

{lou malnatis}

the best salad ever... not joking!

the infamous deep dish pizza

soo  so good!

we then ventured down the magnificent mile 

& to pier park

{view looking back on the city}

we then ventured to the ferris wheel

i won't bore you with our solo shots

& then hit up the architectural boat tour

 i high recommend the boat tour

we learned so much about different buildings

like the one that was insulated with horse hair..??

the fountain reaches across the river, drew thought it would be neat if it looked like

it was coming out of his mouth!

that night we ate famous chicago hot dogs.

wednesday

we saw the bean

& then hitched a cab to the sears tower

up 102 floors

holy cow this was so scary, this 4 inch glass box is holding us over all of chicago

so crazy!

we ate lunch at al's beef with a couple of drew's teammates that were also in chicago

it was great and seemed very local.

that night we grew a wild hair and decided to rent segways and watch a firework show

best part of the trip!

take me back to chicago!!!

tomorrowwww

i'm heading on a jet plane to 

via

beloit, wisconsin

to be exact

to watch some snapper baseball

and celebrate the big

2-4

birthday!!!

to say i am excited is an understatement.

first trip of the season, and my first time ever to wisconsin.

i will let yall know how it goes!

perspective

via

a tearjerker, for sure

love the part where it says ian is living with a primary purpose and that is all that matters.

weekending.

as you can tell it was great

we caught up, fished, ate, and sun bathed.

brittany and jay are two of my bestest friends

they were married last october and i had not seen them since

so i took myself on a little vacay down to pcb to hang out

it was wonderful.

their dog tucker filled the void of jack not being there.

we talked that jack and tucker would be best of friends.

happy tuesday yall!

brain dump

life has been crazy lately

well crazy fun

let me explain in pictures

i successfully planted my first plants, and 2 weeks in they are still alive

the back two tall pots are lavender and they smell amazing

lauren and i at the dave barnes concert @ workplay

anna and anna @ dave barnes

the infamous dave barnes - he put on such a great show, he is a great entertainer even if you don't enjoy his music!

braves vs. pirates game

honestly this was the most i watched of the game

i was with some of my best friends and we were having too much fun catching up

drew was promoted!!! he is now in wisconsin playing for the beloit snappers!

& because he was promoted that meant a change in my ticket

originally i was heading to fort myers for memorial day weekend

but it would not be as fun if drew wasn't going to be there

so now i am heading to beloit next weekend

great timing, we will get to spend my birthday together!

cute towel design @ my hotel for a work trip

a little photoshoot with aric & the king

you know with this new job i am learning more and more about NASCAR

never would have thought i would know what i know about the sport

behind the scenes of the photoshoot

such a fun experience!

crazy plant at my desk

baron's baseball game with my luckie girls

& last but not least, the food network came to work yesterday

it was so fun, they brought cupcakes, macaroons and other great treats for a really fun afternoon!

jack has been in auburn at "camp shaffer" 

aka hanging with his grandparents

i will be getting him this weekend!

hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
