I Love Chicago



October 14th I had the opportunity to go to Chicago for a work meeting. I was so excited because I have never been to Chi town before. My friend Shelley has been there many times so knew all the great places to shop and eat. She gave me a very detailed list of how to get on the train at the airport, where to get off, all the addresses of places to go and what bus to catch and where. It was very helpful. The train thing was very intimidating I will admit. I rode it into the city, but when I left opted for the cab to the airport. $50 instead of $2 but it was worth it! I had an amazing time. The shopping was to die for! I spent way too much money but am already feeling like I need to go back soon! Friday night the 17th, meetings were over, nothing to do so I bought a ticket to Wicked. It was a little weird going by myself but it was so worth it. I had heard (from Shelley of course) how good it was....It was better than I could ever imagine. When it ended, I sat in my seat and cried. Overwhelmed with how amazing it was. I'm sure people around me thought I had issues! No one else was crying.....it is coming to Salt Lake in May and I will be there:)

I am jealous! My Mom and I were looking at Brittany's blog and discussing how "stylish" you always look. I bet you found some super cute stuff there! You are brave to travel around the city of Chicago by yourself. That sounds so fun though. I can't wait to see you guys. I told Logan I feel like a little kid again cause I feel Giddy everytime I think about you guys coming! I'm sooooo excited. Oh and I LOVE that picture of you and Val!!!!!!

Wow, if you would smirk instead of smile you would look just like Paris Hilton! I am proud of you for your solitary adventures around Chicago! No one knows as well as I do how much you needed a break!
