Chicago with Katie

Despite being cold in the morning, Katie and I decided that it was going to be a nice day and whether the weather agreed or not, we were putting on swimsuits and heading to the beach

Clearly its not that warm since I have on a hoodie!

We got to the beach, undressed and the weather was gorgeous!

Lake Michigan

After laying on the beach for about two hours, we walked to Devon Street - Little India

and devoured some delicious food!

Chi town bound

I was sitting at work and I felt a sudden need from a prolonged desire to see Katie. I sent her a text message saying "I don't miss you a little, I miss you a ton. How about I come to Chicago this weekend?" She responded "yeaaaahh" and so I booked a ticket.This morning I got home at 12:30am from a wedding. I threw some clothes into a suitcase, took a shower, slept for two hours and woke up at 3am to the airport.

6:25AM my flight took off and I was already asleep. Less than two hours later, I landed in Chicago beaming with excitement to see Katie. 

Janice and Charles' wedding

After I hectic day at work, I tried to pull myself away to get dressed for Janice and Charles' wedding. The plan - simple and easy to remember - Monique and I were supposed to meet at her house at the very latest by 4PM. At 4:30PM, she was in a cab rushing to her house and I was two blocks away. At this time, my hair is not done, I have not steamed my dress, haven't done my makeup - literally no preparations. At 4:45PM we finally meet and decide that we need to hop in a cab immediately. By this time, Mo had on her dress and did her makeup in the cab ride back to her house. I still had on my work clothes. Neither of us had the address to the ceremony on us so we are calling and texting to find out the info. We get a cab and when he asks for the destination, I advised him to go in the general direction of Harlem and we will provide him with an address later. Someone finally picks up their phone and gives us the address. I start changing in the cab and doing my make up! We arrive at 30 minutes late, minutes before the bride was going to walk in! I still haven't seen a mirror and my hair is not done but we ran inside the church and sat down.

Finally I see a mirror:

Not bad for a ten minute get up lol

At the reception 

Congrats Jan and Charles! 

Hanging with Mo

Mo and I met up in Union Square. We knew we wanted yogurt but Mo wanted to check out some of the food trucks.

We ordered some delicious yogurt, walked around Union Square and then went to a Mediterranean restaurant, Nanoosh for some delicious food.

PS Happy Birthday Alicia
