City Living

Our night out on the town was a complete success!  Meredith and Jed's place looks like it could be in a magazine it is so cute, I can only hope that I have some of that decorating sense in my blood too (doubtful.)  We went out to eat at a Costa Rican place that I could not pronounce no matter how hard I tried and it was absolutely delicious, even more so because I didn't pay for it (thanks guys) I mean talk about hospitality.  When our food came we talked about mature things like bills and trips to Europe so now I think I am officially ready to become an adult, almost that is.  I was the last one to finish eating (shocker) so Pat and I got our stuff wrapped up to go and ended up forgetting it on the table (I swear we are smarter than that scenario makes us seem..)  We took a mini tour around the city and ended up back at their place.  We were going to go see Bridesmaids but took a rain check (all part of the plan to see Meredith as many times as possible this summer!)  Instead we did facials which we desperately needed (I have a tool of my own if anyone wants to be my first victim) and went to sleep because we were pooped.  In the morning we went to mass at Old St. Pat's which is absolutely beautiful and we ended up knowing multiple people there.. such a small world we live in.  We drove back to Glenview with Pat and Wrigley and seeing Wrigley solidified the fact that my first dog (and any from there on out) will be a yellow lab.. it just doesn't get any cuter (or more American).  In case you haven't picked up by now, I have the most awesome cousins around.  They tell the funniest jokes, know the coolest spots, and are the most easy going people I know.  Lots of them to look up to (always a plus) but seriously I love hanging out with them and I would be willing to bet money that all of you would too.  Since so many of them are in the military it seems appropriate to mention that today is the anniversary of D-Day, (and Abby's birthday) so just remember that freedom isn't free.
