I hope your last thought gets to be, "Holy Crap, That's Awesome."

Last week I went to Chicago and got to see some of my favorite people in the world. I am the luckiest gal ever.

Starting with an awesome night Chicago welcomed me with open arms.

Jimmy and I then went on the Wrigley field tour, which pretty much kicked ass. (pictures soon)

I got to go shopping with my mom and got a beautiful dress for my shower. The shower was held on Saturday and I felt spoiled and wonderful and loved. Nancy (MFMIL) put on a seriously beautiful day for us. My future-Aunt-Kathy made an unbelievably awesome cake and everyone looked wonderful and happy and sunshiney...

Although I reallly enjoyed the party, I was kind of sad that none of my friends came. Even so, the party was very nice, elegant and sophisticated and at the same time I really wished that someone, any of them, could have come... sadly Nancy even had a bunch of place settings with cute name cards for all of them.


Jimmy's family and I get along very well- and they day was a huge success! I really enjoyed myself. I'm a very lucky girl. I couldnt be happier to get along with my mother in law so well, her sisters, my new aunts, my new cousins. It's a strange thing to be a part of a whole new family.

To suddenly have to understand the delicate and not-so delicate reltionships of people I've only know for a couple years is tough and fun and feels like an adventure. I dont know... it's fun. It's hard to explain or find the right words for.

The whole trip was just terrific.

I'm so glad that I got a chance to see you after so long, even though it was only for a brief meeting. :)

Be very glad that your in-laws like you. Mine are difficult people to get along with--nothing like my husband. Sometimes we joke that our life together would be easier if we were orphans... which isn't funny, but sometimes it's so true.
