Catching Up

So, I've been a bit of a slacker when it comes to updating this blog, but in my defense, it has been crazy around here! (This was actually my horoscope I read while getting a pedicure on Saturday, quite ironic)

Last Thursday Neil and I moved in together to a place in the South Loop. I'm really excited about the place and can't wait to actually get everything set up (because I am continuing to have panic attacks until everything is unpacked and set up).

My sister Megan was in town during out move-in weekend. We went to G.T. Fish and Oyster on Friday (aammmmaaaazzzzinnggg) and then Saturday, Megan came over to help us set up the apartment and all the new furniture we bought. She was a huge help since I can't read instructions and was about to throw the new table out the window. While we put together the furniture, Neil assembled the grill. Very productive day.

Sunday we were able to get lunch together before I had to catch a flight to leave for Atlanta for the week. With this new job I am going to be traveling a lot more and we typically stay for the week when we are out of town, which I am excited for, but the timing was not the best for this trip! I wanted to spend the week at home, unpacking and exploring the new neighborhood, but the trip was a good experience and is helping me rack up the reward points :)

Friday I came home to Neil cooking dinner on the grill. We ate outside and enjoyed our new view!

Saturday I went shopping in the morning (to prepare for the upcoming weddings), got my hair cut (about 6 inches off!) and ended the day by celebrating my good friend Krista's last week as a single lady at her bachelorette party! We went to Sable for dinner (which was awesome) and then out to Lizzie McNeill's for drinks. Krista, ever the responsible one, sipped spritzers throughout the night in preparation for her big day. It was so much fun to be with everyone and celebrate Krista's upcoming nuptials.

Sunday, after finally sleeping in a bit and a massive brunch, we went to Glenview for Krista's shower at her aunt's BEAUTIFUL house. I'm so excited for Krista and Joe. I've never seen Krista so happy and can't wait for next Friday!!!

This week we moved into a new office for work, so I will be testing out new routes to the office while continuing to unpack and settle into the new place!
