pictures to come soon i hope!

it was cold but no snow : (

our flight up was awful! they made us wait for over an hour ON THE PLANE to see if the rocks that hit the engine on the last flight hurt it! then finally they said we were gonna change planes but we werent leaving til 8!3 hours waiting for flight. booo. but we got there safe at least : )

wednesday thru sunday was our sports convention thingy outside of chicago, good times with great people! went out to Rush Street at night, partied hard, and i danced...scary. then sunday me and james headed downtown thru wednesday. got a lot done, saw many things : )

got to the hancock building and went to the signature room for drinks and a great view 1000 feet up. tried to go to hard rock for a late dinner but turns out 5 schools from ohio had rented out the entire place. long story, but got free shots : )

went to shedd aquarium and saw tons of neato fish and stuff and a great view of the skyline.but my camera battery had died i discovered, and so no slr pictures from me for this whole day :, ( very very sad. walked thru grant park and saw buckingham fountain but its turned off for the season, walked thru millenium park and got pictures of the "bean", a big silver thingy that reflects the skyline. very cool. went shopping on michigan ave, got a coach bag, change purse, and key chain. woohoo! very perty. went to the very big apple store, saw some speakers i really want ( hint hint for christmas : P) and just walked around having a good time. then got to Harry Careys late for dinner. awesome food! good company ; )

Next day went to take pictures on the lakefront and hurried over to the Chicago Institute of Art and saw some of the greats. American Gothic in person is pretty darn cool. Rushed out of there to get to the airport, almost missed the flight after being there like 2 hours early cause they changed the gate and failed to mention that... oh well. and came home.

Had a good Thanksgiving and a great 11 days off....now i have to go back to work tomorrow! ack!
