Windy City Weekend

I spent a fun-filled weekend in Chicago, as a guest for my dear law school friend Anika's bridal shower. Her bridesmaids threw a tea party at the Drake Hotel--quite the experience! Thank you for including me!

All the girls, enjoying flavored teas, tea sandwiches, and scones:

With the beautiful bride:

Vanessa kindly allowed me to be her houseguest for the weekend, and I had such a good time catching up with her and her husband, Erik.

Vanessa gave Anika the cutest cow creamer--the milk comes out the cow's nose!





Law school friends!

While in Chicago, I also got to see Lauren and Collin. We met for lunch at a true Chicago deep dish pizza place.

They were so sweet to make time to see me on their 5th wedding anniversary! Congratulations, Hansens!



I had such a great time, but really missed Jacob. I was looking forward to getting home to see him, and he made my return even brighter--he had cleaned the entire apartment and done all the laundry! I sure am a lucky girl!
