After nine long years, I made a trip back to Illinois. I graduated from high school in Il. back in '99 after living there for a total of 5 years combined (6th & 7th grade, and again in 10th-12th grade). Some of you might know that Il. was not my favorite place. Living there was just not for me.....too big, too cold and too un-Southern! But I had a great reason to go back. I made the trip to see my best and longtime friend Jessica Abbott. She has been to visit us each and every year since high school graduation. What a trooper! Now that I have successfully overcome my fear of flying and had some free time, I just had to head up North for a visit. It was the first of what will be an annual trip to the big city!
Thank you Jessica for a wonderful time this past weekend. It was awesome! We always have such a great time together no matter what we are doing. I am lucky to have you in my life and even luckier that you are James' godmother!
My time staying in Jessica's new Chicago loft was very cool! I had a wonderful time seeing the sights, visiting my old neighborhood and most of all just catching up with Jessica and her husband Chris. We are planning our next visit already so our hubby's have a chance to meet. Next summer's agenda hopefully will include a cruise together with this fun couple. The only thing that would have made my trip to the Windy City better was having Daniel and James along.....I sure was lonesome for the two special men in my life! Chicago was fun, but I am glad to be home, sweet home.
