Return of Saturn

I spent a few days in Chicago, my second home, this last weekend.  What a trip!  Seriously, it was pretty surreal.  It seems like a lifetime ago or a whole other life that was home.  It made me realize how much I've changed- although, I did get reminded that I haven't changed too much as I walked around Anthropologie, just didn't bring out my wallet.  It was confirmation that I'm not supposed to live there, but I'm thankful that I had the chance to live there.  Chicago is where I "grew up" and basically became an adult.  I'm glad I had my big city experience and know that I can do it!

Through some crazy times, I had some great chats with friends out there!  It was good to talk with people who have known me longer than a year and are at a similar stage in life (AKA didn't just graduate college or retire!).  

Of course, the real reason I went out there was to celebrate the wedding of probably 2 of the nicest people: Stephanie Thies and Brian Geier!  Oh, it was lovely.  I'm so glad I was able to join in the fun!  Here are some highlights...

Here are 2 pictures that sum up three of my favorite things in Chicago:  Friends, brunch, and crazy nights out!  Good times were most definitely had!

Please note: this is a joke, I found this bottle on the floor and
thought it would be funny to use in a picture... I was right!
