Well, vacation in Chicago is treating us very well so far. Yes I’m spending money like there’s no tomorrow, but we’re having a lot of fun! In my last post, Michelle gave us wishes for a great vacation and I need to thank her right here. I’m sorry that we couldn’t see her and Rob and the cousins, too… but you can’t have everything. We’re just happy to see what family we can (like Marie!) and our friends are certainly making us feel at home again.
I feel like an ass… I found out that the email-on-phone-to-blog-entry idea worked perfectly, evidenced by the last post, then Sunday I didn’t think to mention that it was Christine’s birthday! Of course we celebrated that evening with her and Marie by going out to Leona’s Italian restaurant. I got to embarrass my honey by having the staff do a birthday shout-out, complete with tiramisu dessert! At least I can mention it here, as long as we found an internet cafe here in Geneva, IL. to curb our ‘net cravings.
Just a couple more things and I’m outta here… Look back at my music review post, and you’ll see that I mentioned a few albums that I still wanted to get. Well, I picked up Sonata Arctica’s “Unia” CD yesterday and I got the chance to listen to it in full. It is simply an awesome album!! I’ll write more about it some other day and entry. Also, we took lots and lots of pictures so far in Chicago and the suburbs where we’re visiting everyone, so I’ll be sure to post as many as I can when we get back to our home in AZ. (and as soon as I can fix my Photo Gallery!!)
Cheers, everyone!
