Oh, Sunday night. Beirut is sleeping next to me on the couch. Lil is sleeping on the floor next to the couch. Socrates is unaccounted for. And Bobby, well, he is asleep on the floor in front of the TV. It is officially 9PM on a Sunday!
To catch this blog up, it’s been a month since our vacation to Chicago.
There we are on top of the Sears Tower (or Willis Tower for all you heathens). It was a beautiful, awesome, life-changing trip. The weather can only be described as PERFECT EVERY DAY. Never humid, and the one time it did rain, we were indoors and once we ventured out, it stopped just for us. We did all the touristy things and ate a lot of pizza. Caught a Cubs game for free. Spent a lot of money solely on cab fare. Lived the good life in a sweet hotel across the street from a Trader Joe’s. Of course found a pub that hosted Trivia Night. Ate at the most expensive (I’m assuming) restaurant along Michigan Avenue that came with our own drink waiter, food waiter, bread waiter, and napkin folder. Oh, yeah, we also got engaged.
So I wear a ring now, and it’s got a heart in it so it’s perfect. The proposal happened at the top of the Hancock Observatory. Long story short, we paid full price to get in (our Go Chicago cards did not work after 5PM) and saw no actual fireworks (despite what all the people working there thought we would see). Yeah, it was the one Saturday night in the summer they did NOT have fireworks. I was upset, ready to go, and he popped the question. Haha, it was perfect too!
So now we are getting married. We have this general pencil outline of every detail, but the worst part is we don’t have a date set, and that pretty much puts a halt on going forward. So hopefully within the next week or two we will have a set date! Depends on the site, because I found the perfect place and I will work around their availability. Once that is done, everything will fall into place. It’s gonna be PERFECT!
