Visitors!

We had our first official visitors this past weekend, Jen and Kathy!  We had a great time together with a fun filled weekend.  Below are some pictures and highlights of the weekend.

The first thing we did on Saturday morning was go to the city for the Sprinkles Cupcakes opening.  We got on a special invite list because I am friends with them on facebook.  We enjoyed two free cupcakes each...they were beyond delicious!

Us waiting in line with our special Sprinkles stickers!  Of course I wore my shirt!

Ready to enjoy our cupcakes!

After we ate our delicious cupcakes, we met up with an old high school friend, Michelle.  We did some shopping and she walked us to where they were filming the next Transformers movie.  I was too short to really see anything...but it was neat to be there.  Below is a picture of what we saw.


After all this fun, we went out to a great dinner and made our way to our show for the evening...Thunder from Down Under!  You read it right...we went to a male review show!  We had seen the show when we had just turned 21 in Vegas and wanted to see it again because it was in Chicago.  It was definitely an experience!  Below is a picture of us from the night.


On Sunday, we did some more shopping and went to visit the Chicago Botanic Gardens.  It was gorgeous!  I ended up purchasing a membership because it is a great place to go running at.  Below you will find some pictures from our time there.








Although I was sad to see Jen and Kathy leave, I have another friend coming today...Lauren!  We are sure to continue the fun with more exploring of my new city!
