Last weekend karla surprised me with a birthday weekend in Chicago. All she originally told me was "take the afternoon on Friday off, you don't get to know why". So when we landed at midway, I had some ideas of what karla had planned, but was totally surprised when all our great Chicago friends were waiting at Kristins to party! Karla arranged for personal chefs(the chef Monica has recently been on the food network show 'Chopped') and had a tapas themed fiesta. My favorite tapas were in order along with a crap load of wine. It was great to hang with friends we haven't seen in awhile, and some friends that we will see in Vegas soon. After the party had died down, I got the great idea to go to the local bar. Adam and patrick agreed to continue the party, and we ended up closing down the bar around 2pm.
A hangover was in order the next day. Fortunately it was raining the rest of the weekend, since I moved from the couch only to go to brunch. Karla and I did make it out to dinner at one of our favorite Chicago restaraunts, Bistro Campagne, a french restaraunt in our old neighborhood. After a nice walk after and a quick drive past Wrigley field, we got some much needed sleep. My good friend Amy drove up from Peoria to party, and it was nice to go to brunch with her and her boyfriend before a flight back to denver on Sunday. A great birthday weekend!!
