These past few weeks have been a whirlwind of activity and food. Game night and Nancy’s with the Salas clan; Brookfield Zoo with Julie; Lincoln Park Zoo and the best falafal sandwiches EVER with Kate; The Dance Experiment with UofI buds; getting lost in Chicago at night in a scary neighborhood and Giordano’s with Sarah; a puppy photo shoot, Nerts, and Passaro’s with Jennie; Taco Extravaganza (!!!), Rice Krispie Treat bunt cakes and Banagrams with my family…
It was so hard to say goodbye to everyone…again.
And now, 15lbs heavier than I was when I came home in February, I am on a plane, making my way to Philadelphia for two weeks of training for my first full-time w/benefits job in my (almost) 29 years of life. I called my employer last night to check in and with a jovial laugh he said, “I’m still working on your housing and job description, but, no worries! We still have 15 hours before your plane lands!” And the funny thing is, I’m not worried. Not one bit.
The “visit” came and went by so fast! The memories brought a little tear to my eye! This is another awesome adventure in front of you and I cannot wait to hear more….and yes, see more. THIS time I will visit!
