Hooray, the trip has been booked. We’re flying Southwest airlines to Chi-town on Monday August 29, coming home the 4th. We’re staying the first three nights at what looks like a charming hotel located right downtown, and the last three nights at our friends’ apartment on the northside. I am super excited to see everyone and explore the city and see a Sox game and meet Claire and otherwise imagine myself there. We are avoiding car rental so that we will be on foot and on train more.

Now to spend the next two months having miniature panic attacks about flying! :p

Ah well, it’s how I am I guess. And yes, it sucks.

Anyway. Friday!!! Tomorrow is spend the day with my husband day, since he has been a big ol’ workaholic this week. So that raise he’s getting next month better be good. Is all I’m saying.
