Fabulous Weekend!!

Wasn't the weather this past weekend fantastic? Ben and I headed down to Chicago with some friends to celebrate Steph's birthday. Saturday it was 60 and sunny downtown! We had such a great time walking around, shopping, and just hanging out. We got a great deal on a suite at Embassy Suites and were close to pretty much everything. We hit up Hardrock Cafe for dinner and then chilled in the hotel hot tub. I didn't take many pictures, but here is one of the birthday girl and I:
Looking at the picture, I REALLY need summer back - I'm so pale! Yesterday felt like spring as well. I went for a nice long after work and just tried to enjoy the weather while I could. I really don't want snow to come back!

This week is quite busy. Monday we went to Founder's to hear a friend of Ben's play in the Grand Rapids Jazz Orchestra, tonight is the Calvin-Hope game (go Knights!), tomorrow night we have an event at work, and Friday is the first visit day of the new semester. I'm looking forward to the weekend!

Since Ben lost his job, our puppy plans have been put on hold for the time being. Instead, we're watching other people's dogs! We had Ben's parents dog last weekend and will have her again the last weekend in February. This coming week, we'll be watching Lexi, Kristen's dog while she's at WPPI. I'm excited!
