Busy Saturday!

I am simply exhausted from yesterday. Must be a sign I'm getting old... haha! Yesterday was my friend and co-worker Nicole's bridal shower in Indiana AND her bachelorette party downtown Chicago. (Now you all know why I'm so tired!) The bridal shower was nice... it was in the church she will get married in which is BEAUTIFUL... lots of stained glass which I LOVE... it just creates a nice ambiance. Paul and Nicole made out like bandits... they received many nice gifts... the best was some luggage for their honeymoon that was from her grandmother that passed away about a year ago. You could tell how meaning full it was to both of them.
The bachelorette party was a blast... we stayed downtown at the Marriott on Michigan Avenue... went to Fado (an Irish pub) for dinner and I had some amazing fish and chips... went back and opened gifts... and then went out to Bar Chicago on Rush and Division. There were a few other bachelorette parties there... we ended up hooking up with this other bachelor party that was there and hanging out with them most of the evening which was fun. Yes, there was even some dancing on the bar involved. Oh, and by the way... the beds at the Marriott are SUPER comfortable... for future reference for anyone that wants to know!
And finally... Saturday wasn't only a busy day for me but for my friend Lyndsey down in Missouri... she had a baby boy!!! Congratulations to dad Derek and sister Gentrie as well. Gage Alan Davis is a big boy too... 9 lbs 7 oz... at least momma will have some relief now since she won't be carrying all that in the summer heat and humidity! A trip to Missouri will happen in the next month or so... I need to see the new baby!
Guess that's it for now... hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
