A wedding, fireworks and a walk through the city

Wow! It has been awhile since I last wrote a post. There is a lot to catch up on.

I took all last week off of work. It was a much needed vacation.

Ellie and I made the crazy drive up to Michigan through thunder and lightening. She was terrified.

I spent 4th of July weekend at my mom's. She lives out in the country on 10 acres. It was peaceful and relaxing. We started my visit with an afternoon of shopping. We had a family wedding the next day. Congrats Jeremy and Megan!

They had a small simple wedding. It was great to see family and friends. I can't believe little cousin Jeremy is all grown up.

Last Wednesday, Matt and I took the train into the city to meet his cousin and his girlfriend for dinner. We had a blast! After dinner we walked down to Navy Pier for some putt-putt (Matt and I beat them) :) and went on the big ferris wheel. Have I mentioned that I am scared of heights? TERRIFIED. I was a good sport and went on it.
