The Andersons: May 2007

All in one weekend I was saying hello and goodbye to so many friends! First, for graduation weekend I had Beth and Brittany staying with me for graduation, just for a short weekend. Then I was able to have breakfast with my friend Ginny who was my college roommate and bridesmaid. It was very good to catch up with her. I was able to meet Beth's parents at her graduation.

I was also able to meet Adam's parents and see him graduate.

After meeting the families of my friends, I was able to catch up with a few friends, one of which was Mike and his fiancee!!

Congratulations!

Their engagement was very interesting. To learn more click on their picture!!!

On Saturday there was a going away party for one of my friends at work. Liz has left us at ShopKo pharmacy to become a physicians assistant! For her party she chose to go to Chicago.

We left late Saturday morning and drove to Chicago. When we got there we shopped @ Lori's Shoes - The Sole of Chicago and that was quite the experience for me considering I am not a shoe connoisseur at ALL! There were some very interesting shoes there.

Then we ate lunch at Tilli's Restaurant. It was a nice little place. We had chicken quesadillas, calamari, spinach/artichoke dip with pita bread, salad and I had hummus for the first time. It was pretty good!

We then proceeded to the "Magninficent Mile" on Michigan Ave! Lots of shopping was done there! We went to Filene's Basement then to

I have never been to this store but it was very interesting. Kind of a teenie bopper store so Kate and I walked to Starbucks while everyone was shopping there. After that Kate and I separated from the others and took off to "Vickie's", Borders's, the Hershey's Store which was very cool! We then proceded to the Water Tower Place, the coolest mall I have yet been to! It is a 7 story mall with an awesome food court! We didn't have much time left so we didn't get to go everywhere we wanted but we did go to Fossil and on the way we met up with the other girls at Soho where they were trying on hair extensions. It was very interesting and quite realistic. They had beautiful hair clips and baretts there. After that we were out of time and had to proceed to our next appointment at N9NE. There we wined and dined.

For dinner between us we had steak, lobster, shrimp, crab, chicken, veggies and "on the house" "compliments of the chef" sushi! It was crazy! It was a small square of tuna topped with a shrimp topped with cavier all with wabasi sauce on it. I did try it and that was enough for me. This was quite a day of experiences. After dinner came dessert! Yum yum!
