We had such a fun, busy holiday weekend! Our friends, Brad and Angi, came up to our house this past Thursday to visit for the weekend. We grilled out that night, and just got to hang out and enjoy our deck and backyard. They brought their 14 month old puppy, Aggie, to stay as well. Her and Guinness actually got along well...Aggie was a little disappointed that Guinness wouldn't play with her, but she got over it fast! Friday I had to work, but Ryan, Angi, and Brad went to Navy Pier and walked around the city. Friday night, we met up with our friends, Blair and Megan, and went out to a sushi restaurant downtown Chi, then to a bar. My friend from grad school was in town, Sara, for a bachelorette party, so she met us out as well Friday night. Saturday we woke up early to head down to Wrigleyville for the CUBS vs. REDS game. It was a perfect day for the game. Our seats were in the shade as well, so I stayed really comfortable throughout the game. We went out to a bar after the CUBS kicked the REDS butt :) for a bit, but Angi and Brad had to head home to Indy that night. Today my friend Sara came over and we grilled out...we spent the day just hanging out and catching up, we haven't seen each other for 2 years!! It was so good to just sit and talk with her, it is like nothing has changed between us, we picked right up where we last left off! I didn't realize how much I missed her!
Tonight Ryan and I are just taking it easy and gonna go to the local firework show. I have to work tomorrow (boooo) but Ryan has the day off. Not fair! I hope everyone is having a great Fourth of July weekend!
