5 years ago today...

I made one of the best decisions of my life and married my best friend.  I am so very blessed that Chris is my husband and rarely give him enough credit for the amazing man, friend, husband and father he is.  We have never really gone anywhere or made our anniversary super special (I hate that we have gotten "used" to being with one another...we celebrated 13 years together this past January.) so when we got the opportunity and were invited to go to Chicago we went!  Our neighbors and friends, Joe and Danielle, invited us to attend a Cubs baseball game at Wrigley Field the day before our anniversary.  Going to Wrigley has been on Chris' bucket list (along with every other historic stadium in the country :) for as long as I can remember and he was so excited to go. We stayed in a hotel in Merrillville, Indiana the night before and wrote the train into Chicago.  Joe and Danielle took us to lunch at Goose Island microbrewery which was delicious!  Chris loved their IPA they brewed there and we were able to stay dry from the quick afternoon showers that started to fall right as we got off the L.  The rain cooled things down to a shocking 74 degrees at the start of game time!  (It was like over 100 degrees at home that day. :)  We walked around Wrigleyville in Chicago and actually saw the Cubs get a W for the day!  I loved watching the traditions that surround the Cubs, such as the rooftop seats and songs they sing at the conclusion of a game they won!   Chris and I drove back Friday, where he spent our actual anniversary golfing, while I shopped and spent time with my mom, dad and Cammie.  We concluded our evening at Rocky's with some of our best friends, Nick, Chrissie, Ellie, Brad, Meghan and Maddie.  Although it was the first time I left Cammie overnight (for 2 nights!!! Thank you Chrissie and Mom for watching her :) we had a great time!  So blessed!


Here are a few pictures from our trip...not the greatest, but all I had was my phone and it was a cloudy, rainy day. :/


Chris and I in front of the bean :)
Wrigley Field!

The view from our seats :)  They were great!

See the W flag...Yay for a win! If you were close enough to see the Red's flag is on top because they were in first in the NL Central....Go Reds!! :)
