Chicago

Matt and I were able to take a quick trip to Chicago this weekend. Matt actually has a conference Monday-Thursday, so we went the weekend before, and I came home early. It was so nice for us to get away together. We haven't done that in a long time.

We were able to see Wicked. It was an awesome play, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We went to the Navy Pier, saw 2 movies. (Which we rarely do, because of babysitting issues!) We ate out, shopped on Michigan Avenue, and had a great time.

My flight home wasn't great....It was packed, and delayed by 3 hours. Once in the air, there were too many turbulence, so the pilot flew over Kansas, then down towards Texas, over Oklahoma. While over Oklahoma, he comes on the speaker and says, we have about 2 hours of flight time left. (He never mentioned anything before this, so we thought we were almost in Utah by then.) So I didn't get home until midnight- and was supposed to have been there by 6:00. Oh well- I did a lot of reading. :)

All in all it was a great weekend. It was so much fun for just the two of us to get away and talk. We love our kids, but it sure can be tough to finish a conversation with them!
