Goodbye to my First Place


310 W Miner St #3B
Arlington Heights, IL 60005

This past weekend, I packed up all of my remaining things in Arlington Heights and moved to the city to live with Danny. My place in Arlington Heights was my first apartment where I was solely responsible for everything!

I had a great landlord, Phil, and a perfect location to downtown Arlington Heights. Jewel-Osco was my next door neighbor, and bars/restuarants were a minutes walk away. There wasn't anything more that I could have asked for, for it being my first place.

The U-Haul truck was loaded in less than an hour and then unloaded by Danny, Brad and myself in under an hour as well. Unpacking and organizing everything is and probably will be another story in itself. And I am very excited to begin my new adventures with Danny and Maddie in the city!

Stanley Cup Playoffs- Game 1


Danny, Kris and Tommy made it on TV again (and I saw them)! Blackhawks won their first game in overtime... scoring 12 seconds into the overtime!

When asked for comment about the game... he said "It was awesome & that he is losing his voice".

Cubs vs Yankees

We were very excited to go to New York city to see my sister and to go to a Cubs game.... (the Cubs game that got me out of running a half marathon) ;) We wore our Cubs gear on the plane and most of the day on Saturday!

The new yankee stadium was very cool
and right next to the old stadium. There were a
good amount of Cub fans... and we were only
heckled by a few drunken yankee fans. Before the
game we got to sneak down to the field and see
the Cubs warm up!

(or fall down and hurt themselves??)

So we have a picture of a tie game.....
And if you ask me... that was the final score.
The cubs did not loose like 1-10. haha.
What can I say, I am a true Cub fan and this
is the year that they will go all the way!!!!

Corner Bistro- New York City


YES... This is the burger that we had that began the cheating for our Lent Resolution of no meat. You can tell that I hadn't had meat in a real long time by the grease stain on my shirt! The burger was thick, messy and delicious!! After having this, there was no going back to a vegetarian life for us.

Anyone who goes to New York and wants a great Burger- go to the Corner Bistro.
