Weekend Recap

Happy Monday!

This was our last weekend in town before we head home to Texas for Christmas. We kept it pretty low-key and relaxed, but still had a really good weekend.

It was absolutely gorgeous outside on Saturday (high 40's and SUNNY), so we decided to take Molly to the dog beach. The dog beach is one of her favorite places ever and she had a blast. She loves the way the sand feels on her feet and will just run and run and run.

After the dog park, we dropped Molly off at home and headed back out on foot to check out a burger place a few blocks from our apartment. Phillip had a bacon cheeseburger and I had their barbacoa quesadillas and both were fantastic. 

 I love this city. Just walking around to makes me so happy. 

We wore our Christmas sneakers, so I had to grab a picture of our feet. :)

We talked about going to the Christkindl Market after lunch, but I had leftovers I wanted to bring home so we ended up coming back after that and decided to stay in and watch Christmas movies. We watched both Love Actually and Miracle on 34th Street (the one with Matilda, not the original).

Sunday was spent doing all the laundry and cleaning and getting ready to be out of town for a week. (And watching the Packers lose, but that part doesn't really need to be discussed.)

Weekend Recap

Happy Monday!

This weekend, like all weekends, went by way too quickly.

Saturday morning I went to the gym and then I spent some time setting up this little blog.

We moved into our new apartment in Chicago in October and are still searching for some pieces of furniture and other things for it. I'd ordered a console table online from Wayfair (we needed something super narrow for the weird little space we have behind our couch) and it was supposed to be delivered next Tuesday, but I got a fun little surprise notification saying it had been delivered. Phillip went down to the package room to grab that and we got it assembled while watching Home Alone.

After that, we hopped in the car and headed out to Rockford (where Phillip is from - about 90 minutes from Chicago) to meet up with his brother and cousin for an amateur (the signs outside called it pro, but it was most definitely amateur) wresting event.

On the way out there, we stopped at a Home Goods in the suburbs to look for some things we needed because suburban Home Goods stores are a thousand times better than city Home Goods stores. It's a fact. We were looking for three things specifically on this trip and we scored a table/shelf thing and a giant mirror, but struck out on the giant floor lamp, which we wouldn't have been able to fit in the car anyway, so it all worked out.

Now the wresting. Y'all. This was exactly as weird as you are imagining it would be, but it was so much fun. We had a blast and it was fun hanging out with Phillip's brother and cousin.

Sunday was filled with normal Sunday things, like the gym and grocery shopping. We continued working on getting the apartment set up and started hanging things on the walls (I'll share more apartment photos later once we're a little more settled and it looks less like a constant war zone) while we watched football. 

Overall, I'd say we had a fun and productive weekend around here.
