Mini Vacay

I told you guys these posts were going to be few and far between..... oh well. Soon I'll start doing actually interesting things with my life and there will be more to talk about? Maybe? Probably not, but maybe I should just tell you about the boring stuff anyway.

Well today is actually about something interesting:

Nick and I get a little baby vacation in Chicago! Woohoo! Thanks for auditioning for grad schools up there, hun, I really appreciate it :) He has an audition for the CSO Chorus tonight and his Northwestern audition is Friday in the early evening, meaning we get ALL OF THURSDAY TO DO WHATEVER WE WANT IN CHICAGO. YES. And really, part of Friday, too! Currently, Nick is making us some breakfast, I'm trying to finish the last of my laundry that seems to pile up instantly after I finish it, and, oh yeah, I should probably pack. We plan on leaving around 1:00 today and checking into our little Evanston hotel around 4:30ish. We decided to just hotel it because A) We can get continental breakfast every morning and B) King-sized beds. Oh yeah, and I guess the fact that Nick will get some good rest for his auditions rather than not if we stayed with friends.

I am so so so excited to get back up there! It's been since last November. Not cool. We thought we would be going 2 weekends ago but it turns out his CCPA audition wasn't actually then, but February 16th. Whoops! Needless to say, we had a nice weekend together at home, but boy was I  bummed to not get some time in the city. It works out better this way, though, because that would have been a very quick trip, and this time we can really enjoy the time away! Not to mention, we're both very excited about graduate school for him! It feels like everything we've talked about with moving on to the next stage of our lives is officially happening once he auditions. Then, the hardest part is over, and we just have to wait! Actually, that is the hardest part. But, either way, I'm excited that we are that much closer to getting out of Decatur!

I know Nick wants to take it easy these next couple of days, but there is no way I'm going to be in Chicago and not check out a few stores, especially since I didn't get to last time we were there! The wedding shoe hunt is almost to a close since I rediscovered a wonderful site where you can design your own shoes, but I want to take one more look around, starting with the Chicago Nordstrom :) And I still have yet to see the new Topshop! Annnd if we have some spare time I wouldn't mind going to Crate and Barrel to at least look at everything in person, if not register. I also have a date with my lovely Jordan planned for Thursday night, and I can't wait to see that lady's face!

I hope to take a few pictures and post them later! Ta-ta for now!

  1. Nice! Please let me know how the auditions go. Is CSO Chorus a paid position?
