Our Chicago Bucket List


The past few months have been a little nutty.  Almost immediately after getting engaged, we found out that Erik got into grad school.  This means WE ARE MOVING TO NEW YORK.


I have never lived outside the Midwest, so I'm super excited about living in NYC - but I sure will miss Chicago! With one summer left (or half of a summer - we'll move sometime in July), we decided to make a "Chicago Bucket List" of all the things we want to make sure we do before we move.  We've already managed to tackle a few - suggestions are welcome!


OUR CHICAGO BUCKET LIST

1. Six Flags Great America
2. Attend as many Sox games as possible! (so far: 2 for me, 1 for Erik)
3. Sears Tower Skydeck
4. Half Acre Beer Tour
5. Chinatown
6. Arlington Racetrack
7. Brookfield Zoo
8. Green City Market
9. Go to the beach
10. Attend as many street festivals as possible
11. Watch a movie in a park.
12. Eat at Hot Doug’s
13. Architectural Boat Tour
14. Eat lots of deep-dish pizza (Lou Malnati’s, Giordano’s, etc.)

Allow me to brag for a moment...

I'm not usually one to post tons of pictures of myself (maybe I am?), but I just had to share some photos from our engagement shoot.  My extremely talented photographer also just happens to be my sister Rosie!  She is seriously amazing and I can't believe how many awesome shots she got of me and Erik - and I know that couldn't have been easy (we are both pretty awkward).

If you would like Rosie to photograph something, just let me know and I'll give you her contact info.
