The world is a funnier, more story filled, and more beautifully strange place with her in it. Any of you that know her are sure to agree.Let me tell you all a short story. Picture a high school pep-rally.

But no worries, it's not what you think. The wonderful, always-on-my-mind love that I speak of is in regards to sandwiches! After years of searching for my favorite food I have come to realize that the closest I will ever come to choosing a favorite is to allot one category to my love of cuisine. That category is the sandwich.I know what you're thinking.

Now granted, each time I have visited has been about -1000 degrees but I still feel gypped in some way. In my lake dreams I always imagine myself ending up at Navy Pier, however the trip I took this weekend was definitely more up my alley. A quieter, more contemplative alley that is.Thanks to Mary Kathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00762345525531400732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944121398482583026.post-15115427693284762992009-09-13T18:58:00.010-05:002009-09-13T20:31:51.631-05:00Chicago Botanic GardenSo I have been in Chicago for two weeks now. There has been a lot of adjusting to do, but I have seen so many wonderful things already that it hardly seems difficult to adapt to this amazing city.The first weekend I arrived, Michael's mom took me the Chicago Botanic Garden. It's free to the public, but parking is $20 unless you have a hookup with a yearly pass (why yes, I did have a hookup).

I thought I would write you a little rap. I know what you're thinking, "Kat raps?" Why yes, yes I do. It is a newfound interest that came after sharing some Gumby's pokey stix with a few friends who decided to show Brittany and I their free-style rapping skills. Since then Kathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00762345525531400732noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944121398482583026.post-23107250114324523612009-08-13T12:00:00.003-05:002009-08-17T07:35:50.552-05:00Two Great Lakes?We have been really fortunate to have an extremely pleasant summer weather wise this year. I'm talking ridiculously mild. Beautiful scenery, cool breezes, and best of all a complete lack of humidity. My hair has really loved it.Anyways, the point of all of this wonderful weather talk is that it makes for very enjoyable hiking and exploration weather. Lots of walking has been happening here, and IKathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00762345525531400732noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944121398482583026.post-30504907556014254802009-08-10T15:13:00.009-05:002009-08-12T11:38:30.768-05:00A Fiasco can be a good thing...This was it, my chance to see Lupe Fiasco in concert. I had been dreaming about this since my brother played The Cool for me a few summers ago and now, not only was I seeing him in concert, I was beneath the St. Louis Arch and the show was absolutely free.I arrived downtown with my brother and Brittany to sunshiny happiness and a cool breeze. Since we arrived early, Brit and I decided to explore Kathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00762345525531400732noreply@blogger.com1
