Best Seats in the House!!!

Recently when I went home to visit, my dad and I went out to watch The Dark Knight. We wanted to see it in Imax before it left theaters. Well when we got our tickets we were in shock. The guy who let us in said you two have the best seats in the house. Reclining leather seats. They even had huge leather and wooden arm rests. It was amazing!!! It was almost like sitting in a lazy boy at home, but better!!! Bigger screen of course!!

The Twin Cities

This past weekend I was able to go up to visit some of my friends that live up in near St. Paul Minnesota. The first night there we watched lots of football highlights and college football. On Sunday we went to church and I got to see the temple. Then my friend Liz and I drove all around Minneapolis and St. Paul. We drove through the neighborhoods and parks. I got to see tons of cool Cathedrals and the Capital.
Then that night we watch more football. The Bears play the Colts...All the girl, except me, sat behind the couches and scrap booked and the boys and me watched the game. I wish I could have seen a bit more in the City, but we all had a good time just hanging out watching lots of football.

Rainy Days

One thing that I am going to miss so much when I go back home to Utah is all the rain they get here in Chicago. Twice this past week it rained the entire day. It wasn't a little bit of rain...It was constant rain all day!!! It made you want to just curl up on the couch with a blanket and a cocoa!!! I will miss that. I wish you could tell in this picture how are it was raining.

Midnight Sun Sadness

So I was looking some stuff up online and found out that Stephenie Meyer isn't going to finish her book Midnight Sun...For those who don't know it is the book Twilight from Edward's prospective. I guess someone leaked the book and she decided not to finish it...hopefully just for now.

She put the draft on her website if anyone would like to read it....

First Signs of Fall

So today I noticed the first signs of fall....The weather was finally cool today and I think that it is now the start of cold weather. I am so sad. I took a walk today because the weather was so wonderful and noticed the leaves on some of the trees start to turn colors. I am excited for the pretty leaves, but I am sad that the summer is over. Goodbye Summer 2008

Sidewalk Cafes

One of my favorite things here in Chicago are the little outdoor cafes..Well when it gets warm outside, many of the cafes and restaurants open up their large windows or even entire walls to the street. I love having them wide open and the tables outside on the sidewalks. It is so relaxing to just sit outside in the wonderful perfect air. I don't think I have had a more perfect summer, weather wise, than this one. Nothing is more fun than sitting outside at a little cafe, eating great food and chatting with a brunch of friends.

Chicago Botanic Gardens

So I went to the Botanic Gardens Here in Chicago 3 times last month and loved them. There were so many beautiful sites...I took tons of pictures. I don't have many of myself but I'm going to put a few on here that I took that I like lots.
