- Chicago -

We took a quick roadtrip to Chicago this weekend [mostly] to have my wedding band made, but also [and more excitingly] to explore the Windy City! 

The first stop was ring shopping at New York Jewelers.  On the way out, I couldn't help but gawk at all these GIANT diamonds in the window! Wowza.

We took a quick walk through Millennium Park and [of course] posed for a touristy picture at The Bean...

NEVER dreamed we'd bump into my bridesmaid from Cleveland on the streets of Chicago...!!! Weird! We had a great time catching up. :) 

Wrigley Field was pretty sweet, but we made sure to advertise for our CHAMPION St. Louis Cardinals! 

The last part of the weekend was spent at the wonderful IKEA in Schaumburg!  LOVE. THAT. PLACE...

...and Brian did, too! :) 

We made it home safely from Chi-town, but my engagement ring has to stay for two weeks!  

...Fourteen days as a single lady...

What to do, what to do?! ;)
