chicagoversary

it's been a year that we've been in chicago now. i thought it only appropriate that we highlight our...okay, my...top favorites so far.

watching the leaves turn gorgeous colors in the fall

walking everywhere

spending thanksgiving in the city with the balkmans

eating delicious food with people we like a lot. we were really excited about chicago's food reputation and have not been disappointed!

surviving the winter unharmed and not completely depressed.
um, this isn't really a favorite. more like a feat.
but lest i over exaggerate, the winter was pretty mild

watching the chicago river turn green for st. paddy's day

sitting front and center at beauty and the beast

learning how to be a teacher

taking advantage of free concerts and events around the city

looking out our windows at this

nights avec les femmes

and warm summer nights like this one

two years ago we were the young and the restless, we were freshly married, and we were taking our first train ride trying to figure out if we liked this city or not while we spent the summer interning.

choosing chicago was one of the best decisions we've made.
i can't picture us anywhere else at this point in our lives.

to another year in the windy city...
