winter is here!!!!!
hello!
I haven't updated in so long and I feel so bad but I think I have been better at keeping in touch with everyone. It's snowing here tonight and I am at my new favorite coffee shop close to my apartment. It's called Noble Tree, paintings on the walls and 3 story's of comfy couches and quiet people. The windows are foggy because it's sooo cold outside. I am still working six days a week and have my Thursdays off. I am getting sick of it and might condense to one job soon. I am still trying to feel out Chicago and it's crazy weather. We have a love/hate relationship because of the weather and the transportation. The people are what are keeping me here though, I really didn't expect to meet so many great people! Since moving here I have really tried to calm down and let things in my life happen for a reason and be patient enough to see why people come in and out of my life. I think I have done well with this.
I am excited to come home for Christmas, I am eager to see everyone and trying to figure out what to convince Aunt Julie to make for my vegetarian dish this year! haha I am getting stressed about how to get home though....if any one has ideas let me know because the bus will be pricey and crowded :(
Well I am proud of myself for posting and I hope you all are doing well and keeping warm! Lots of love and hugs to you!!!!!!!!!

updates!
Hello friends and family!!
I am getting really bad at updating... BUT everything is going well! I have lived in my new apartment for a week and a half now and I love it!! No more weird roommate and no more 40 minutes to and from work! My new address is 707 w.Wellington apt 1 chicago I'll 60657 so now you all have it! My new roommates are cool. Kate is 24 and from a small town in IL.she works at a childrens gym in the city and she is super funny and sweet! Kim is 28 and is an army bratt so she has lived all over but she spent the most time in texas. She works at the Grand Lux Cafe with me and she also works at a design firm in a north suburb part time. We are all in love with the new place and the two cats love it too!!
I am on the train on my way to work right now and there must be a baseball game because everyone is so loud and smelly! Its ovbiously june...yet it is still only in the 50's here. :( it has been pretty cold and rainy. I am starting to second guess my moving choice due to the weather.
The new modern wing is open now at the art institute but I still haven't gone, between having only one day off a week and moving I just lost track. BUT I did go last week to the contemporary art museum with a guy friend from work (on the free day of course) and it was awesome!! I will for sure go back. I have been really excited to find out the free day for the aquarium because I want to go again, its been years! Well I'm getting train sick from typing so I wil go but I promise to update tomorrow becasue I am off!! Yay
Love and kisses!!

may time!
Hello All!
I haven't written in a while...i know i know BUT i have been pretty busy with my two jobs and apartment hunting! I have been at starbucks about two weeks now and I like it! I missed making coffee and i work with some interesting people! A really nice thing about it is that it is only one block from The Grand Lux so I can get to and from really easily. I am continuously making new friends and experiencing new things! I have gotten close to a girl from work, Kim, she is from texas and has lived here for about 3 years. She is a hostess at GLC with me, that is how we met and now we are thinking about rooming together. I have gone out with her a few times and one night we went to listen to her friends band, they were AMAZING! when I remember their name i will post it so you can all hear them! They are funk, soul, rock, SO good and that same night after they were done playing, the dj played stevie wonder dance music :) my fave
I am talking to Resha right now about what we are going to do for her birthday in aug, we are thinking about taking a trip to NYC, San Diago, or maybe Seattle, any ideas or suggestions?
I have been sick these past few days again, but nothing like the last time i was sick! thank goodness! Just kind of under the weather and I'm sure it's just because the weather here has been crazy! today it was 65 and then dropped to 40.....NOT FUN! I need some constant nice weather! I hope you all are having some!
I got my package from my Aunties and Ma, thanks so much everyone! I loved everything and will wear out my new red bag in no time :) haha
I have taken some photos in black and white and I cant wait to find somewhere to develop them! i have a few on my phone that i will figure out how to upload soon!
How is everyone?? leave me a fun comment so I know that people are actually reading this :) haha I love you allllll! and missssss you!!!!

home sweet home
Hey all! I just wanted to tell everyone about my trip back home. I was home sunday through wednsday and I got to see aunt julie, uncle paul, kimmie and the girls, mom, and julia. It was nice being home for a few days and away from the hussle and bussle. We did some shopping and went to dinner on tuesday. All of us girls went to the village deli after attempting something new but we wanted some food food! Haha I went to dinner with julia on monday night at upland. So fun! Today I met my friend sarah who is from bloomington up in evenston. We went to a movie and lunch. It is soo nice out here that we just walked around too! I'm on my way to work now, I'm sad I work on such a beautiful day :( I hope everyone is well and I'm sad that I didn't get to see everyone while I was home but even more reason to come visit me!!
Hugs and kisses!

back to normal...almost
Today was my first day back to work for a few days...I made it! I felt half normal today, I was training to be a filler which means I will be the person behind the computer filling guests into table, basically making sure everyone in the whole restaurant is happy...A lot of WORK! and stress but today went well. After work I went to my interview at Starbucks and it went really well! It was very laid back and she talked to me like I already had the job. It is a Starbucks inside a hotel so there are other managers that I need to meet before I am officially hired but tomorrow I am going back in to meet other managers so hopefully by this time next week I will have a second job! YAY I am excited.
Robert, my roommate, and I have been interviewing people to take over his room and in the interviewing process I met a girl named Anita. She is around 28 and from the suburbs. She is really sweet and seemed shy but fun! She works in insurance and does some bar tending too. Now we are looking for a place together because things seem to be taking too long to figure out for this apartment, so I might have a new roommate and new apartment soon! It would be awesome if we could find somewhere with an office or an extra room so that we could have a guest room but we are looking more to save money than anything else right now. She invited me to a hockey game tomorrow night so I will be attending my first hockey game! Well I'm about to go take my meds and read :)
Have a good night everyone!!
