Great times....

This past week has been amazing. On Thursday I went to Chicago to pick up my friend from california. We spent the night in Chicago and the next day. The White Sox game was fun, though I made one foolish blunder. I was asked by a fan if I was a Sox fan, in which I told them that I was not, and that I liked the Cubs. I was a target of their hatred throughout the beginning of the game...until the Sox started to get killed, in which I smiled to myself...and kept my mouth shut.

The next day my friend asked me where the Sears Tower and the Empire State building were at. I pointed out the Sear's Tower to him, and then I pointed to a building that looked almost as tall as the Empire State building, and told him that I thought that could be the Empire. To the readers out there who are not catching the humor in this, the Empire State building is in NYC, not Chitown. He takes out his phone and says "I'll look it up on the internet." He proceeds to look it up and say, no thats not the Empire. I say, ok, its a different building. He shows me the picture on the internet and says, it looks like that. We stop at the park and he continues to look at the picture, then he tells me, "Hey, the Empire State building is in New York." At this point I started laughing...oh man...the games we play:)

Next we met up with an old friend at the Navy Pier, we rode the ferris wheel and got dinner at the Bubba Gumps place (Run Forest run!!!) Next we went to Wrigley Field. Going to Wrigley and taking pictures was much better than any White Sox game. Wrigley is amazing!

That night we headed home and then went a wedding. Its amazing that these 2 friends of mine are married. I went to school with them and everything. I'm still single...I need to get on the ball apparently(sarcasm).

The next day I went to my best friends house. He lives off Lake Michigan. I love just hanging out on the beach and kayaking and such. Great times.

Tomorrow I go back to school for cross country practice. I am a little nervous about it, but I'm sure it'll be fun to meet new people and to see if I can stay in that top 7.
