Evanston Wedding- Jenny and Dave

This past weekend we packed up the Civic and headed to Evanston, IL. Our college friends, Dave and Jenny got married on Saturday. Dave and Erik went on Term in Asia together. Jenny and I went on Global together. Dave and Jenny have been together since sophomore year of college. I've been excited for this wedding for a long time! Jenny and I have very similar tastes, so I was excited to see and taste everything she had planned. The reception was held at the Woman's Club of Evanston, a short walk from our hotel. The food was amazing, warm chocolate chip cookie pie for dessert!

On Sunday we got to hang out with some friends at Jenny's parents house while they opened some gifts. Then a small group of us headed to the Cubs game. It was awesome to hang out with people and be at the stadium, but it was HOT! We enjoyed standing by the misters and sharing a Ziploc bag of ice. We think we maybe spent one inning actually sitting in our seats.

All in all, a wonderful weekend away. Congratulations to the Gruners!

Bread and Pickle

This evening I headed to Lake Harriet with some of my favorite girls. Meredith, Linnea and I enjoyed dinner at the Bandshell's concession stand, Bread and Pickle. The food is decent, but the view is spectacular. I got the mint chip ice cream cone for dessert, and they let me get the kid size for $2!

It's hot here in MN, but I'm trying to make the best of it, with popsicles and visits to the lake. I have to remind myself of these hot days when it is below freezing in January.
