How is it already Monday?! The weekends seriously go by at warp speed!! Oh well... Friday's just around the corner ;) Seriously though, we had a good, somewhat productive weekend! I'm in a pretty random mood, so bullet points might be the best way to sum it up, ha!
- Friday night, Z had a business meeting/Christmas party {Christmas mid January?!} so Lolly and I decided to have a girls' night out! We have been dying to try RPM Italian {big Giuliana and Bill fans!!}, and we just have not been able to talk our guys into going... so it seemed like the perfect place for girls' night! We forgot to make reservations until Friday, so of course all they had available was 4:00... no thanks. We decided to wing it and hope for a table?! Turns out the bar area is first come, first serve, so we found two seats at the bar pretty fast! The prices didn't look that bad, the decor was pretty, and it definitely had that "see and be seen" vibe. But then our food came out... I ordered tortellini and Lolly ordered ravioli. We literally each got five pieces of pasta on a plate... five! That's it! We ate our very tiny portions of pasta, paid way too much for such a small meal, and then went and got some more food, ha! So needless to say, pretty disappointed in RPM :/
- Z and I are looking for a new apartment. We have literally been spending almost any time he is off work scouring the internet and racing to appointments. I'm so over it!! Ha! There are SO MANY apartments in this city. We've had the hardest time deciding even which part of Chicago we want to live in, much less which building, and which unit! And don't even get me started on how much it cost if you want to keep your car. I forgot how spoiled we are with the parking being included in our current rent. I really was starting to wonder if we would ever find the right one. We finally saw one last night that felt like home ;) Now we're praying it all works out before someone else snatches it up!!
- After a FULL day of looking at places on Saturday, we met our friends for dinner {always love dinner dates!}. We were wanting to try somewhere new, so we found a highly recommended pizza place in West Chicago, Coalfire Pizza. This was not your typical Chicago pizza. It was thin crust and SO delicious!!! Love finding new favorites!
- I think the Chicago winter has arrived. It was 13 degrees this morning when I walked to the school I sub at. 13 degrees. And the weather channel app said it felt like 3 degrees. And the children were playing outside when I arrived. There were literally icicles hanging from all of the cars, the school's gate, the trees. Ugh!! Too cold!!!
- Yesterday in church, the pastor used the Alabama national championship game in his message, so funny! I thought Z was going to stand up and let out a "roll tide!" Thankfully he resisted the urge ;)
Okay I think that's all the randomness I have for today! I seriously need to clean this apartment... and start cleaning out/packing! I'll share more details about the apartment hunt/our potential new place soon! And maybe some pictures if we get the place we love!!!
