Weekend Happenings

Man is it Monday already?! How does the weekend seriously go so quickly. I definitely think this past weekend flew by because A made a quick trip for the weekend. He got in on Friday evening so after grabbing some dinner, we rented The Big Short. I really liked the movie, because it made sense of the housing market crash...definitely recommend watching!

Saturday started out with brunch with my bestie and her hubby at Honeyberry Cafe. It was such a delicious meal and even better time brunching with friends!


Afterwards we headed to the outlet mall to have A pick out goodies for his birthday gift (have I mentioned how incredibly hard and picky he is for picking out gifts for?!) After we had done plenty of shopping, we headed downtown because it was a beautiful day in Chicago, finally!!! We decided to hit up Lincoln Park Zoo along with the rest of Chicago. It was fun seeing the different animals and was totally enamored with the flamingos, they are just such beautiful creatures!!!


Then we headed to grab an early dinner before heading to The Laugh Factory Chicago



It was such a fun night and I even got to meet/take a picture with LaRoyce Hawkins who was the host for the evening. If you don't know him or think you may recognize him...he plays Detective Kevin Atwater on Chicago P.D. That is one of my favorite shows so meeting him I was definitely giddy. He was such a nice guy too and I definitely told him more than a few times how much I love the show :)! 


We capped out the night with drinks with our friends before calling it a night. Sunday was such an absolutely beautiful day outside (almost 80 degrees!!!) so we definitely wanted to be outdoors. We ran to the Tux rental place to get A measured for his tux which was super easy. Then we grabbed some lunch before heading to the airport to say goodbye until next month :(. It was such a quick, but fun little trip with him this time and it'll be his last time to Chicago until the wedding!!


After coming home from the airport, my sissy and I headed for a nice stroll around the park and just enjoyed the heat and sunshine! 


Also can we talk about how amazing the "Coachella" flower crown filter is on Snapchat?! (p.s. follow me at npat62). Love that it also matches my tank perfectly :)! 


Definitely had a blast this weekend and am bummed that Monday is here and another work week is ahead of us. Here's to hoping your coffee is strong and day goes by quickly!

Linking up with B!

  14. I think you pulled off the Coachella filter on SanpChat the best with that sun glow and floral top to match. Sounds like a fun weekend with the guy and I'm sure you loved his company before seeing him for the wedding!
