Robert came to Chicago for business. While he was here we got to hang out. It was great to see him especially since it has been so long. While he was here we went to dinner at Silver Cloud (a neighborhood spot) where he "conveniently" forgot his wallet in the hotel. The restaurant was really good then we came back to our condo and caught up. The next day we went to Chili's of all places to watch the Cowboys beat the Redskins.
During the week Robert and I met at a restaurant called The Walnut Room. It is on the 7th floor of a 9 floor Macy's Department Store. It is known for its huge Christmas tree and Christmas decorations. The Walnut Room has some excellent Chicken Pot Pie. We can't wait for Robert to come back in December. Maybe next time it will do a little more than snow flurries :)

Designer Purses

Brandy came to visit two weekends ago and we went to an outlet mall in Aurora, IL. We had a great time shopping and found some great buys. My favorites were my first ever designer purses. I should have just bought one, but once I had one in my hands I couldn't stop and ended up with 4!! They had a Dooney and Bourke Outlet. When Brandy and I walked in they gave us a scratch off and when I scratched it off I had a 40% off of a new item coupon. So, I got a purse from the summer and a new purse. At Coach Outlet we had to wait outside like we were waiting to go to a club. They had the red rope and everything. It was snowing/sleeting and we stood out there waiting our turn. I found the cutest Coach purse It was so crazy in there. Then we went to Kate Spade and I fell in love with this little clutch. That was my crazy purse weekend. The rest of the weekend with Brandy was great, but it was so nice to have someone to go shopping with. I really miss that!

BRRRRRRRR!

Well, winter seems to be almost here. We are now getting dark around 4:30 pm and it continues to get earlier and earlier. I feel like we live in a cave because we never get to see daylight. It is barely light out when I go to work and it is already dark by the time I leave. I didn't sign up for this! Also, we have had snow twice ALREADY. When do we get to move back to TX?? The scary thing is it is only the beginning of November! My advice is to never move North. We have spent so much money on winter clothes because you have to have two sets. One for when it is like winter in Dallas and one for when you think you are going to die from the -20 wind chill! Thankfully we haven't hit that yet but everyone keeps telling us it is around the corner. Sorry for the rambling, but I had to vent!
