Valentine's Day

John and I had a great Valentine's Day. He gave me some beautiful pink roses. They are dying today though, and that makes me sad. I got him a photo book. What I mean by photo book is on kodakgallery you can choose the pictures and write captions for them and they will put them in an actual book like a scrapbooked page. I made the book with pictures of us from our last 3.5 years of marriage. It was SO cool and John LOVED it. Then we went out to dinner at this place named Feast. It is in our neighborhood and I have heard great things.
Like I said before we had a GREAT Valentine's Day, but the day after was AWFUL!! That is because I got food poisoning!!! I have never had it before and plan on never having it again!! I was MISERABLE for days. Thankfully my company allows me to work from home, which I did for the majority of the week. I ate my first meal on Thursday night and I seem to have made a good recovery.
Anyway, the food at Feast was great, but I don't recommend going b/c the aftertaste is not so good!!

The nicest day yet

John and Millennium Park
Millennium Park
Ice Skating rink at Millennium Park
The Bean

We had a break from the cold. It was 50 degree yesterday. As you can see in my pictures that most of the snow melted. It isn't going to last for long, but John and I made sure to take advantage of it. John hadn't been to Millennium Park or to see "The Bean" so I took him. We had a wonderful day. We just walked around soaking up the sun. It was great! I can't wait for summer!
Also, there is an outdoor ice skating rink at Millennium Park. It was too crowded for us to skate (since we are SO bad), but I hope to go back and do it sometime.

Luke Bryan and Wade Bowen

John and I at the concert.

John and I went to see Wade Bowen open up for Luke Bryan last Friday. We didn't know many of Luke Bryan's songs, but the concert was SOLD OUT. In Chicago that NEVER happens. We even went to see Craig Morgan last summer and it didn't sell out.
Anyway this is at our TINY neighborhood country bar. It was SO crowded! You couldn't even go to the bathroom without pushing everyone out of the way. Half way through I got a little anxiety attack where I got light headed because there was so many people around. All in all it was a great concert.
The best thing about concerts at Joe's Bar is that the singers always interact with the audience. There was a really tall guy there with a white board. As you see above Wade Bowen got it and wrote on it. Luke Bryan did the same thing.
At the end Luke Bryan's half of the show he told us we were going to tape a music video! We were like WHAT??? It is a song that hasn't come out yet. The name of it is "It's time to take my drunk ass home"!! He taught us the chorus and then we sang it 3 times just to make sure we got enough footage for the music video. At one point I'm singing along and John picks me up and moves me to the right. I whip around to find out what is going on and there is a camera standing right next to me. I can tell you one thing, my ARM will definetly be in that music video. I was waving it right in front of the camera. So anyone who has CMT needs to look for that music video and let us know (since we don't have cable). So we happened to be at the right place at the right time for once!!
