Family Reunion Recap

Spent last weekend in Chicago with a few (I mean like 20+) friends to do our usual thing.

I would like to thank the city of Chicago for having such wonderful weather for our visit. I've been in the Bay for little over a month and have already become weak to cold weather. So I was fretting right up until the moment I walked outside of Midway Airport. The way I was going on, one would have thought I was going to Antarctica with only a sweater. To my utter joy: breezes, mild cold, and very sunny, fantastic.

And I must rephrase my first statement: "I went to Chicago last weekend with a few (I mean like 20+) family members to do our usual thing." If one ever needed a visual definition of friendship, watch us. I'm so ridiculously happy after spending time with these individuals. I've known most of them for roughly a year or so... but it feels like I've known them forever. The openess with words, hugs, and gratuitous food and drink is something I didn't understand or even know I needed till it all happened.

My only gripe for the weekend - the smoking... ugh. In the words of my friend, "It's so naaaast..." Chicago, please do all of us a favor and get rid of the smoking in public places. Aside from the unhealthiness, etc... it smells so bad. Ugh.

So, in summation - lots of laughs, fair amounts of alcohol, money on cabs, FOOD, Nintendo Wii, and QT with my BFFs.

Good times ya'll, we should do it again soon.
