It has been one heck of a week! First a trip is on, then its off, then its back on again! Should I pack or not? Oh yeah...thats why I leave it for the last minute! So, in all, I am currently going to be spending then next few days in Chicago!! Yippie! I will return with some amazing pics to share with all thoes I adore most!
Before I leave I would like to have something for my viewers to rest their eyes on. I have been getting a lot of old pictures off of my (slowly) dying computer and on to a mass storage divice. I just found a few that I enjoy and have lots of memories tied to them. I hope that you enjoy them as well!
