Week 36

Week 36 we went to the cultivate festival in Lincoln Park, sponsored by Chipolte.  They had chef  demonstrations, live music, and booths talking about sustainable food.  The food was great and we walked away with 3 free burritos!

Week 35

Week 35 I pretty much became wife of the year.  Josh and his buddy Michael love beers from Three Floyds Brewery and we are lucky enough to live about an hour from the brewery.  So on one Saturday we packed up the car and headed to Munster, IN.  We took a tour of the Brewery (Dad, you should be happy to know they make everyone wear safety glasses), had an amazing lunch and the boys filled the trunk with souvenirs.

Week 34

Week 34 I had a business meeting in NY so it was a great excuse to spend the weekend with Alie and some great friends.  We did a lot of new things while we were there and we laughed SO MUCH, I my abs got a workout from laughing so hard.

We took at walk on the High Line

We went to our first Yankees Game

We took the ferry to Brooklyn and went to the Brooklyn Brewery.

We walked the Williamsburg Bridge

And had an amazing dinner at Momofuku Noodle Bar with some great friends.  If you are in NY you MUST go to Momofuku, I have been dreaming about their chilled spicy noodles since we left.  It was so great to see Stacey and Mark, and we did a lot more laughing.

Week 33

Week 33 we continued Jenn's birthday celebration at Piccolo Sogno Due, Piccolo Sogno is probably one of our favorite restaurants in Chicago, so we were super excited to try their new restaurant.  Obviously the food was amazing and we had a great night with good friends.

Josh also got to see his first show at Northerly Island, Northerly Island is an amazing music venue right on the lake. We saw Gotye, and it was a great night at a beautiful venue.

Week 32

For week 32 we were lucky enough to spend the week in Michigan with our Zimmer family.  We rented the cutest house about an hour and a half outside of Chicago.  We swam in the pool every day, made a fire and roasted marshmallows every night.  We went blueberry picking, buried Josh in the sand at the beach, road go carts and bumper boats, went wine tasting and celebrated Jenn's birthday.  It was a super fun week, we love our Zimmer family so much!

Week 31

We were originally supposed to go to Six Flags for our friend Kevin's birthday (he's 35, not 5), but those plans fell through.   Since we already bought our tickets we decided to head up there one Saturday.  Since I had not been on a roller coaster since I was a kid, I was pretty sure I was going to barf on the first roller coaster.  I was super nervous, but halfway into the first roller coaster I was loving it.  We had a great day and Josh even won a skateboard at the ring toss.

Week 30

Josh and I do a ton of walking, but we have been trying to find another form of exercise that we both enjoy that doesn't involve going to a gym.  So on week 30 we tried yoga, unfortunately I didn't document it with any pictures.  We only did 15 mins, and we giggled through most of it but it was fun and possibly we'll do it again some day.  

We did document a delicious dinner that Josh made one night when I had to work late.  It was a BBQ chicken sandwich with homemade coleslaw.  It was Josh's first time making coleslaw and it was amazing!  Can't wait for him to make it again.
