Faith's baby shower

It was a good weekend! As I mentioned before, John was in Chicago from Thursday. I had to work until noon on Friday (as per usual), so once I was done we headed down to the city to go on an architectual cruise along the river. It was a cool tour. Lots of information about the buildings and areas in the city, and obviously great views of the buildings. What made it a VERY cool tour was hte fact that there was a Blue Angels air show the next day, and they were practicing during our tour. You would here these very loud plane sounds bouncing off the buildings, which made it hard to tell where they were coming from. John and I had a little game going to see who could spot the planes first when we heard the noises (which I won by a landslide, by the way ;-) ).

After the cruise we went to Reena's. We hung out for a while at her place catching up. We also went up to her rooftop to take in the view. It was a rainy day so the view was distorted by clouds, but you could see what a wonderful view it would be during the day. In the evening we went to that really great sushi restaurant I mentioned before. It was SO good. Reena brought a couple of really good bottles of wine. Great company, great food, great wine. Can't top that very easily! Afterwards we went to a dessert place and had a caramelized banana dessert thing. Also very good. Reena was pretty drunk by this point, which was quite funny. She nearly fell off the back of her barstool at the dessert place. Of course, this is Reena we're talking about. She is known for her very slight clumsy streak, so it might not have been the wine's fault. ;-)

The next day was Faith's baby shower. It was a lovely shower. She had a great turn out, although it seemed that several people were connected to Jeremy who she hadn't met before. That just adds some spice to the day! But she looks great. Really cute with her belly. We also got some time to catch up, and it was great to talk to her family as I hadn't seen them for a while. Oh yeah and I won a game! And they had OPI nailpolish for everyone as a party favor, and they all had cute names that they had put on the bottles like 'Avery Happy Baby'. I had thrown out all my nailpolish in the move so I was very excited about that!

After the shower we drove home. We made good time and managed to get back by around 9:30. On Sunday we started to tackle our 'stuff'. We made pretty good progress but there was still loads to do that we couldn't get to. In the evening we went to the Colts' preseason game. It was great to be at a football game again, especially since we didn't get to go to any last season, but unfortunately they lost. It's just preseason though. I'm hopeful that its our year finally!
