Wedding. Pitchfork. Weekend.

The weekend was full of crazy adventures for me.
Starting the weekend a wee bit early, last Wednesday night the craziness started with adventures in Nashville for the bachelorette party of the one and only Samantha Walters (now Samantha Veal). Pictures to come soon.

Followed by the rehearsal dinner Friday night in Paducah with tons of lovely friends including my bestie Nicole Casteel! After 5 years of friendship and a lifetime of singing, we finally had the opportunity to sing together- we sang the Flower Duet (the "Lakme" duet) while the bridal party strutted their stuff down the aisle.

Saturday, I had a lovely day in Paducah with 2 dear friends before the wedding. Lunch, shopping, getting a wee bit angry at mean bridal boutique workers, singing, etc.Then wedding time Saturday evening! One of the most beautiful weddings I have been to AND had the opportunity to be a part of!

Following wedding and short appearance at the reception, me and the boy started our journey to Chicago, (yes we drove). Whew. Stayed in a Super 8 on the way and woke up early Sunday morning to finish our journey.

Sunday was the day of music at Union Park in Chicago, IL to see tons of great music, including PAVEMENT. Their first live appearance since 1999 and holy cow was it worth it. GREAT show. This day also included a fantastic lunch at the Billy Goat Tavern in Chicago. Quaint little place with GREAT burgers. :)

Monday was Michigan avenue day. Started the day with some nice caffeinated beverages from Intelligentsia, moved on to lots of wonderful shopping, and ended at Giordanno's Chicago pizza place. SO GOOD.

My crazy weekend ended with my arrival back to my 2 lonely pets (who were graciously watched after by my neighbor all weekend), at 11pm last night. Sleep Sleep Sleep.

Now back to work- only 2 weeks left of the real world and then back to school it is. Seems weird. I enjoy fighting change.

PICTURES OF ALL ADVENTURES TO COME SOON.
