Weekend Recap

This Friday I left work at noon in an attempt to start the weekend early. The weather in Chicago was a little  iffy, so after making some awesome sandwiches from Fox and Obel goodies, we decided to go bowling. We are both pretty awful at bowling, but it's always a fun time. We decided that the loser of our games would clean the apartment this weekend - the final score was based on total points over both games.

Lara - 180
YT - 176
Sorry yt... maybe next time. 

After bowling we decided to rent bikes. We rode for about 2 hours on the Chicago lake path. I'm not a huge biker due to some past experiences that have left a bit of a scar. I will say that I hit nothing, nothing hit me and I even completed a full 10 seconds with no hands (such a dare devil). Despite a few rain showers and somehow losing our apartment key along the way, it was a successful trip!

Saturday yt went to the hospital to do a little work. After a long run on the lake, I treated myself to an iced coffee and chocolate chip scone from Goddess and Grocer for breakfast and picked up a few treats from J.Crew, American Apparel and Crate and Barrel. Saturday night I cooked a big pot of chili with skillet cornbread (both recipes coming tomorrow) & cheered on my Michigan Wolverines. Honestly one of the best football games I've ever seen.

I started the day Sunday with a nice big latte and a manicure (Essie Potato Fields... oddest name but a nice light neutral color). The afternoon was spent with Tim - as we FINALLY took our engagement photos! I don't have any photos to put on the blog yet but I can't wait to share them in a few weeks! After a few hours of posing, we were exhausted. We finished the weekend with a nice relaxing dinner at Davanti Enoteca with lots of cheese, bread, meat and wine. 

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend too. How did you spend it?
