I love Chicago. i had so much fun there. The Art Institute of Chicago was awesome, the John Hancock center was awesome, Michigan Ave. was awesome. I really did like it a lot. I can't wait to go back when it's not -4 degrees. Which btw, if you weren't sure is really freaking cold.

So my birthday is in 3 days. I love my birthday. I think it is so much fun. i don't know why, I'm really too old to actually like my birthday, but I do. I love the cards and the presents and the attention. I guess you could say I am an attention monger. :) Not on any other day, but on my birthday, yes I am. Anyway, I'm excited. It makes me feel young to be excited about my birthday.

I'm going to Turkey in March, it's official and I'm not sure what I was thinking bcs I hate flying and really don't want to go without my family. I'm going with a group of teachers from my school and it will be fun, but I'm nervous. I know I will have a good time once i get there, I will be miserable until then.

Finally, my favorite news, i just found out my sister is pregnant. WAHOO. I love being an aunt. I have a  year old nephew and I'm completely in love with him, so that there will be another is the best news I've had in a long time.
