Happy Monday!
I started out my weekend by going out with some of my besties. I still pinch myself that I can go out with them every weekend! So surreal that I'm back in Chicago.
Saturday my brother cooked us all a southern feast. Pork, Ribs, Mac n' Cheese, Slaw.
It. Was. Insane. (I'm dumb and didn't take pictures).
I started off Mother's Day with a walk/run (let's be honest -- running isn't one of my strengths, but I'm trying). The weather was insane, and the lake was stunning. Definitely my favorite part about where I grew up.
This house is for sale (for $3 million - EEK). Can I have it? Pretty please?
We then went out to dinner at RPM - yes, for you reality TV junkies, this is Bill and Giuliana Rancic's new restaurant. I was skeptical because I'd heard mixed reviews, but honestly it was AMAZING. Everything I had was drool-worthy. Especially the dessert.
yes, that is a ball of hazelnut ice cream with chocolate and crush hazelnuts on the outside. And a knife in the middle, ya know, because it was SO big.
And, this weekend marked exactly one year since I graduated. Wow. Time really does go by way too quickly.
Have a good week! xo
