Family, Friends and more Family!
Josh's mom and step dad came to visit last Wednesday night and they stayed with us until Sunday. We had a wonderful time.... I hated to see them go. Josh and I both had to work Thursday so they entertained themselves and I had to work Friday but Josh and Cliff played golf all day. I had arranged for Isla and I to pick up Phyllis for a lunch date. Everything was going great... she had taken her morning nap and was in a rather pleasant mood until she saw Phyllis. She started screaming and crying b/c I think she thought I was going to leave her with a stranger and after a few more episodes in the restaurant, she finally warmed up to the new face and we were able to enjoy our lunch together. I did some shopping with Cliff and Phyllis while Josh worked on Saturday and we ate and ate and ate. Oh, by the way, did I mention that we ate??????? Too much, I need to go on an extreme diet and exercise routine after this past weekend.
After sending Cliff and Phyllis off, we came home and turned the guest bedroom over with clean sheets and pillowcases and headed to the city to pick up Rebecca and Jeremy. We met their friends, Ian and Natalie, who have an awesome apartment in a great location downtown. We had dinner at an Italian restaurant called Skoozie's and it was fantastic! I will definitely go back if given the opportunity. Josh may not ever return... When he checked his bank account online the following day, he noticed that he had been charged double the ticket amount! It didn't put us in a bind or anything b/c he had plenty of money in the account but we thought they somehow charged us for Natalie and Ian's dinner as well b/c we just split the bill that night 3 ways and Ian and Josh both have Chase credit cards that look exactly alike. After a little researching, however, he discovered that our waitress rang up his card the incorrect way and it was actually holding double the ticket amount b/c his card was a debit card. CRAZY!!!!!! It all evened out today though so now I might be able to convince him to go back.
We took Rebecca and Jeremy to see the Naperville Last Fling Labor Day Parade. I was VERY disappointed. I was expecting to see floats and costumes and it was pretty much a political rally. We finally gave up on it and left to do a little shopping, walk along the riverwalk and eat lunch! All too soon, it was time for them to leave as well and our apartment seems lonely once again.
Heather will be flying in this Friday night for a short visit. She's only staying through Sunday and then Josh and I head to MEXICO!!!!! We'll be there for 6 days! It looks like paradise so I'm hoping it feels like paradise as well!
Have a great week!
