The biggest difference between our time in Kentucky and our time so far in Chicago is the multitude of things to do! Kentucky has a sense of peace and relaxation to it, but Chicago is all busy, with thousands of restaurants and activities that are changing every day. It could be 3:00pm or 1:00am....the streets are always busy and full of people. Last night, we got to go out with two great friends, Joe and George, who were visiting from Cincinnati. We ate at the Bridge House Tavern right on the river with perfect weather and great food. As everyone always says, there is nothing like this city in the summer.
After that, we went to a pub (Goose Island to satisfy Matt's need for good beer --and who has great rootbeer floats! :) ) --which was fun, but definitely interesting. The atmosphere of the whole block took me right back to college, which is great, but kind of awkward while pregnant. I got the up and down look from the bartenders....the look that says "I dare you to try and order a drink" and funky looks from all of the drunk partiers for being in a bar. Part of me wants to hold up a sign to defend myself that says "DON'T WORRY I am not drinking, I am just out with friends having fun."
In short, life is changing. In 3 months, my life will be completely different...more so than it already has changed by being pregnant, moving, and changing jobs. I so look forward to it, and look back fondly at my college days.
