Life in the Windy City

As previously alluded to, Isaac is living in Chicago for the summer doing a marketing internship for his MBA. I am still in Iowa, working away at the hospital and trying not to get scared at night.

Because even though I know that the area underneath our bed is entirely occupied with boxes, part of me still fears getting under the covers at night.

What if something grabs my ankle as I climb into bed? Someone could be hiding under there all day long, just waiting for me to turn off the lights at bedtime.

The 3 seconds from light switch to mattress are pure terror.

Luckily for my sanity Chicago is close enough to visit fairly frequently, and we've had a wonderful time exploring it together.

Isaac and I standing on Navy Pier. That's Chicago in the background.

There is a glass shelf at the top of the Willis tower that allows you to see all the way down. You can't tell from a photo, but we're quaking in our boots. It's surprisingly scary.

Probably the best part of Chicago. Giordano's stuffed pizza. So. Much. Cheese.

The Bean. A famous but weird...sculpture? Monument? 

The face fountain in Millenium Park. The face on that screen changes occasionally. Kinda weird, but all the water on the ground was very refreshing on a hot day.

Fun as visiting Chicago is, I just want my husband back in the same city as me. Protecting me from whatever is under the bed.
