My friend Michelle is celebrating a milestone birthday this year. She turned 40 and wanted nothing more than a weekend in Chicago with her girlfriends, shopping and seeing "Wicked."
We are finally making it happen! We leave this morning for the Windy City (one of my 5 favorite cities in the world!). We'll spend much of the day shopping and sightseeing. Then Sunday we go to see "Wicked." It's Michelle's favorite musical. She picked the book for one of our bookclub picks and even made each of us CDs of the soundtrack. So we're all super excited about the trip!
I have to say, I'm so grateful to Craig for allowing and encouraging me to spend so much time with my girlfriends. I truly have an awesome husband! I have bookclub once a month, plus I get together with some of the girls from my old job at the tv station to watch "Grey's Anatomy" at least once a month if not more. I'm telling you this girl-time is what keeps me sane and I'm so lucky to have a husband who is cool with some solo Daddy time. Hopefully things will calm down on the activity front and we'll be able to do another date night soon!

I'm really, REALLY trying not be jealous. It's not really working.
I spent 5 hours in Chicago on Thursday. In the damn AIRPORT. Now, if I could have seen Wicked during my layover?? We'll I'd have a better opinion about Chicago.

Have fun! I love Chicago. And yes, you are lucky to have a husband who lets you have your girl time. I completely understand. It's extremely important. :)

I'm late with this comment since I was on a girls' weekend myself, but I'm sure you enjoyed Wicked! I would love to visit Chicago again, too.
You will LOVE Wicked! I saw it in NY..it was an anniversary gift from Hubby.
And you have an awesome man that allows you to have you time and encourages it.
