Trip to Chicago

I went to Chicago December 2-7 to visit my friend Aidan. It was an amazing trip. I had so much fun and fell in love with the city. I couldn't understand before why anyone would live somewhere so big and so cold. I get it now. It's so beautiful and the architecture is amazing and there are so many different types of people everywhere. Plus I had so much fun hanging out with Aidan. We went dancing at Madonna-rama (a night where the club plays only Madonna music) and other clubs, to some cute diners and a BYOB thai restaurant, shopping in hipsterville (Wicker Park), a night of bartop burlesque...


...to the lake
...to Walgreens where we tried on many silly Christmas hats

For Aidan's birthday, we got haircuts and pedicures...
I met some really great people too. This is Aidan and his roommate, Claire:
This is Aidan's friend Selena, Aidan, and me at a club called Roscoe's on Aidan's birthday:

I can't wait to go back to Chicago.

Thanksgiving in Ft. Collins

Went to Ft. Collins with my parents for Thanksgiving to visit my sister Nikki and her family. Ate good food, shopped, played some basketball...


And checked out two breweries with Nikki and Dad: Coopersmiths and New Belgium...
