While I was in the Chicago area, I also got to meet up with my friend Kitty. Many of you will remember Kitty from my time in Namibia. She was present for that exciting weekend when I burned up my clutch, click here. And she was with me on my very first trip to Cape Town, hereand here. She picked me up from the airport on Thursday and treated me to dinner at this cool stir-fry buffet type place. Then we headed into Chicago for a surprisingly chilly walk around the city. On the way back to her place, I spotted a White Castle and insisted we drive-thru so I could see how they compared to Krystal. :)

On Friday Kitty dropped me off at the train station and I headed to Naperville. I helped with some of the reception set-up, but mostly just enjoyed hanging out with all my buds from New Orleans. We had a great weekend laughing with and at each other, and retelling some of our unforgettable memories from when we all lived in NOLA... most of them still live there. It was such a joy to hangout and be a part of the wedding celebration! Oh... and Adam and Kelsey are heading to Gatlinburg for their honeymoon. :)

Here are some photos from the weekend. You can see more on Facebook...
