Visits from IL

Last week we had two sets of friends from Illinois drove all the way to Phoenix. It is rare when people will visit from IL, let alone two separate sets during one week.

Our friends, Kent and Alesia, arrived last Tuesday and stayed with us until Saturday. It was so much fun to see them. They enjoyed our lovely Arizona weather and were able to check out several different hiking spots throughout the Valley. On Saturday we went to the Chicago Cubs v White Sox spring training baseball game. It was so much fun! I've always wanted to go to a Cubs game but never did while Eric and I lived in Chicago. This game was even more fun because of the rivalry with the Sox. It was like our own little bit of Chicago here in Phoenix. We thoroughly enjoyed their visit and can't wait to see them again.

My former coworker, Michelle, from good ol Laurel Volvo/Jaguar also came to visit with her fiance, DJ. It was so great to catch up with an old friend! We were able to chat over a late lunch on Thursday and had the greatest time. It makes me really miss my Chicago friends.
