Monday. Yes, I know that was yesterday, but I didn’t have it in me to get a post ready to go. Some Mondays are relatively painless, while others just kick. my. butt. And that was yesterday. It didn’t help that we had a super-fantastic weekend!
As of Friday, the patio was 95% complete. And as of Monday night, it was done! You know a big photo dump is around the corner ;)
Which was perfect timing because we had friends visiting from St. Louis. The patio got a workout with dinner at the table, chatting around our firepit, and enjoying coffee Sunday morning.

Plus, the Cubs were playing the Cardinals, so we took a field trip to Wrigley Field. It was my first time at a Cubs game and now I can see why people are such Cubs fans. We may have sat 3 rows from the top, but it felt much closer. And I think Wrigley is pretty “cute” with all of its historic charm. Though I didn’t get the full experience because I passed on the Old Style.
I could continue on about what exactly we did and where we ate and whatnot, but my biggest takeaway from the weekend was how much fun I had spending time with friends. Which got me to thinking that I really need to work on keeping in touch with friends from home and college. Sure, I can see what’s going on via Facebook, but it’s not the same as a phone call or in-person chat.
How do you keep up with friends spread about the country or even the world?
