This may be my favorite new month

May I share with you how amazing the past 9 days have been for me through pictures...

B hooked me up with great seats to the Chicago Cubs v. Cincinnati Reds game at Wrigley Field.

Sadly, the Cubs didn't take the W but thankfully the weather was amazing and I got to spend my Sunday with some of my favs.

It's incredible how alive this city becomes once the weather is  more tolerable enjoyable. In an attempt to brighten my day and embrace spring/summer,  I decided to paint my nails coral. I'm in love with this color and have a feeling it may be hot and trendy this summer. 
My colleague Joe hooked me up with tickets to The Book of Mormon.  The acting and singing was impressive, but the overall story line definitely pushed some boundaries. I guess that's what you can expect from a production by the creators of South Park? Check out the reviews here

I've stayed true to my new year resolution to improve my health. However, I've recently ditched the gym and started to run outside, by the lake.  I joined the club of folks who aren't a fan of running on the treadmill because the the invigorating feeling of being one with nature is unreal.  

I finally got to eat dinner at Big Star in Wicker Park. Just an FYI, be prepared to wait a long time to be seated and make sure to bring cash. My friends and I had mix reviews about the food (I personally LOVED it) but the ambiance is definitely "a place to be seen" in the city.

It's only been 9 days and I've already decided that this may be my favorite month this year because of the amount of time I've spent outside, appreciating the city with everyone that came out of hibernation from winter.  The best part is that there is more fun on deck for me. For instance, make sure to check out my blog in a few days because I am going to Jillian Michel's tour tomorrow evening and our friends are celebrating B and SM's birthday on Saturday!
