We spent the day with his family and had a wonderful Polish/American meal. I got to meet more of his extended family. And here is where the funny story happens. I say funny, because I can laugh at just about anything.
We had just sat down at a table for 10, when we ordered a round of drinks at the restaurant. The server set down my Miller Lite, and then she dropped the tray of the remaining 9 drinks on me and my guy. I just cracked up. He was a bit peeved, and I just laughed. I think his family thought I was crazy until I told them about my oldest brothers wedding. He got married on a lake, and we had the reception dinner at a lake front restaurant. The waitress dumped a tray of 17 drinks on my sister in law (still in her wedding dress). So lets just say I figured...a couple of Miller Lites on Thanksgiving is nothing compared to multiple Miller Lites, and 1 Pink Lady on your wedding day!
We spent the rest of the weekend relaxing, watching movies, having a date night, meeting up with friends, family. It was a whirlwind, and a great time. I don't remember a time where I was not stressed, and just enjoyed being home.
I can't wait to go home for Christmas. There is something about Chicago..well anytime, and especially at Christmastime. Plus, I get to snuggle with my new niece again!
How was your holiday?!
glad you were able to come home to chicago!
