Chicago Scheming

So, here we are, just a mere few days from Chicago and the freezing cold and I think that due to my work/our departure schedule I have to essentially be packed tomorrow night. The crummy part about that is that even after packing, I will have two days of work to go before my vacation begins. Lauren, on the other hand, is officially on vacation as of six forty five this evening. Life just ain't fair sometimes. I'm excited for the sightseeing, and deep-dish pizza, so these next few days are going to be very long days for me.
While on vacation I will have my phone, where I learned how to post photos and small blog entries and will able to post stuff right away, as well as posting more substantial entries later, either in the trip or upon our arrival home.
They have raised the temperature on our arrival day, from 2 degrees all the way up to 14 degrees. I suppose hoping for another jump, from 14 up to like, 65, would be too much to hope for? Since we are basically just walking or using public transportation I am just hoping that it won't be snowing.
Suffice it to say that I am excited for the trip, even though I essentially have everything planned out, I feel like I need to keep planning and finding more options, but I think that in reality it would just gum up the works at this point.
Hopefully the next time I post here I will be en route to the Windy City!
