traveling again...

I am on the run again.  I do not have another full weekend in Illinois because I/we have plans to the next three weekends and then we move!

Last weekend, we went on our anniversary trip to Wisconsin for white water rafting.  It was really fun and so relaxing.  I bought the deal from LivingSocial for Ryan as his anniversary present, so the whole trip was taken care of.  We just drove to downtown Chicago and hopped on a bus that took us (and 90 other people on the trip) to the Smokey Falls in Wausau.  We stopped at a farm and made butter and ice cream and got lunch.  Then, we had free time, which Ryan and I used to go hiking.  Then we had some beer samples at a local pub and got dinner. The next morning, we hopped back on the bus to take us rafting.  The falls we fun, but few and far between so there was a lot of paddling and our teamwork skills we tested! We did fine and got sunburned while getting some exercise!!!!  Then, we had a cookout and got back on the bus to Chicago! We met 3 other couples from the city and had a blast with them.

This weekend, I am going back to Michigan to meet up with friends from college.  I cannnnnnot wait because I have been having a little anxiety about moving and being so much further away.  Ryan cannot come because he is in a training week that he cannot miss, but he traveled enough without me this year already!

We have been packing, hanging out, and enjoying a lot of time together.  Almost all of Ryan's friends from work have already moved to their new placements so we are in Naperville alone.  I am almost done with work and just trying to find a job in VA.  Until then, we are trying to knock off some things on our "To Do Before Leaving the City" list!
