one of my favorite parts was the fact that you can walk anywhere! anywhere we wanted to go… we walked! *thanks to our handy dandy Iphone, holy hell what in the world did we do before those things!? It was such a great feeling, I wish I lived in a city where I could walk more!

Chicago will always be one of my favorites cities. It was the first city where Brad and I flew away together. the city we spent our 2 year anniversary together. The city where we bonded, walked the streets hand in hand, laughed, and experienced new things!

We sure left our mark on Chicago!

literally ;)

are you done throwing up from my cheesiness now?

Have a  happy and safe 4th of July weekend!!
