Saturday we relaxed as well and went into town and got some last minute stuff and just enjoyed the nice weather. We had a wonderful curry that Nigel made, I wish I could make curry like that, I don't think I would eat out as much if I could! I already miss everyone but luckily we are able to come over again in the winter so not too long of a wait.
Poor Nigel had to drive us to the airport at 5 in the morning but we made it in good time and made it to the flight while they were boarding, perfect timing, no waiting around!
Well we landed safely in Chicago yesterday at around 10:30 in the morning. We had a good flight in the Economy plus section of the airplane. Orignally sam and I didn't have seats together, so when we got to the gate I asked if we could get seats together and she said she would check. Well our original seats were in Economy class but then she moved us to the economy plus where you get 5 extra inches of leg room!!! It was nice though becuase we were the first row after business class so we didn't have any seats in front of us and I could sit on the floor if I wanted!!
When we arrived we got a cab to our friends house where our car was and realized that we didn't really tell them when we were arriving so our car was blocked in. We were going to ride over the lawn to get to the street but they came home just in time. The car was not starting since we had left it for so long but finally roared to a start.
The house had not withered in the heat which was good and I unpacked as sam slept for another 3 hours. I made us a small dinner from the random stuff we had in the house and we went to bed around 7pm and slept until 9am this morning!! When going to the car this morning we had already gotten a lovely 120 dollar parking ticket for not having the new city sticker, I love chicago!!!
I am already annoyed that I have to start school on the 24th of August and start grad school on the 28th but I guess I have no room to complain seeing sam went to work this morning at 10am and most people work year round. I always forget how spoiled I am when I have to come home and actually make myself a meal and clean up after myself. For the last 7 weeks I have only had to cook for myself twice and for all you cooks out there you know how difficult it is to come up with food ideas and am sure you can relate to my shock of now having to go to the store and think of a meal!! Bummer.
When Sam's work settles down a little I will get some more photos on the blog, so don't stop reading even though we are home!
Hope you are all well and talk to you soon
