Well, yesterday I started out expressing my love for Ribfest and it turned into a big old love letter to my husband. Oh, the power of the meaty rib; inspiring love around the world.

I got a lot of flack about not posting any pictures of Joshy, well, frankly, I didn't have any. Josh played shutterbug all day while Byron and I hammed it up.

I do have this one picture of Josh from our Friday night date. We were sipping Greek coffees trying to stay up later than ten. I don't think we made it.

We try to have a date once a week, and it is usually on a Friday night. I always feel like going out on a Friday night instead of just melting into the couch makes for a longer weekend.

Lately we've been picking a neighborhood and exploring. Walking around this time of year is lovely, trees are full, and people are spilling out onto patios all over the city. We take the bus or he train somewhere and walk around un til we feel like grabbing a drink and a snack, then me move on. This way we get to try a few different restaurants and make the night last a little longer.

Last week we went up to Lincoln Square, we stopped at a few different restaurants, had drinks with some real characters (One of the perks of living in a big city) and at the end of the night we ran into this little treasure- a fountain overflowing with bubbles!
