This is me, at 4:30am. Waiting for Nathans dad to come pick us up.
Our flight was Southwest and it was to be leaving at 6:05am. We wanted to get there in time to have a good seat because SW is a cattle call. All in all...


... I think i got a pretty good seat, right?

Soooo, here i am, 35,000ft in the air, looking down at some state. Might still be Tennessee but we're going 600mph in the sky. We did hit turbulence and I kind of freaked out, i was holding Nathan's drink and as soon as he sat back down, we hit clouds. A LOT of freaking clouds. So i was holding his drink and everything was moving but the drink. Other than that the first time flying was a nice.





we got off the plane, walked half a mile, bought CTA tickets for 3-days, got on a train, walked forever and made our way to the hotel.

I'm in love with Chicago and all it has to offer. I already miss the sounds and smells, most of it. I miss the Navy Pier and the Sears tower with the amazing view. I want to explore the light house out in Lake Michigan and have more Chicago Deep Dish Pizza!

I have so many picture's to share but it want compare to being there, looking up and seeing the structure of the building's. I'm going back, noooo doubt about it. I even played with the idea of living there in the next 5yrs. We shall see. Here are a few more pictures to look about. :)

Chicago has my heart forever.

don't mess with Texas

my experience with Texas was short but sweet. the drive was long& tiring but worth each second, minute, hour,& miles. i went to Memphis for the first time, along with going kind of out west. stood in between two state lines. watched two lovely couples get married, met nathan's family friends. went to Texas as a brunette& came out a red head.

i had a blast. i really want to talk about the trip& how many gas stations we visited& how i had my first taste of Whataburger and Bueno. yet, i'm tired. i have 35 hours till i board my first flight& head to Chicago.

Athens, Texas was amazing. it was a blast.

my mother took me shopping for my birthday a few days ago( not till june 9th). so i guess i better take pictures of me in them before i leave for my trip or maybe, i'll wait& take pictures of where i've been. that will be awesome.

Nathan's parents went to this really cool place called Scarlett Begonia in Franklin. i believe there is one in Nashville as well. they gave me a gift in a brown box with a red ribbon& in side was this amazing chale shawl and a big blue woven bag with a wide strap. i love them so so so much, both gift& Nathan's parents. :) the shawl reminds me of a sun set. i already of my purse contents in the bag. the bag is lined with orange& has a zipper at the opening.

i've been thinking on what book to take with me on the trips, i want to finish my literature and society book on poetry, drama& novels but then again i might read The Bell Jar again or see if Sabrina has any interesting books. i was i purchased Love, Janis by Laura Joplin or Henry Miller's Sexus. oh well, too late now.

i came real close to buying bleach at work today. very very close. but i put it back because i have no idea how i want to color my hair. i know i want sections done but i don't know how. do i want my bangs colored or do i want my front section of my long hair done. i made up my mind that it's either color my hair or cut it. the last time i did a dramatic hair cut on my hair was june or july of 06. it was short& felt amazing but i feel like i can't pull of short hair any more due to the fact my face is fuller. anyway. i know i need something done so i want pull out my styling scissors.

fly over everyone

well watching the 35 or 36 disc of gilmore girls, rory goes to anna's boutique of one of a kinds. rory finds this amazing white pan am bag that cute flight atendents used to tot their things in. anyway, i looked it up& they are kind of pricy but i figured if ya really want it why not show ya.

i love bag's anyway, vintage bags anyway. when i worked at sugaree's when i was 17 i bought these amazing vintage dark yellow suit cases, well i bought one. the other has water damage on the inside, i never finished the water damage one with the fabric i want but i put my old music flyers i've collected over the years in side of it.

i'm going to be using the carry on luggage, maybe, if it's the right size. or a back pack. 10 more days till chicago, il. 5 more days till athens texas& 3 more days till i'm 22.
