On Thursday, I was invited by my friend Kristin and two other ladies to go see "Tall Ships" at Navy Pier in Chicago. I have to say I had never heard of it and wasn't for sure what to expect. After taking the Metra and a cab, we made it to our destination, and I was in awe. The ships were amazing! We were able to actually board the 11 out of 21 ships that were on display. I really didn't think it would be that interesting, but I was totally wrong! I had a great time, and the weather was BEAUTIFUL! However, I didn't put enough SPF moisturizer on, so I did get a red ring around my neck. I'm crossing my fingers that it will go away before next Saturday!
Here are some pictures of our day. I have 65 in all, so it w
as really hard to pick the best ones. If you want to see them all, go to my facebook and look at the album "Tall Ships!"

The Only Ship I'll be able to afford!
There were Pirates!
These were out on the Lake
I love the Ships with the City in the background!
Another shot of the Bounty!
I'm really happy I was able to get away from all the wedding plans and enjoy a day in Chicago!
So I guess I should talk about how everything for the wedding is going. Well...I think everything is pretty well set. I still can't believe how fast the time has gone by. It's a week away, and I feel as though this week will be the longest week of my life, yet in reality, it will most likely go by the fastest. I still don't know if I'm quite ready. EW says he's not nervous at all, of course he's so laid back that not much makes him nervous.
All I can think about is what could go wrong. I know I should not be focusing on that, but that's me. I'm actually not as stressed out as I thought I would be, but by Thursday...that might not be the case. People say to just enjoy it, but I don't think that will be possible with me. I won't be able to enjoy myself unless everyone else is enjoying themselves, and everything is running smoothly. I am also nervous about all of the family getting together, but that's just life, and if I've learned anything about families, you really just have to go with the flow in mine!
As for my next update: I'm not sure If I'll get one in before the wedding. If I don't, the next one will definitely have wedding pictures!

The weather looks great so that's one less worry. Try to take snapshots in your head during the wedding so you'll remember things. I remember sitting on the curb outside a dunkin donut eating donuts the morning of my wedding. Try to pick something nicer. Can't wait! Love, your favorite MIL
