A Race to the Finish


What a wonderful weekend! Michael and I enjoyed the near 80 degree weather in Evanston - my old grad school stomping grounds. It was a perfect way to get away and spend some time together. We took a walk on Northwestern's lake shore campus, enjoyed outdoor lunch/drinks/dinner, had great people watching and good conversation. Thanks to my parents for the fantastic lodging, at Hotel Orrington, as well!

After coming home we found that we have moved up on the "list" as well. We are now number 16! A while back Michael and I had made statements as to what/where on the list we would celebrate. I had made my milestone marker a while back - which was not needing to scroll down to see our names. However, Michael's significant moment was going to be when we reached 17 - his favorite number. Since we moved up two places while we were gone, we went straight from 18 to 16. He missed his milestone. Oh well, guess the next point of celebration will have to when we get to the top and get that call :)
