Mark and I became Mr. and Mrs. Currie on August 16th, 2008, almost eight years after meeting each other in September, 2000. I was only 14 and Mark had just turned 16. We were extremely young, but we knew pretty early on that we were meant to be together.
I surprised Mark with tickets to Chicago for our 5-year anniversary. Ok, I didn't really surprise him. I had to tell him three weeks in advance so he could schedule a three day weekend away from work. Yes, I said weekend. Mark's employer has recently ignored American's standard 5-day work week. Those bridges are important folks!
Although it was a quick three days, we managed to fit a lot of fun stuff in. Even two naps! Yup. We spent two of our precious hours in Chicago taking naps. Thanks to my cousin Lisa and a couple coworkers for all the really fun recommendations. What an amazing city! And thanks to Pops and Mimi (Jon and Mary) for watching Elliott.
It really is such a fun city. Hopefully it wasn't too hot! Glad you had a good time!
