Birthday/Anniversary...Two weeks later

The last weekend in September Matt and I celebrated my Birthday (31) and our 1st Anniversary! We decided to spend our special weekend in Chicago. Matt had to be at a training for work in Wisconsin the week before, so we decided that we would meet in Chicago for the weekend, since he was already so close.

We had a lot of fun. I had never been there before and Matt went to school near Chicago, so he enjoyed seeing some of the places he visited while at school, and I loved seeing everything for the first time! On Saturday (my birthday) we toured around the city, we visited the Art Institute, did some window shopping, and spent the evening at a White Sox game (so fun!). On Sunday (our anniversary) we went up to Wheaton (where Matt went to school) for church, and visited with some friends that were in the area. That evening we went back into the city for our anniversary dinner. I had never been to "The Melting Pot", and had been wanting to try it out for many years now, so we did a little fondue dinner there. Well, I shouldn't say "little" dinner. It was definitely a lot of food. It was so good though, and a fun experience!
