Mike's Birthday and Amanda's Visit

So, we had a very exciting time this last little while. First, my bestest friend of all time, Amanda, came for a visit. The last time we saw each other was in 2005, so needless to say, the vist was well over-due! She got here on Thursday the 23rd and we went to UNO'S for dinner. Our favorite pizza is BBQ Chicken, so they have the best! Our dessert was a GIANT peanut butter cup, also our favorite. It was so good!!


On Friday, we headed down to the city and played down there. The rest of the trip was mostly reminiscing about the good 'ol days and hanging out. She had to leave on Monday, which was also Mike's birthday. We went down early and did another run-around the city. We went over to Wrigleyville and ate Chicago Dogs...they were so good. Then, it was down Michigan Ave. and also China town. I loved having Amanda here. It was so nice to catch-up and have such a great friend around.



The rest of the day was pretty chill. Mike actually took a nap for his birthday... He had a final that morning and was super tired. The best part of his birthday wasn't until the next day. We had tickets to the MARINERS VS WHITE SOX game. Our seats were unbelievable! Row 7 by the Mariners' dugout and on the first base line. We made it there early for the game and Mike got Russell Branyan's autograph! He is the first baseman for Seattle. Mike was so excited. We ate a ton of yummy stadium food and had a blast! The Mariners even won that game.
