dreaming of…
less distance between someone i love.
I did something kinda crazy this weekend. After a super long and busy work week I decided to hop on a VERY last minute red eye flight to Chicago to surprise my best friend Vanessa. It’s been over 9 months since I’ve seen V in person and she just announced a bit ago that she and Dr. T are expecting a little baby girl in August! How freaking exciting is that?!!!
I couldn’t wait even a second longer to get my hands on her baby bump, so I had Adam drive me out to the airport late Friday night to see if I could make a standby flight. After being given a ticket by the gate agent, having my ticket taken back and then being given a ticket again, I took the very very last seat out of Seattle and arrived on Vanessa’s front door step early Saturday morning without her knowing I was coming. It’s the BEST feeling in the world surprising someone you love especially when you get to see the reaction on their face in person and give them a BIG gigantic hug!
We spent all day yesterday and today catching up on life, eating yummy food, watching scary movies and talking all things baby. I even got to help V pick out patterns and fabric for her baby nursery! Let’s just say the last 48 hours have been some of the best EVER! I hope you all had an amazing weekend!

Delightful photo, Jenn! Tells the whole story. What a delightful weekend. Well worth your time, effort and every little penny spent.
what an awesome gift! I love visiting old friends and the surprise makes it all that much better. Sorry you had some travel snafus heading home, I’m sure it was still totally worth it!
