Day 139

I always feel so tiny looking up.

What I love: That I have learned a lot being here.  Also, notice that this building has pretty old architecture while the building next to it is pretty modern.  Chicago is just like that.

Day 138

Not my favorite, but it'll do for today.

What I love: When LS makes milkshakes and good times with friends on a Sunday.  Also, bike rides through the city.

Day 137

Sometimes husbands join in the painting session and show you up.

What I love: I have tried so many new things since being here.  We went out for Pho with some friends and it was DELICIOUS!  I'm loving Vietnamese food and going new places in the city.  Also, I love that the husband sat down and painted with me.  He's talented in so many ways and I love him. You may now proceed to barf at our cuteness.

Day 136

Some days you just do homework and you need a creative outlet.

What I love: Have I mentioned how much I'm loving green right now and the color blue? Because Chicago's gray skies are looking brighter every day!

Day 135

Last day of work for a friend so we went out to eat.

Not my best painting, but it's a painting.

What I love: The quaint little pizza buffet I went to today.  I normally hate buffets, but this one was just salad, 4 different kinds of pizza, spaghetti, and macaroni and cheese.  It was nice.  Most of all though, I got to hang out with the other long-term sub in the building on her last day of work.  Man, I'm going to miss her!

Day 134

Oh this picture makes me happy.

What I love: I had lost all hope that spring would come and then all of a sudden there are leaves on trees and it's still kind of cool, but I went outside without a jacket on today and I feel tike that's progress.

Day 133

I've always loved this balcony...I may have made some modifications...

What I love: Warm spring nights with homemade paninis and long walks in the evening around the neighborhood.
