Goodbye Chicago....Hello 24!

Sorry for the mass amount of pictures...but it's been a while since I've updated!
I've moved back home from Chicago and I start grad school in January!
Yes, I will miss Chicago...but I am enjoying being back in Michigan!

Celebration of Lights Parade
Mickey Mouse lighting up downtown!
Kind of blurry, but one of my favorite events of the weekend!


All loaded up and ready to head back to Michigan! My mom was nice and brave enough to drive the diesel all the way down to Chicago, through the narrow streets of Lincoln Park and up and down the busy streets of downtown just to move me home, thanks mom!

Birthday Bowling Extravaganza downtown at 10Pin



My shoes looked great with my skinny leg jeans :)


My daily walk to the bus stop. I'll miss this!


View of my neighborhood from the top of the Hancock Tower
See the little pond (named the North Pond) to the left of the harbor? I lived just a few blocks west of there!

The big green area between the line of buildings and the lake is Lincoln Park (yes, my neighborhood was also named Lincoln Park). I lived right on the western edge of the park. I will definitely miss living so close to the park and the beach!

Glimpse of my neighborhood, I lived around the corner from Mickey's
Bars/Restaurants/Coffee Shops on the street level...apartments on top!
