For the weekend of my 19th birthday, my boyfriend Ryan flew all the way out from Santa Clara, CA to visit me. He arrived super early Saturday morning and our adventure started. He got to see all of Loyola, get some breakfast, and take a quick power nap. We then headed to downtown for his first visit to Chicago. We visited the bean, picked up some Garrett's popcorn, shopped around on State street, had delicious pizza and attempt to visit Willis/Sears Tower (we decided we'd try when it wasn't a hour wait!)
Later that evening we headed to Evanston for dinner and to walk around.

On my actual birthday we went and picked up some yummy food from Whole Foods, grabbed breakfast, and headed back to school. Ryan got me a wonderful bouquet at Whole Foods... it looks great in the room! We video chatted with the family as I opened my presents and met up with my roommate and her boyfriend. We headed back to Evanston from some noodles for lunch, and a beautiful walk along the Lake.
I had a great Birthday, even though it was my first one away from the family... I'm so glad Ryan was able to come and surprise me too :) And I can't wait to come back home in only 11 days and get to see everyone!
