Whirlwind weekend in Chicago!

My best friend from my Bolivia days got married in Chicago on Saturday. I was so very thankful that Victor and I were able to attend - and have an entire weekend without children!
It was really fun reconnecting with other friends from my Bolivia days. Here I am with my friend Debbie Berkman who is married to a Bolivian. It was so much fun to hear BOLIVIAN Spanish again instead of Mexican Spanish. :-) Victor and I had a ton of fun hanging out with Luis and Debbie all weekend. But don't you just HATE it when you have to be photographed beside a skinny person! Take a look at the beautiful tulips instead. Downtown Chicago was covered in tulips.

Debbie, Debbie and Alicia! The fun part about this weekend was all the time I got to spend with the bride! Usually when you go to a wedding you see the bride walk down the aisle and hug her at the reception and get a minute to tell her how beautiful she is. Well, we chatted at the rehearsal dinner, the reception, the "after the wedding party" at a friends house, and at brunch on Sunday morning. It was a great weekend. And, Victor was really with me, he just wasn't important enough to take any pictures of I guess ...

ok was that a typo or freudian slip? I meant "points" not "pints" :-)
