Today Malori and I are headed for Chicago. This afternoon and evening we will spend the day at the Merchandise Mart. The living and giving expo is on this week. It is a great place to check out new merchandise for the store. Then Sunday we have tickets to a Bridal Show. We get to see a fashion show of gowns and the check out vendors for all kinds of wedding stuff. Invitations, reception hall, dresses, honeymoon places, florists, photographers you name it they will be there. I probably won't be able to afford most of it but it will give us some ideas. Can't wait to start the day except Mal's at swim practice again. I am all packed so as soon as she steps in the door we're off.
I did find out that in the polish traditions they don't do rehearsal dinners! Of course our luck the only thing the guy pays for. So I told Sebastian we could trade, we'll take the rehearsal and he can take the reception. Great idea!
Fact: Did you know the Mart is so big it has it's own zip code!
Fact: Because Britni works one block from the mart and her parking place is even closer I don't have to pay to park! Savings $30, day shopping with the girls PRICELESS! (maybe not for Kevin)

Ohhhh, that sounds like soooo much fun!!!! I DID know that the Merchandise Mart has its own zip code. Our cabbie told us that a couple of weeks ago. Yay for free parking. You're gonna have so much fun!
