An account of my whereabouts during my travels !

put sufjan stevens on, and we'll play your favorite song. chicago burst to light.

Well I think you have all suffered enough from this blog drought. So here goes, the biggest update of my life. Procrastination a go go for everybody. As you may or may not know my mum and dad flew over to Chicago on the 6th of February, I got the train over too and we met up in their hotel. They are pretending they came over to see me but they really just wanted to get on my blog. So here is a medley of pictures from the long weekend we spent there. The ones with the dates at the bottom were taken by my dad and I took the other ones.

My first hug from my mum since the start of August, lot of scarfs and hats involved

i doubt after the cold weather here they would be willing to go somewhere colder ! it was so weird comparing pictures of chicago in the snow.
