I made a trip to Chicago to visit my oldest and bestest friend, Courtney. When I moved schools and joined Ravenna in 4th grade, she was one of my first friends and we’ve been so close ever since. We’ve grown up together and she’s such an amazing friend the last 15 years. I played matchmaker more than four years ago while a sophomore in college and introduced Courtney to her boyfriend Ben. Now, they have the cutest apartment in Chicago and I love coming to visit, which I need to do more often!
Courtney is so stylish yet, frugal. She’s so good about not blowing her money, but remaining stylish and oh so cute. She was voted “Best Dressed” in high school and she’s even more fabulous now.
I had to sneak photos of Court because she wouldn’t let me photograph her solely for my blog. Instead, I kept catching her off guard. It’s hard not to catch her without food. She’s itsy bitsy but the girl eats more food than anyone I know, hehe!

My friend Don from high school was also in Chicago. He lives in Milwaukee now and he met up with us for dinner before we head to a burlesque show where another friend in high school is playing in the band.
We went here for dinner! Nom!
Court’s boyfriend, Ben!

Did you go to "Pinups for Pitbulls"? My dog rescue had a table there. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it because I helped out with an adoption event earlier, but I heard it was grand.
Dude. DUDE. I saw you on the red line El train yesterday! It was at a stop, and by the time I figured out it was you, the train was already leaving. But then I was like, "no, it couldn't be Andrea, she lives in Michigan". But it WAS you.
Good story, huh? 🙂
aww, looked like it was fun catching up
and p.s. her bf is a cutie–who dresses cute, even better haha

She is fabulous. Playing matchmaker can be so fulfilling. I introduced one of my closest friends to her BF. They're insanely cute!
