Yesterday I was able to see two of the best friends ever! Sarah, Kaitlyn, and I all met up in Schaumburg to do some serious shopping! We started out the evening by settling into our hotel (or rather throwing our clothes around and spreading ourselves out). Then we rushed over to the mall (no surprise there I am sure). We went to Bath and Body Works first where a worker offered us each a $10 gift card if we would take a short survey. So I was able to walk out of the store with three awesome items and only had to pay $2 of my own cash! Then we went to Victoria Secrets. We were just looking around at the perfume and such when I glanced down and saw the sale rack that had the perfume I had been wanting for months. I found this perfume at a mall in Matteson one day in their sale items. It was one of those last minute purchases because it was so cheap--but I instantly fell in the love with the scent. Then I decided to take it home with me that weekend and proceeded to spill it all over my bag. I tried searching for the scent at multiple spots and had no luck. I was so excited to find the perfume and even more excited to find out it was 75% off. I love deals when I am shopping. We then headed over to Maggianos. Delicious! They have some of the best bread and alfredo around! We spent some time looking at makeup and then went to our room where we proceeded the task of the search for ice(but that is a story for another time). Then we spent time talking for a few hours before we finally fell asleep.
Today we woke up and began our shopping for the apartment. Between IKEA and Target we are mostly set. We found rugs, container, a bookshelf, some picture frames, wall decorations, a shower caddy, and other little odds and ends that will make our apartment amazing. I was dreading the ride home the whole trip and was planning to call someone on the way home so as to entertain myself, though everyone one I had in mind seemed to have plans--but then my other awesome roommate Steph sent me a text and I couldn't help but to call and catch her up. Made the trip go by so fast. :)
Overall, the weekend was a success. It is amazing the way true friends can just jump back into conversation. While some catch-up is necessary---for the most part it seems like we were never apart. I can't wait until we move-in. OH, and did you know the Magic Erasers are truly magical? Haha I love my roommates!
I miss them already!
Sarah
