Since Adam grew up so close to Wrigley Field, I have inheritated his love for the Cubs. I was never really a baseball fan before I met him. My dad has always loved the Yankees, but now that I love the Cubs, I detest the Yankees.
Adam and I have been to 3 games so far this season. We have tickets for at least 3 other games. My brother bought a group of 9 games and we were able to buy some of the games from him.
I got to do something Cubs fans dream of on May 17th. It was Build-A-Bear Workshop Day at Wrigley Field. The first 1000 kids who came to the game got an exclusive Chicago Cubs Build-A-Bear. Since we were one of the sponsors of the game, our mascot got to throw out the first pitch and one of the charities we support also got to throw out a first pitch. My job for the day was to escort the young man from Super Sibs who would throwing a first pitch.
I GOT TO TOUCH THE GRASS ON WRIGLEY FIELD. IT WAS SO AWESOME!!!!!! We stood on the field for about 45 minutes before everything started. Adam was very jealous.
My camera is in Chicago, so as soon as I get home I will try to post a picture.

Bad Blogger
I am a bad blogger!!!!!! Life has been very crazy lately. Here is a recap of the month of May.
Work-Two of my assistant managers are leaving. One of them was promoted to a store manager and will be moving to Iowa and the other decided he didn't want to work in retail anymore. This is quite stressful because we are getting into our busiest time of year. If you know anyone who works in retail that might want to make a career change, let me know.
The store is getting busier. We get lots of school trips that come in during the week and lots of families during the weekends. One of my employees asked me what I miss about my old store. I miss my customers. I established some really great relationships with some of the people who shopped in my store. We get lots of tourists at Navy Pier, so its not really the same.
Family-My brother CJ and his girlfriend Jen stayed with Adam and I a few weeks ago. It was fun hanging out with them. We took them to a Mediterranean restaurant. They are very picky eaters, but I think they enjoyed it.
My mom had surgery on her hand last week. I think she is recovering well. She just has problems doing some stuff because her hand still hurts a little bit.
My dad's birthday was last week and my parent's anniversary is this week.
I am looking forward to seeing my parents tonight.
Adam-I saw Adam for the first time in 9 days last night. It really sucks living apart. I don't have any new news to share about his transition to Chicago. Hopefully we will know something soon.

Sick
I hate being sick. Right now I feel like someone ran over me with a huge truck. I plan on spending my day off tomorrow sleeping and blowing my nose.

Indiana Primary
Indiana holds it's primary election next Tuesday. This is the first time in a long time that Indiana will actually get to help decide who will run in the general election. I am a nerd and very excited about this. When I turned 18 I was so excited to register to vote. I voted absentee last week when I was back in Indiana. Clinton and Obama are plaing so many ads in Indiana right now. I can't wait to watch the results come in.
Lack of Updates
Sorry for the lack of updates. Getting adjusted to Chicago has kept me pretty busy. Here is a rundown of what's been happening.
Adam and I are slowly adjusting to not seeing each other everyday. He came into town Wednesday night because we had tickets to see the Cubs yesterday. We talk on the phone about 10 times a day and are always planning his next visit to Chicago or my next visit back to Indiana. He had a good meeting with his boss this week and spent time talking about him possibly taking over a Chicago store. Keep your fingers crossed!!!!!
The new store is good. It is a change of pace from my old store in Mishawaka. All of my new co-workers are great. They are very good about answering all my silly questions about how Navy Pier is a little different than other locations.
I really enjoying riding the Red Line to work. Some people think that is crazy. I drove one day last week and it took me 35 minutes to drive 8 miles. That is ridiculous. I can sit on the train and read a book and drink my coffee. Plus I am not paying LOTS of cash to out gas in my car.
That's all for now. :-)
