The Big 3-0....

I turn 30 in about an hour and a half. gulp. I am holding off until the last second... 6:30 p.m. Frank made the bitter day much easier however. He surprised me last Wednesday night with a trip to CHICAGO! I've always wanted to go to the windy city for some good shopping! He wrapped up some gloves and a scarf and surprised me early; easily the sweetest gift ever!


We had a blast, we stayed right here on the 'magnificent mile' at the Affinia hotel. So nice!

A classic photo of us... we just really can't take good pics. Frank was such a trooper, I dragged him all over that town shopping and he never complained. Love him!!

I echo Catherine!!! Happy Birthday Ginger!!!
I am sooo jealous of your trip. I have been trying to get Russ to do the same for quite some time. Maybe I should leave your post up "accidentally" so he can feel inspired by Frank :)
I know you enjoyed your time.
Love you...
