Exactly one year ago today, Chris and I were married in Nauvoo temple for time and all eternity. This year has gone by so fast! As my Grandpa Ted says about his marriage to my Grandma Doris, "I only wish I had married her when I was 15, then we would be married for 60 years instead of 55!" Chris is the best husband in the whole wide world and every day he treats me like a princess. What more could a girl ask for?

and used them to stick some CDs on our bathroom wall. I didn't really look at the artist who made the CD when choosing them, mostly just the artwork that was on the CD. So we've got everything from the Chronicles of Narnia soundtrack to Linkin Park displayed on our wall. It adds a nice pop of color to an otherwise drab bathroom.
Another bonus, when we're getting ready in the morning, we can pull a CD off the wall and stick it in the CD player then put it right back!
July 25th 2007 - Very happy day!
I was a little concerned for my life when we got into the rental car and saw our vehicle number... 
But then we got to the hotel and everything was fine. More than fine! When you stay in a hotel that looks like this on the outside
and this on the inside 
and with a view like this from your room
you know you've hit the jackpot. I seriously felt like Belle from Beauty and the Beast when she's staying in the castle.
Eating Deep Dish Chicago Style Pizza. This is the real deal! My mouth is watering just thinking about this stuff and looking at pictures aren't helping. The restaurant was called Giordano's and I highly recommend it.
Finding a brand of jeans called "Paige." Who knew? Too bad they were far out of my price range or I could be sporting a pair. 
Marveling at how smart animals are. It was probably 35 degrees outside so where do all the birds go? They huddle around the nice warm fire of course - genius! 
Coveting the University of Florida Art Education students' hilarious t-shirts. 
Wishing I had one of these scooter things to stroll around town on. Where do I get me one of them things? Not to mention those flashy vests!
Taking the elevator 103 floors up to the top of the Sears tower and gazing upon the city scape below. 
Visiting the Art Institute of Chicago where I found too many cool and famous artworks to post here. (Side note - did you know the creators of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles got the names of their characters from the names inscribed on the outside museum walls of the AI? Michaelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo and Raphael are all there - I saw them with my own eyes!)
If you don't know who this is painted by, you need to take an art history class.
Ditto to the above statement about this artwork. And, believe it or not, trying to make a painting that looks like this is very hard!
There was even a painting by my favorite Cubist artist Juan Gris. 
Walking across the BP Bridge. It's a "sinuous pedestrian bridge designed by the architect Frank Gehry and it links Millennium Park with the eastern portion of Grant Park and provides incomparable views of the city's skyline, Grant Park and Lake Michigan. The only Gehry-designed bridge in the world, the 925-foot long BP Bridge is clad in stainless steel panels and has a gentle slope and hardwood deck."
Standing under the "The Flamingo" by American sculptor Alexander Calder. It's red.
Checking out this untitled Picasso sculpture. It is 50 feet tall and weighs 162 tons. It was the first major public artwork in Downtown Chicago and has become a well known landmark.
And finally, listening to the sounds of three young men bashing drum sticks on garbage pails. It sounded so cool! When I took the video, one guy was soloing, but you get the point.
A new Costco warehouse is currently under construction in Redmond, so we won't go to Kirkland for very much longer. I'm bittersweet about it.
"I think most people would agree that their skulls are a priceless asset. But what artist Damien Hirst has done to the following skull has actually made a nondescript skull into one of the most expensive pieces of art ever. It is estimated to be worth more than $50 million, maybe even $100 million. It is believed to come from the skeleton of a man who lived between 1720 and 1810. From Reuters:'British artist Damien Hirst revealed his latest work of art at the White Cube Gallery in London, June 1, 2007. “For the Love of God" is a life-size cast of a human skull in platinum and covered by 8,601 pave-set diamonds weighing 1,106.18 carats. The single large diamond in the middle of the forehead is reportedly worth $4.2 million alone. Hirst financed the project himself and estimates it cost between 10 and 15 million. But given the cultlike following for Hirst’s previous works — and corresponding financial takings — some hedge fund manager, and closet Hirst fan, may shell out the cash for the diamond-crusted skull.'”
