The Wolfpack.


Hello again friends!
When I last wrote, Cody and I were anxiously awaiting the arrival of our third and final roommate Jake.    We quickly helped him move in, said farewell to his parents, and there we were.  Just the three of us.

Jake's collection of Muscle Milk... I'll be pretty ripped by the end of the year :)

Cody and I had already indulged in Chicago style pizza the first weekend we met, so we felt it was only fair for pizza to be our first meal with Jake.  On the way to the EL we became the wolfpack. Basically the three best friends. I can't tell you exactly why this came about it, it just did.  After pizza we met some of our other intern friends at Uncle Fatty's, a rum tiki bar with a cover band.

Fish Bowl Drinks at Uncle Fatty's!
After a night out, we couldn't resist trying out the 24 hour Diner Grill on our street!
After a crazy fun night, we decided that Friday we'd take the day off and do some chores.  We timed  our ride to work on the EL, set up new bank accounts, grocery shopped, and cooked family dinner.  The boys and I made an arrangement that I'll cook 4 nights a week if they the dishes. It was the first time I'd really used the kitchen and I was really excited about how the meal turned out.  Baked Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken, Twice Baked Potatoes (Weight Watchers 88 cal. recipe), & Mixed Green Salad.  We invited a few other interns over too!


YUM!

Cody, Danielle, Amanda & Jake!


Yesterday we spontaneously decided to scalp some tickets to the cubs game.  We got $70 seats for $20! We had a great time at the game and met some really cool people.  Of course the game was fairly boring, that'll happen when the two worst teams in baseball are playing.  


Wolfpack!


We agreed to join our new friends at the Cubby Bear for A drink.  It's funny how we say that when we know it'll turn into more than one drink.  

Cheers! 

The wolfpack stayed out for a few hours, power napped, and made it to an intern gathering last night.  This has been the most incredible three weeks.  I couldn't be happier with my roommates, apartment, new friends, Chicago, and the new job I start tomorrow!  Wish me luck!   

Happy Sunday Everyone!
