So Long, Chicago

we are finally leaving chicago! dont get me wrong- i had a GREAT time here, but winter has moved in and i am ready to head south. thanksgiving day was wonderful. i was home for a glorious 18 hours and was in tears by the time my parents dropped us off at the airport. i left with most of the leftovers and 4 pounds of beef jerkey my brother made for me. i was so upset that i had to leave home that i got trashed at the airport bar and passed out before we even took off. :) whoops. the past few days have been incredibly long and COLD. 3 shows friday, 3 shows saturday and 2 shows today plus loadout. i had dinner last night with a friend from college- i hadnt seen her in almost 4 years so that was a lot of fun and a lot of catching up. today didnt break freezing all day. it snowed/sleeted and we had to break out the winter coats for the horses. they look so damn cute in them! i am back to the rain now, showered and ready for a movie. tonight we head to huntsville, alabama where we have out last 8 shows of the year. i am looking forward to florida. though, i think i am ready to be home..... no scratch that.... i am ready to be home....
