P A R I S W I T H R O B - B & C H I C A G O

here are some pictures from rob-b. we got to spend three days together in Paris. Our paths happen to cross and the places we stayed at were only a block away which is a HUGE HUGE HUGE coincidence (we SWEAR we did NOT plan that. we are still pretty astonished of the chances). The three days were pretty cold and rainy, but we had fun nonetheless!

DAY ONE Pompidou and Soucre du Coure We met up at Notre Dame at 10am (it was very elaborate how we met. we planned it a week in advance so there was a lot that could have gone wrong in this plan, cause we had no cell phones, no nothing).

So Jonathan was also in Paris and we thought that we'd be able to get ahold of each other when I got there, but it was IMPOSSIBLE to meet up cause i dind't have a phone and jonathan and I are bad at email communication for some reason. By day 5, i gave up on meeting with him. I was waiting for Rob-b on a bench in front of Notre Dame and was writing in my journal. I looked to the left of me, down the road...... and there's JONATHAN walking towards me! This trip was all about awesome chances. We hungout with Jonathan for two days, which was awesome. yayyy


some art from pompidou:

Day Two: Picasso Museum, Birthday Dinner, Eiffel Tower The second day was REALLY COLD and rainy. We went to said places and had fun with each other. Rob-b took me out for my birthday at a really nice restaurant, and then trekked SO FAR to get to the Eiffel Tower in the pouring rain. It kind of sucked, but it was well worth it. I LOVE PARIS.


this was at the Picasso museum... so cute.


Rob-b took me out for my birthday in Paris and we had the most amazing food. He got lamb chops and i got chicken pasta with asparagus. MMMMMMMMMMM.

Day Three: Exploring Paris Rob-b and I spent the third day just walking around Paris and discovering things.... like CREPES, awesome alarm clocks, VINYL TOYS, bookstores, and our love for Paris. We also went back to the Notre Dame and walked around the Isle.


early morning, starting out on our street.






The garden in the back that Rob-b found for us the first time he visited Paris.


Wobby.




awesome zebra graffiti!!!!!!!!!!!!!




so rob-b and i thought we'd be happy with crepes but as we were eating our crepes, we found ALBUMS.... a HUGE vinyl toy and comic book store. This is where rob-b and i go when we die--vinyl/comic book heaven.


then the boys took off on their overnight train to Barcelona. It was a good time. Love you guys.


ending off with a picture of 3 best friends that grew up together =)



Chicago so i moved into my apartment last Thursday and so far it's been amazing. I'm currently living with Clint and Homie, which is awesome, i love'm. Rob-b helped me move in and build furniture (thanks baby!) and Kelly, Charlie, and Bailey visited the first weekend for PRIDE (which was NUTS). Zach, Al, Mike, and John came to visit Jess (who lives right under me) so we got to hangout too. This apartment is basically the most awesome thing. Becky stayed over last night and it was delightful to see her, as always. Some pics, courtesy of Charlie and me.


After a long day of unpacking and me slavedriving him, Rob-b still loved me, haha. And took me to The Melting Pot for dinner. We had the time of our lives eating our faces off.


Charlie is hands down the guy with the biggest heart ever. He gave me the WHITE cabello, gave Homie and Clint the pink cabello, and gave Kelly the orange one. WE HEART VINYL PLUSH!
