you will never believe where i am blogging from.. Macy's the department store in Chicago! this place is freakkiiinngg huge.. 9 floors!!!!!!!!!!!! the building is BEAUTIFUL! they have a wine cellar.. everything you can think of.. it's crazy! david and i have gotten lost looking for a new backpack.. our old one broke.. TWICE in Dallas on the way to the airport (we took the train).. david has had to carry allllll the carry on himself.. so it sucks.. 

obviously, we stayed in Chicago overnight.. or i would already be in Germany.. we volunteered our flight (the flight was overbooked) we received $1600 in flight vouchers.. a hotel stay.. and $40 in food vouchers.. our flight is leaving tonight at 7:30pm (hopefully).. so we figured we would spend a few hours in downtown Chicago.. the weather here is awesome.. perfect! anyway.. here are a few pictures i was able to snap last night.. i was going to get the Internet at the airport but Macy's has it for free.. so this will be my only time to update it before we leave for Germany... we are having a great time already!

cheap backpack = crap

waiting for the sky link at DFW airport.. 

i am addicted to smoothies..

smoothie stealer!

my fat (pregnant) self

david kept saying "ashton is going to wonder why you never have pictures of yourself in public places while pregnant with him".. so.. now he can shut it.. yes.. i am huge.. yes everyone has noticed.. yes it's starting to make me feel fat.. and yes.. i hate this picture.. and yes.. that is my lovely/sexy tush-cush coccyx pillow that has been a huge relief!

self changing seat covers = awesome

one of the reasons why i love david sooo much, david begged me not to post this on the Internet.. last time we flew into Chicago (summer 2006) i was amazed how the toilets change the seat covers themselves.. i was soooo amazed i vowed if i ever found myself at the Chicago airport again i would snap a picture of it.. lol.. i pleaded with david to pose funny and he said "i am going to only do this once.. so make sure it counts".. lol.

the long underground tunnel at the airport in chicago

waiting.....

waiting for our flight.. that we ended up volunteering on.. tanna i am on the phone with you as i snapped this picture.. feel special! :o)

american airlines very generous

the hotel american airlines hooked us up in.. not as nice as the last one they hooked us up in but still nice never the less.. 

single servings

tons of freebies at the hotel.. thankgoodness.. considering we left our luggage at the airport so we wouldn't have to lug it around.. i am in clothes that i have worn for two days.. i feel gross.. dirty and i want a hot shower and nice clean clothes.. but for the $1600 vouchers it was totally worth it..
