These are 2 off my BFF's from way back in high school. I feel so lucky to still have both of them in my life. As much as phones, e-mails, blogs and facebook help us keep in contact these days, we all decided we needed some face to face quality girl time. Melanie flew in from Texas to meet Melinda and I down in Indy for a fun filled weekend together. Tiffany also met up with us on Saturday. (we missed you Alice, Sumera, Laverne and Jaci)
Our first stop was a super healthy dinner at the Indiana State Fair. If you've ever eaten at a fair, you know that it is pretty much impossible to eat healthy food at the fair. I think we started off with deep fried candy bars and cookies. Between six of us we consumed: shish-ka-bobs, BBQ pork, corn dogs, fried taters, ice cream, root bear floats, elephant ears and a couple rounds of fried candy bars. Did I miss anything girls?? Then we were off to the Kelly Clarkson concert right there at the fair. Our seats were great and I was super excited about that because I'm a HUGE fan of Kelly Clarkson. I was actually able to sing along to EVERY song she performed because I love her music.
The next day Tiffany met up with us and we visited...er...Melinda's...um...aunt's condo right on a lake that has a nice pool. Ok, so really it is a condo that Melinda is in the process of designing right now and happened to have the key for, so we had access to a pool that made for a great girls afternoon of relaxation and bonding time.
Then we spruced ourselves up for dinner at St. Elmo's in the city. Good thing Melinda had a $100 gift card because our total bill was $190 for the 4 of us ~YIKES!!! I must say it was the best Filet Mignon I've ever had. We all had a good sinus clearing too with their famous shrimp cocktail appetizer. When they said fiery cocktail sauce...they weren't kidding!
Our last stop together was catching a showing of "The Time Traveler's Wife" our friend Melanie is a HUGE movie buff. She writes movie reviews on
her blog so we told her we wanted to see a movie with her so we could be a part of her blog for this movie. :) You'll have to check it out to see how we rated this movie. (Mel's behind on blogging, so don't check anytime soon)
Anyway, I had a great weekend with my friends and wish it didn't go by so quickly! Love you girls!!!!

The game started off REALLY bad. At half time the Bulls had only scored 29 points. You can tell they had quite a pep talk in the locker room during half time, because they came back to win it 83-81 by the end of the game. 
Madi was obsessed with getting on the jumbo tron that night. Our friend Ben, that works at the United Center, got us the tickets and told us he'd try to get us on the fan cam that night since he was working. We finally were on the fancam towards the end of the game when it was getting really loud and fun in there! Thanks Ben!
We had planned to get Austin a Derrick Rose jersey for Christmas. We decided to get him it early since we were going to the Bulls game.
Our seats were great...3rd row from the court. We sat next to a guy that has owned 2 season tickets seats since Jordan's rookie year. Pretty cool!
There was a free concert right after the game that we stayed for. All American Rejects aren't exactly a family friendly group, so we didn't stay for the whole concert. Madi kept asking me why that guy was so weird.
