a hot sec in milwaukee!

​i was the stinker and had to work on saturday until 2:30, and then on monday at 12:30, so that left about a solid day for us to enjoy milwaukee!  (cuz travel time) so not much time, but we sucked the sweet out of every minute.  plus i just live for little adventures like this.  i cherish them so much!  especially with dear ones i don't get to see often enough.  amy and i literally had 7 hours straight of conversation (just from drive time!) plus all of our chats with anna, too, so you could say my heart is full from all that deep-drinkin.  being twenty-two is really fun.  and seeing my friends be twenty-three and twenty-six is really fun.  i think we're all really good at being our ages.  
​and for some photos! ....

oh, amy fredman.  you beautiful human.  what the heck would my life look like without you?!  

^^ i spy with my little eye...

^ doesn't that left pic look like a dream?!  it is very very real, and it's colectivo cafe!  the one and only! (just kidding, there are other locations ;)).  you can't see em, but there are four men singing gospel music back there, so... yeah.

^ i'm such a tourist but i don't even care.

^^ and then, to the MAM! (milwaukee art museum!) ohhh the excited giggles about the thought of going to that place!  turns out the building itself is quite the work of art, too.  let's not talk about the unreal subzero temperatures outside though.  let's keep this a happy pic.

^ this one's called "the two majesties" and i just liked it.  it's like aslan himself.

time just me & her.  real good.  my best pal anna!

^ and then how bout these beautiful tacos, huh?!  coolest little spot too, bel air cantina!  applause all around!

a little eau claire reunion!  how bout it!  and it was like we just saw each other yesterday.  they mean a lot to me.

^ and then just to show ya how well my friends take care of me, amy sent me home with her homemade pasta for lunch because i'd be drivin straight to work.  guhh.  come on!

these friendships mean a lot to me.  a whole lot.
