what a superfantastic deal!

have you ever run across an amazing deal somewhere?  did you feel as though this great opportunity was purposely placed in your life by a higher power so that you could experience a brief little jubilation over great savings?

a couple of months ago, our friend (and marryer!) adam zip told us about a limited offer from southwest airlines. they had fares as low as $30 one-way to great locations all around the u.s.  after some quick deliberating, we booked a way-cheap january getaway to chicago!

boy, was i sauntering around the apartment that night, giving logan that knowing, smirking smile.  "who gets all the great deals out there?  we do!  ha-ha!  we are soooo travel savvy and cool.  could we be any cooler?"  funny i should rhetorically ask myself that...

what were we thinking???  of course a plane ticket to chicago in the middle of january is cheap!  arrrgh!  oh, the sting of naivete.

so far, i am planning to declare war on cold weather by eating vast amounts of steamy hot, deep dish pizza.  our excellent friends (newly engaged!) carolyn and scott are meeting us up there this saturday.  i'm excited to spend time with them and explore a new city!  we will once again be packing in one carry-on so stay tuned!
