Ok so that line was stolen from That 70's show. Big whoop. Point is, I'm here! I moved back to Milwaukee on the 30th of June and lets just say that my first 2.5 weeks have been everything I imagined and more! I changed a lot about my life so lets do this in pieces.
Part I: New City
Ladies and gentleman, if the title didn't make it obvious, I'm in Milwaukee! My first weekend back my sister Molly was in town and it was the Fourth of July (insert Yankee Doodle music here). We had a nice little Saturday of pancake breakfast, followed by beers while lounging in the pool. Tis the life :) Sunday held a day down at the lakefront hanging out with friends and then watching the hour long fireworks. I'm not sure what is it, but I could watch fireworks for like 23 hours a day. They fascinate me! Finally Monday we went to the parade in the big OC (that's Oak Creek for all your commoners out there) and the fireworks again at night. It was a perfect first weekend. WELCOME HOME!
Mia and me at the parade :)
Weekend two, was BIRTHDAY WEEKEND! Let's get one thing straight: birthdays to me are like Christmas to me. I celebrate it every year and try to go all out! This isn't one of those, "oh, woah is me, I'm getting old, lets just order pizza in" No, F that. We're going to do it up big and I want EVERYONE we meet to know its my birthday! What other day of the year do you get preferential treatment??
So this year for the big 2-5 (yes, I"m getting OLD) I did it up big again! Friday night a group of us went to the Jason Aldean concert and then out for the night. It was fabulous :) Saturday some of my BFFs from Chicago came up and we went on a riverboat brewery tour! I highly recommend it if you've never been. There is nothing like drinking along the riverfront and more importantly, watching people fall off railings!

Saturday night we drank on a rooftop and then hit the town til bar time. We met some "AWESOME" people but unfortunately didn't' get to drink awesome shooters (Mean Girls quote anyone??) We completed Sunday with a Brewers game with an outrageous tailgate and of course, a Brewers come from behind victory!
My first "new": new city, has so far turned out to be a roaring success! Stayed tuned for parts II, III, and IV!
