Visit from Nicole Santiago on a CHILLY, windy day

I was so excited last week when my friend Nicole called to say she was flying to London for work and would have a long layover at O'Hare on the way... so this morning I picked Nicole up from the airport at 11:45, then we zipped on home, ate a quick lunch, went to church, and then drove her back to the airport. It was SO fun to catch up and hear about her job as an event planner (which she is just perfect for!) and everything else going on in her life right now.

Of course, I had to drive Nicole by the lake on our way back to the airport so she could see the icebergs in Lake Michigan - it was another BITTER cold day (the high was 1 degree, low was -3 degrees, with a really awful wind chill), but she was a trooper and stood outside so we could get some fun pictures. Brrrr!!! I get cold thinking about it. Nicole said the cold made her teeth hurt. (And this crazy girl was in a skirt but didn't bring hose - she was nuts!!)

Crazy Nicole without a real coat on, also sans scarf, hat...

I couldn't make it onto the beach this time because the stairs/ramp down to it was all iced over...

I love seeing my Diva friends from my college days! Nicole and I were across the hall from each other during our freshman year, and we used to take walks around the Provo Temple and kickboxing classes at the RB. It was so good to see you and think of all of the fun memories, Nicole!
