Sandra and Mareike brought another German Girl on board who lives with her husband across my street. Isn't that funny? Her name is also Sandra (yes, watch out... now we're getting also additional Sandra's here) and she & her husband Jared moved to Schaumburg three month ago and haven't really made friends around here. Jared joined us girls with our shopping tour. Here you can see: Jared & Sandra, Mareike and Sandra:
This was a great Sunday and we all look forward to more of those great times in the future.
And not only a shop but a huge Harley Davidson Factory where you can join a guided tour through the facility. So the guy, I went to lunch with today, and I have done a little shopping after lunch at the Harley Davidson store and we decided next time when I'll be in Kansas City we will do a tour through this factory :). That's cool, isn't it? 
So I look forward to my next businesstrip to Kansas City :). 
Here a view from my parking lot across the street to Steph's backyard. When I go over to her place I normally use the simple way through the backyard :). Her place is in the very middle behind all those trees :).
A view from the other side of the street into my street. The house at the right side of the pic is where my apartment is located.
And here we are... The way to my entrance... very nice area, isn't it? I love living here... it's so beautiful. Everytime when I come home and enter the driveway my heart is jumping up and down like a little kid... YES... THIS IS MY HOME :).
Unfortunately I got sick again :(... I was just over a week without antibiotica and now I have to take some again :(. This time it's not a sinus infection but a minor infection that hurts much more... I began running a fever on sunday that we tried to drop with some medicine but the pain didn't really went away and the fever still went up and down. On Tuesday John brought me to his doc and he prescribed me some antibiotica again :(. So I'll be on antibiotica again for 10-15 days and this afternoon I'll start going to work again. Hopefully I'll survive :).
Yesterday I had a crazy evening and needed to do something different. So I remodeled my apartment a little bit. The dining set is in the kitchen now and the livingroom set I've changed a little bit around :). I know... the walls are still a little bit empty... but as soon as I'll get this glass I'll put the nice frame on the wall. As you know... it always takes a while until I've decided WHERE this picture will have its place :). 
We all were in the mood to have dinner at the Cheese Factory which was kind of a good and bad decision. The food was great but we had some troubles with our waitress :) but the fun was there as the pics show you:
After the dinner we went for a little walk to the Millenium Park that has been closed already :(... at least we've walked of a bit of our heavy dinner :).
John and I really enjoyed this evening and decided to spend at least one day or night a month downtown to have lunch or dinner and enjoy the city a little bit more :)...
