I'm back! My husband and I had a great dinner with Chris and I'm thrilled to have finally met an IHD member in person. The U2 concert was spectacular, Chicago was awesome! We now plan on taking a longer trip there at some point so we can get some of their stuffed crust, deep dish pizza and see more friends. But I am now exhausted, fluid overloaded and sick! But it was worth it!!
