Celebrity Spotting

A few days ago, Jarod and I decided that we were just going to be lazy and go grab something to eat, so we walked out our front door and jumped in his car which just happened to be parked right out front (everything is street parking in Chicago so sometimes you have to park a few blocks away). As I was fastening my seat belt I noticed that two people were standing in front of the house next door that is for sale. Being curious on who my new neighbors may be I continued to stare at them as we drove past. It took me a second but then I realized that I knew that guy. It was Nate Berkus! Ya know of 'Oprah's Biggest Give', Oprah's designer, etc. I couldn't believe it! I was all excited! I am used to seeing celebrities after living in California for so many years and that I used to cover celebrity events for my past job, but he was standing in front of my house!! Now that does not happen very often.
Jarod was not that impressed. He had no idea who he was so he was killing my moment. I wanted my moment so I called my mom to share the exciting news. She appreciated it much more than Jarod.
I think he was looking at the house next door. Who knows maybe Nate will be my new neighbor? Maybe we will be come fast friends and he will volunteer out of the goodness of his heart to redecorate my house and introduce me to Oprah! You never know it could happen.

Mom told me that and I was so excited. You blogooks really cute I love that picture of you and Jarod. Our next big trip is Hawaii next year. We have to save up all we can to go, but after that Chicago here we come. On our flght to New York we were planning on giving up ourseats to get free tickets to Chicago if we could but t didn't happen. So sad. Well I love you and hope all is well.
