I would say that the past two weeks have been a huge success.

Yes, there were multiple scares along the way, but overall, I had an amazing time.

It was really important that I met Jonathan's family, and he met mine.

Especially if the two of us are going to continue to get more and more serious, which I personally think we are.

It's Saturday, August 2, at about 4:30 in the afternoon.

Jonathan and I are driving home from the Chicago airport.

We flew home from Buffalo earlier today, and we have officially arrived back in The Windy City.

I am so thankful to finally be back.

I've missed this city, so freaking much.

Jonathan drives down the streets of Downtown Chicago.

It's partly cloudy today, but still quite hot.

People crowd the streets, window shopping, laughing, and chatting with each other.

The Chicago River is a brilliant color of blue this fine afternoon.

Jonathan turns into the Trump Tower underground parking lot, where he finds a parking spot, and parks the car.

I am beyond excited to see Patrick again.

I have missed him so much.

"Thank-you, Ally, for joining me on this two week adventure." Jonathan says, reaching over and grabbing my hand.

I look over to him from the passenger side, and smile.

"Thank-you, Jonathan." I smile.

He squeezes my hand before the two of us get out of the car, and grab our luggage from the back.

Jonathan isn't home for long, though.

During our last couple days in Buffalo, David had called and asked Jonathan if he wanted to do a "brother-brother" trip together to Montreal for a week.

Of course, since Jonathan hardly gets to spend much time with him during the season, he didn't turn down the offer.

But, he did ask me first. 

Of course I was going to say that he could go, I mean, I don't control him! 

And he's going with David, whom he doesn't see much.

I think it's important that he goes, and I know he's pretty excited.

Jonathan leaves for Montreal tomorrow at about 11:00 in the morning. He comes home Friday, August 8.

I'm really looking forward to having a week with Patrick, just to re-connect and fill him in on all the details from the past two weeks.

I haven't been able to spend much time with just Patrick, so this week will be good.
