Smartypants Turns 40

 Vera Bradley goodies for the graduate!
 Raw emerald necklace/earring set for the Birthday Girl!
Cheers!
My friend Bex graduated this past weekend from Dominican University with a Master's in Library & Information Science.  A friend on Facebook hit the nail on the head when she said that she is now a walking Google!  Congrats!  I would also like to welcome her to The Club!  (She also turned 40 on May 1st!)  Our friend Heather made the trip down from Michigan for the weekend festivities.  We enjoyed a scrumptious dinner on Friday night at Bistro Campagne in Lincoln Square, and then trekked it next door for drinks at a cozy Irish pub.  We attended the graduation on Saturday where the address was given by Newton Minnow, a truly accomplished and fascinating man!  He and his wife AND three daughters were granted honorary degrees...talk about achievers!  Saturday evening we hit up a Mexican restaurant to do our part in celebrating Cinco de Mayo.  We shopped on Sunday.  Good times!
