Chicago Trip





As you can tell, I'm not very good at keeping our blog updated! Sorry!  I spent last weekend in Chicago with my mom, sister, Aunt Marilyn, and cousins Corah and Jill -- Corah, Jill, Andrea, and I have been close since our childhood (we're all exactly one year apart), and unfortunately don't see each other as much after going separate ways since being married.  

After picking up Jill from Midway on Friday night, we spent all of Saturday shopping at Woodfield Mall in Schaumberg, where we had great success with purchases!  We finished off our long day of shopping with a delicious meal at the Cheesecake Factory.  On Sunday, we drove into Chicago, and spent the day enjoying the beautiful weather and sights of the city.  We couldn't help but admire all of the bright colored mum plants everywhere!!

I had so much fun on our shopping trip prior to my busy week of parent-teacher conferences at school -- I'm so excited that Corah and Travis will be moving to Grand Rapids, and miss Jill so much back in Louisiana!  Can't wait until we get together again at Thanksgiving!
