Chicago trip

Most of you know that I had the opportunity to go to Chicago last weekend. I went with a group of high schoolers who are in a scholarship program to come to NMC. They were all either Juniors or Seniors. Jim (the Director of Admissions and a man I work with) heads up the group along with another lady. And joining the two of them were Kyle and I (a bit younger!) as chaperones.

I was really excited about this weekend to get to hang out with the 26 high schoolers....really get to invest in them ...and explore Chicago all at the same time!

We did so much amazing stuff....lets see, where do I start?
  • Museum of Science and Industry
  • Medieval Times (dinner/theatre thing)
  • Chicago pizza!!!
  • Shedd's Planetarium
  • Broadway show Wicked
  • John Hancock building
  • And shopping!

It was such a great weekend! My favorite things were the Medieval Times (go Green Knight!!!) and Wicked. SO amazing. (Wicked is the story behind the Wizard of Oz...for those of you who didn't know ;) Anyway, it was a great weekend...and amazingly didn't wipe me out so much that I wasn't ready to crawl out of bed at 6 Monday morning ;)

Praise: Growing relationships here in TC
Prayer: Relationships here (funny how it's the same thing ;)

Love you guys...
