Chicago Here I Come!
Today, I left for Chicago on business! I decided to go out a few days early, rent a car, and go see a bunch of our friends! A friend of ours, John Sabo, passed away and I was able to get there on time to attend his funeral. It was nice but I felt really self-conscious because I was in jeans (came right from the airport). I got to see a BUNCH of our friends there and they also invited me to stay for the luncheon afterward. It was nice to talk to everyone. Before leaving I took a picture of the church. 🙂
After the funeral, I went and picked up Brittany’s Metea Valley yearbook from the Gaul’s. It was great to see them again and I had a great chat with them. I then went around and took a bunch of pictures of our old house, the high school, middle school, and much more. I drove Brittany and Kirstyn crazy by calling them and saying things like “guess where I am now?” They want to come back here and visit so bad!
Tonight I went over to the Oscarson’s and stayed with them. I’m going to go to our old ward tomorrow and am very excited to see everyone! It’s really cool being back here because of all the positive memories that we made over the last 18 years of living here. You don’t have to worry about the negatives (property taxes being so high, bankrupt and corrupt state, etc.) 🙂
