Thursday we leave early in the AM and drive to Chicago. Ginny served her mission there a few years ago and we have a great opportunity to share in the experience of seeing some old friends and even some who Ginny taught. I love learning more about Ginny's history; it helps me become closer to her. She is super excited to see everyone. Plus, we are gonna have some great food, Portillos, Jimmy Johns, and, hopefully, some Culvers! Oh, did I mention we are leaving 80 degree weather for mid-50's. Oh, yeah!!! For those of you who don't me that well, I love the cold!
After about 5 days there we will head to Nauvoo, IL (a historical site for our church) for a few days. We are staying at a log cabin. We are a little worried about the cabin but super excited if it's what we think it is. Of course, we will hit Carthage on the way out. The only sad part about the trip is the Nauvoo temple will not be open while we are there. Sigh, I love that temple so much and this is the second time I've gone to this town and I couldn't do a session. The last time we went, I was asked to stand in for baptisms and we didn't have time to do an endowment session. Oh well, I guess that means I should have to go back.
Then we will head home for a brief night's sleep in our bed for a night and head to Houston for a couple of days. My good friend Ryan is getting sealed to his love and I'm super excited to see that.
Anyway, I've posted this so people will bug me to post pictures upon our return. Thanks!
Goodbye SELU! You will not be missed. Enjoy your time without us! We will not be looking back.
