a weekend in Chicago

This past weekend Seth and I went to Chicago to visit with Myron. We left early in the morning and spent a good part of the day in Chicago on Sunday. Myron took us to the most amazing fitness club I have ever seen. They had hundreds of cardio machines, beautiful indoor tennis courts, pools, a full size indoor track, restaurants, spa treatments, even a laundry room! We spent a couple hours there in the morning and I tried out all of the cardio machines I'd never done before. Myron and Seth did a tennis drill together and I did one later in the day as well. It was fun to have someone feeding me balls for a change!

We enjoyed spending time with Myron and seeing a little of the city. Myron took us to Paws, a no-kill animal shelter and we had fun looking at all of the animals available for adoption. They have tons of volunteers that help exercise the animals and come to play with them. Seth is convinced we need to get a friend for Sophie, but I am not so sure!

things slowing down a little bit...

Seth and I are both enjoying a long weekend. I had a four day weekend for parent teacher conferences at Bethany and Seth took a couple of days off so we could spend some time together. We've been sleeping in, playing tennis, and we spent yesterday in Mishawaka. Seth drooled over TVs at Best Buy, we walked around the mall, browsed Barnes and Nobles, and ate dinner out.

It feels great to have my tennis season done. We did finally win a few matches, but it was a tough season for us overall. I am enjoying the extra time in the afternoons and evenings now. The past seven weeks were maybe the busiest of my life. Things ended at just about the right time. My class work has started to pick up and I just finished taking my midterms.

Rebekah is in town this weekend. She and Aunt Lisa drove up on Friday for a couple of days. Rebekah is interviewing for a job in St. Joe on Monday. She is still trying to relocate a little closer to us (oh wait, and Chris!).
