"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Chicago!

I just realized that I forgot to post about our Chicago trip!  So this is a little past due, but oh well.  Nathan and I took a trip to Chicago together about 3 weeks ago.  We had so much fun!  We did a TON of walking (and I foolishly wore flip flops the whole time--NOT a good idea when you walk that many miles.  I would not recommend it!)  Anyway, we went to Navy Pier, Michigan Avenue, and a Cubs game.  It was a very fun, much needed getaway for the 2 of us!

Of course, we had to try some Chicago deep dish pizza--yum, soooo good!


Here we are at Wrigley Field.  That was a fun evening, even though the Cubs did not even score at all!  Oh well, it was fun to be there:)

At Navy Pier during the day...

...and at night!

Thanks for a great time, Natie!  I had a great time with you--I love you!  And thanks, Mom and Dad M. for watching our kids!  We appreciated it!
