Moody... in a good way. It is snowing outside for the first time this year. Looks so beautiful. I love this time of year. Thanksgiving in a week and a half. Family and friends to be thankful for!
I have to admit...I am listening to Christmas music. I usually start at the beginning of October. LOL It is so peaceful right now. Sitting at the computer with the soft lamp light glowing, listening to Sarah McLachlan singing In the Bleak Mid-Winter , watching the snow out the back window, knowing Ethans asleep in his warm bed. Sigh...very comforting. Thank you Lord for you beauty and your peace.
What would it be like to live without the Lord? Without knowing his love and peace? Without that inner joy that wells up at times like this knowing it is because of him and his love for us? Life can sure be tough at times and the trials come, but right now it is so peaceful. I can have that security knowing that through it all he takes care of us and we can use those times to draw nearer to him. Thank you Lord!

Chicago!
Oh my! What a wonderful time we had! I couldn't have asked for it to be any better. Everything we did was super fun and relaxing. Wicked was amazing! The set was so visual and interesting. The acting and singing was out of this world. The story itself was a wonderful twist on the Oz story. I will have to read the book now!
The Shedd Aquarium was great. I got to see so many creatures that I have seen on the videos that Ethan and I have watched. I loved it! God sure does have a sense of humor...LOL. He also can think outside out little box! Some of those were so wonderful. We are going to make a point of taking Ethan when they get the Oceanarium part done. They are supposed to get dolphins and penguins. The Wild Reef was great too. It was a huge glass half dome of all sorts of sharks! We stood there for a long time just watching them swim past. One thing I noticed about many of the sharks and other fish in the aquarium were their swimming patterns. They would have their circuits they would swim over and over. It was funny to watch. One huge funny looking fish was so fast and his circuit was SMALL for his size. If fish could he would've gotten very dizzy! Haha.
We rode for the first time in a taxi. That was interesting. LOL We rode the bus from our hotel to the Magnificent Mile downtown. That was a first time for me to ride the public bus. Big city can be so interesting. The way it runs, the people who run it, the people who it is run for... if nothing else it is fun to watch. I wouldn't want to live there but visiting is fun!
Thank you to our loverly friends and family who helped make it possible for us to go and have such a good time.!!!
