On September 18,2009 we celebrated our 10th anniversary!!! It's so hard to believe that this much time has passed already! We went camping at Illinois Beach State Park right on the beach of Lake Michigan (there are actually waves). Having some time away to enjoy nature and the sunshine was great for us and camping always seems to to relax the mind and body.In early October my family was able to come and visit us before they head south for the winter. We enjoyed a week with them (even though we had to work) staying with us. It was so nice to have them visit since we didn't think we would see them for another 6 months. My mom just sold her house this fall and will be looking for another house sometime in the spring. Daryl and I are hopefully planning a trip to visit in March while they are in Orlando.
I also am a new vocalist for our church's worship team and I just finished singing for 2 of our weekend services! It went really well and I'm looking forward to the next time. 3 days after my family left for PA, Daryl's mom flew out to spend the weekend with us! It was so nice to have family visit since we don't get to see them very often. We were able to take her out for dinner and a movie, which was a nice treat for all of us.
Daryl contiues to enjoy his classes and is looking forward to which classes are available for next semester. So for now we, continue to hold down the fort in Chicagoland...
