Day 165

Today was a trip out of the city.

What I love: I love camping even if you do have to pay for it here.

Day 164

Love the little corner stores that we can get supplies for our journey to Nauvoo.

What I love: The diversity in Chicago.  The diversity in the places we live, the places we eat, the places we go.

Day 163

A day out with friends downtown before I left means cupcakes and falafel.

What I love:  All the different foods that I get to taste living in the city.  It was my favorite thing when I first moved here, and it continues to be my favorite.

Day 162

Of course an empty apartment means DANCE PARTY!

What I love:  Who doesn't love a good dance party in a tiny apartment with a disco ball.

Day 161

Today is the last day of school for the year!  Thus, our end of year party and I'm finally a full-time teacher again.

What I love:  The camaraderie that being a teacher brings and how lucky I've been to work with so many wonderful people.

Day 160

Today was a sad day because of friends actually left.

What I love: That while I still love Utah I have found some lovely friends here in the big city.

Day 159

Today was a trip to the burbs to see the husband's family before I left.

What I love: The garden and that the siblings-in-law did such a lovely job of taking care of it while I went away.  We have a feast of peas and cabbage.  Just wait until the zucchini comes in...
