Christmas in Chicago

Sister-in-law, Beth, and niece, Ashley, hanging out in the Chaz basement on Christmas eve!

Paul and I at Macy's in downtown Chicago!

What an absolute blessing it was to meet up with an old Theta buddy from Northwestern, Kathy Beiser, and enjoy lunch together and catching up after 25 years! So great to be reconnected!

Playing Wii on Christmas eve! Fun times together!


Well, Christmas has come and gone, and Paul and I enjoyed time in Chicago with his family, eating, relaxing, playing Wii (we love bowling), laughing and enjoying being together! Our first Christmas as a married couple was pretty wonderful as we enjoyed a stroll in downtown Chicago and purchased our first nativity set, a hand-carved olive wood set from Israel at the Christmas market in Daley Plaza.

Since there really are 12 days of Christmas, we are continuing to enjoy our tree and decorations until the 6th of January, while we also work our way into a regular routine now that Paul has finished school and begins looking for work! We ask God for His favor on that job hunt!
