Where did the summer go?

We have one more week out here in Chicago, and it feels so strange to me!! I feel like I haven't had a summer at all!! Now school is starting for everyone.... weird! I can't wait to get back and see everyone, and hang out with my family and friends. I miss everyone so much!!

To Utah and back again!

I just got back to Chicago from a 3 week vacation back to Utah! it was so nice to see everyone!! I got to go camping with some friends and play at the lake it was a blast!! We went to Lagoon aslo, that was very fun!! Lagoon has just been getting so old these last few years, but it was truly fun this year. We hit up Lagoona beach this time, maybe thats why it was fun, i haven't done that for about 5 years!!! But i'm back in Chi-Town and loving it!! Although, its really cold here!!! WEIRD, but its better than dying heat!! Anyway, i will post pics when i can!!!

picture overload!!

I am not going to say a lot here... but i will caption the pictures. This is our life in Chicago!

Driving out to Chicago.....

this is my favorite part of our apartment.... our little porch that over looks the golf course!!

of course living by the golf course means that sometimes you will get a ball or two on your doorstep!

this is the little boy i watch during the day, Kenne! love him!

We hit our dinner goal for the week and we got to go to, yep you guessed it...TGIF!

This is us at Six Flags!! what a blast!! this is the second time we've been now!!! LOVE IT!

loving our life in Chi-Town!

one of the million sky line pics i have!

i bunch of the people we hang out with, almost every night!!! Love them!!

Dal and me getting ready for the pool!!! my new favorite place!!

This is Kobe's favorite place to sleep!!! in the dirty clothes pile!!!

We are loving it out here in Chicago.... i will post more pics as i take them!!! LOVE YOU ALL!

The pool!

FINALLY!! finally the weather was good enough to go swimming! say it with me...AHHHHHHH! yesterday was so great! it was warm out side and the sun even made an appearance! I went down with some of the wives out here and played with the kids in the water then just layed out for another few hours and read!! It was so relaxing! You bet your buttons that as soon as Chicago figures out that its Chicago and not Seattle (because of the rain) That i will always be ...down by the pool! YAY! also i am such a reader now.... i have no TV and no computer ( this is the apartment complex business center computer) so all i can do is read!!

here we are!

I am fully aware that i haven't posted pics in a really long time... i am working on it.

Any way, we got into Chicago about two weeks ago... and it is FABULOUS! i heart this place! We are actually in Westmont.... so if Chicago was salt lake then we would be in Sandy, or Draper... (I think) Our apartment could not be farther away from everyone and everything in the complex..... its is quite the journey to get to the Garbage dump, the Pool, the mail room, and anything else i have to get too.... but its OK i still like it. Our apt over looks this golf course and we have some really cool neighbors beneath us. We actually went down a few nights ago and BBQ'ed with them. It was fun. Dallas is dong really really great with his job. he has sold 5 so far... which people tell me that is really good for his first summer, this early. We wake at like 8 or 9 and eat breakfast and hang out for a while, then he leaves at like 11:15ish then he gets home at like 10ish and that happens Monday- Saturday..... so as you might have guessed... i am very board for like 11 hours during the day (hence the longest post of my life) So, my house is spotless..... which i love and hate.... I try and make big messes for dinner so i have something to do the next day...HA! well i found the library, and so i started to read the Harry Potter books.... why not right? well i started on the first one, like a week and a half ago and guess what number i am starting today...... 5! yes i am starting number 5 today! i am not saying this as an accomplishment..... i think its kind of sad! well... i am not gonna lie i am kinda proud, that i finished the first four in 10 days.... well.... that's all that is really going on... hmmm.... oh yeah, since i am such a hermit crab, and a Harry Potter lush, i decided to start an in-home daycare.... we'll see how it works out. I will let you know! Thanks for reading about my life! Dallas always tells me "post something on that dumb blog thing." he wants everyone to know how were doing, but he doesn't want me to know that he thinks blogging is cool..... oh i know! Love you guys!

On our way!!!

So we left this morning for Chicago.... hmmmmm..... I am blogging at our hotel in Nebraska right now... and let me just say this place is FLAT!!! anyway let me start from yesterday morning... We woke up with our apartment looking just as it always did ever since we moved in (MESSY), and we got it all packed in one day (me= STRESS CASE) its OK, I got over it!! then we went to sleep at my Bro and sis-in-law's house out in Eagle mtn. We played monopoly (like we always do) and then we went to bed*******NEXT DAY******** 5:00 a.m. up and at em', ready to go and really tired!!! we left at about 7:30 8 ish, and Dallas and i get to drive another one of the sales guys cars out. its really nice its just Me, him and Kobe. any way that's all i have right now! i will post some pics later!!! BYE-BYE

So we have been talking about this job opportunity that has presented itself to us for the last little while and we have just made the decision to go.... We are going to move to Chicago for the summer and Dal is going to sell security systems..... it is really going to be a great thing... hopefully we can get some debt paid off and start heading in the right path.... It is a little scary, but i think we can manage. We are going out there with Bryce and Jamie's' friends, Ben and Jen... and it is going to be a blast!!! any way i will keep you posted on the dates and stuff when we leave and come back..... love you all!
