I just wanted to ask y'all to pray for my family. My grandma (my dad's mom) was rushed to the hospital this morning when she had difficulty breathing and some stomach pain. It's nothing too serious, just pancreatitis and gall stones, so she will be fine but it is still hard for my family!
Thank you so much! :)

Skylines, Baseball, Theater, Shopping, Eating, and Surprise
From July 4-8 my mom, sister, and me were in Chicago, IL and may I say it was a blast! :) We did so many things.
On Wednesday, we went to Pizzeria Uno and then went on the Navy Pier, went on an architecture tour to learn all about the the buildings that make up the Chicago skyline, and listened to live music. We saw an amazing firework show that was launched from a cargo ship by the pier! :) Happy Birthday America! :)
On Thursday, we went the Chicago White Sox vs. Texas Rangers baseball game at U.S. Cellular Field. While I love baseball, I have to admit that this game was not very exciting. I have a strong dislike for the White Sox ever since they beat the Astros in the 2005 World Series and I have never gotten over it. It was fun to the watch the Rangers but it didn't help that the biggest banner in the stadium (even bigger than the American flag) was the 2005 World Series Champion banner! :p
We also went shopping and then went to the John Hancock Tower and saw the best view of the city from the LADIES RESTROOM on the 96th floor! It was such an amazing view!
The banner...GRRR!
On Friday, we went to the beach in the morning and then went and saw The Amazing Spiderman in IMAX 3D. I thought it was such a good movie! :) And seeing it on a 6 story screen was even better. The night my mom started her conference so my sister and I went to the pier and had a delicious meal at Bubba Gump's Shrimp Co. (Yes, it was based off Forrest Gump)

Saturday was the last day that my sister and I had a full day in Chicago. We went to the Chicago Shakespeare Theater to see Beauty and the Beast and it was AMAZING (my favorite part of the trip)!!! We also went to shopping and just hung out for the day. We went to Dick's Last Resort for dinner so that was a blast, but they weren't as mean and rude as some of the other times I have gone.
On Sunday, Kelly and I flew home and it was no fun sitting in the airport while our plane was delayed! :p At least we are home! :)

Last night, we had a surprise party for Kaitlyn to celebrate her birthday! :) It was so much fun and we were able successfully pull off the surprise. One of the elements of the surprise was her boyfriend, Ryan, coming into town without her knowing. It was a blast and I'm glad she had fun! :) Happy late birthday, Kaitlyn. I love you
It has been a very fun couple of weeks. Next week I will hear if I got the job at the law firm I interviewed at! Pray I do! :)

Can I Ask?
Can I ask for prayer?
I seem to be having a touch couple of weeks. First my really good friend lost her baby and then the guy I like a lot gets an internship in California. :/
I don't understand why God took away Erynn and Jon's baby but it really is a hard thing to deal with, even for me. I saw them for the first time since this hard time today and it was very difficult not to start crying as I was hugging Erynn. I could tell she was torn up and as her 2 year old son ran around all I could do was sit there and try to figure out why this tragic event would happen to this wonderful family!
I also would ask for prayer as I take the Doctrine Class at Mars Hill Church|ABQ to start becoming a member! :) I am so excited to see how God will work in my life through this process.
The last prayer I ask for is safety why my family and I head to Chicago for the week :) I am very stocked about this trip and it should be a blast. I'll be sure to take a ton of pictures and write about it when I return.
Thanks!!
