*lots of fun*

well i guess its about time that i post something new! it seems like i rarely have time to do it! so why not now! the past few weeks have been really great! my family came down and we partied hard! it was so much fun to have everyone together and to do SO many cool things! we were able to experience alot of new things! baseball games, wicked, nauvoo, the nauvoo temple, a wii tournement, shopping, and food! it was such a great time! thanks mom and dad for everything you did for us! your so wonderful! also work has been going good! there is a girl named shannon that is a salesmans wife... she needed a job so me being the SWEETHEART that i am... offered to give her half of my hours! :) so now i only work 3 days a week! it is WONDERFUL! my husband is so awesome for letting me be lazy! i love him so much! also sunday me, sam, and 6 of our other friends went into chicago. we went to the Linclon Park Zoo which is one of the only free zoos in the country. that was way fun and there was also a jazz festival going on in the park and BB King was playing so we went and watched that for awhile! there were thousands of people there it was fun! the funny part about this story is however that on the way home we took the train.. we waited to for the wrong one, and got on the wrong one! we ended up in the GHETTO about 30 minutes from our car! it was POURING rain and the train station was locked! we huddled into a little bus overhang until we could get someone to come and pick us up! it was pretty funny! and we all made it safe home! Sam is doing really well with work! he is such a hard worker and i am so proud of everything he has done! my job is good too especially because im not working as much! maybe at least one of us will keep our sanity now! well we hope all is well i will post pictures of all of our fun adventures on my next post! also if anyone is wanting to come to chicago this summer! we have a nice floor to sleep on! :) fill free to stay with us! love you all!
