Greg came to Chicago, so today we got to frolic around the city together. We went to many fun places and got caught in the rain and it was a very good day. I think one of the best places we explored was the Fourth Presbyterian Church on Michigan Avenue. (A little history for you: the original church was built in the 1800's but burned down in the Chicago fire. This church was finished and open in 1914. Also, I take no credit for that picture.) Anyway, I always love to walk around the courtyard and look at the gargoyles, the old fountain, and the statues and their engravings. There's ivy growing up the stone walls and delicate flowers and perfectly green plants and grass. It is so beautiful on the outside, especially at Christmastime when the lights are up. I had never actually been inside the church until today. Greg and I went in just as a service was letting out and the sanctuary was absolutely beautiful. It's so old and majestic, with intricate detailing everywhere, beautiful stain glass windows, and a high, sloped wood ceiling. It was a strange feeling, to be in such an old, sacred place and to look outside and see the modern world passing by.
In other news, the job I almost had ended up not being mine. This means that I am mighty poor.
After hanging out with Greg today, I want to go back to school.
It's only June 8th. Ha.

I'm glad you had so much fun!! All the talk of these adventures makes me miss you guys even more!!
Just when I was starting to enjoy summer, I think that I want to be back at school, too.
I'm not sure if wanting change is a good thing or a bad thing...
I love you!!!
