Sorry for the lack of posts...

We had been using a more "economic" internet connection since relocating to Chi-Town and apparently our "internet provider" has discovered this and has since cut off our internet connection. That being said it should be clear why there have been no new posts.

There isn't a whole lot of new stuff going on here. Mark has an interview with the railroad on Wednesday...which we REALLY want him to get! My job is going well. I was crazy busy for a few weeks but now I spend a lot of time playing games and reading my book between projects. (By-the-way...the book is "Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson...it's a true story and it is incredible! Please read it! - ASHELA...YOU'D LOVE IT SO WHEN I'M DONE WITH IT I'M SENDING IT TO YOU!!!)

The weather out here is so great! The summers here are incredible! Just the right temperature at all times! However, the winter is supposedly HORRIBLE! So we'll see if I'm still singing the same tune next year. The city is alive...it sounds silly, but you can really feel it! We went out a couple weeks ago and found this park with really amazing art. We took some pictures of the HUGE metal flowers that look like big Lilys. They are probably about 6-7 feet from one side of the flower to the other and they are on "stems" that are about 15 feet tall! They are so pretty! Anyway...right after I took the pictures Mark pointed out a car door handle on one of the petals. I thought he was pulling my leg...cuz that's what he does. But he wasn't...the whole park was decorated with statues and art made out of recycled car parts! There is a moose statue in front of the Fidelity building made from recycled chrome bumpers!!! I am going to get a pic of the moose and I'll post the pics of this crazy art stuff if I don't forget about it.
