It's Spring...who knew?

Studying consumed my life, so it's been so long since I updated who knows if anyone will even read this. Oh well, here goes. It is April in Chicago. It is finally warm enough some days to remind you that it will eventually be nice. I am finally done studying, and it feels great. So great to have some time again. Friday I finally caught up on many of the things I had been putting off: cleaned my room and my car, and did laundry. It was great.

Saturday I headed up to Milwaukee to visit Kathy and Bilhenry. It's always great to see them, and it was really fun to get to go to the church where Kathy has been the interim pastor. They took me to the art institute, which is always exciting. On Sunday the Easter bunny even came! All in all, it was just great to see them and really great to be up in Milwaukee.

Now on to this weekend. My aunt Kathy is flying in from California to Chicago on Thursday night. We will hang out Thursday night/Friday morning, then head to Galena, IL for Joe's wedding. Should be pretty exciting, sounds like there will be a good Shields family and friends turnout.

That's about all I've got for now. I will try to get back in the swing of things and write here once in a while!

Nora! Pass on congratulations to your parents and brother from us!

Just wanted to let you know that at least one person is still reading this (and I assume Diane is too).

We miss you up here in Minnesota, but are glad to hear that it sounds like all is well in Chicago! My mom was super thrilled to have you there for Easter, so I'm glad you could make it :)
