It was a beautiful and miraculous first day in Chicago and I love it already! When I reached the baggage claim there was a helium ballon that said CONGRATULATIONS waiting for me! The family that I'm staying with got it for me to tell me congratulations for coming to Chicago! And they said that they didn't have any welcome ballons. To my utter happiness they untied the balloon and let me hold it. For some reason this was blissful for me. I would have included a picture but the balloon sneaked out of the car as we were packing the luggage. Now it is off on its own adventure too. We ate lunch at this incredible place called Nicky's which was phenomenal! Incredible pita bread!
This is the beautiful home I'm staying in until I find an apartment. I absolutely love the door color. The mother has great taste!
The backyard is gorgeous! I love this collage of suns that collect from all around the world!
I love these little copper lights too! So beautiful. And the family loves rust!! Ah, I was made to be here! There are little rusty things all over.
The street that I'm staying on doesn't have a sidewalk and everyone's house is different. Each house has its' own little character. The humidity was down and the temperature was perfect! I am incredible grateful for the family that I'm staying with and for their immense generosity.
I keep thinking of the scripture Alma 20:4. It say that in the strength of the Lord you can do all things. I have seen this and take reassurance of its' promise.
