Good Times in CHI town

Scott & I were able to escape this past weekend and fly up to Chicago to see Steph's brother. We had a blast while helping him decorate his new condo.

A little decor a little GRIP, and a new girl.

But, most of all it was awesome to see Nate's work in ministry in downtown Chicago (Cabrini Green), not only has he moved in "their" hood but he has found a way to be closer to "his" kids and be a coach to these "fatherless" boys and girls. What an impact he has made in so many lives. I was so excited to see God's work in Nate's life. Keep in up Man! ( Com' On now!)

My brother Nate and his new "friend" Amy (BTW Amy works for Oprah (HARPO productions), how cool is that!
The condo, with some new flair

Pasta & Wine Night!!

To celebrate our many long runs, Judy S. had the "running" gals over for dinner. What a fun evening...a little wine, a little pasta, and a little pitch (yeah..yeah..I know I cannot play) It was fun to get together with the girls, other than at 5:30am on Saturday mornings for a run Thanks Judy for a great night! O.K. Judy, I know your eyes are shut..I asked your husband to take another pic, but NO he thought we were good! Sorry sweetie

Sweet Sissy's...and so cute to boot!
The original Shay..we love ya! BTW who is the HOT chic in the background!

KSU vs. Montana 69-10...need I say more

It was military appreciation day at the KSU game Saturday, so we decided to bring all 3 kids. They all had a lot of fun, and the girls are ready for the next game. (Brownie Bear from Karli's Kindergarten class, had to attend the game, also)
