chicago
i'm back from my weekend in chicago with joyce and lindsay. i am thoroughly exhausted. it has been many months since i've had so little sleep! anyway, i had a good time with the girls - we got to do a lot of fun stuff as well as have some good conversations and just spend time together before lindsay gets married. we played some vball with joyce's friends (i am still slightly sore since i haven't played in almost a year!), did some hard core shopping at schaumburg mall (why don't they have an H&M in michigan?!), ate cuban/latin cuisine in downtown naperville (really yummy), watched a bunch of sailor moon episodes (including the really good one where darien and serena are in the elevator!), cooked dinner together, saw bethany dillon in concert, karaoke'd in k-town, had lunch with joyce's church friends, and had some jamba juice! all in all it was a good time. =)
i guess on top of all the fun i was able to reflect more on how my life and our friendship is changing, and how to deal with that. i guess change is never easy for anyone, it is a challenge to adjust to it and to remember what's important, and what's real. i'm realizing that there are some issues i haven't dealt with and only really think about when i'm in a certain surrounding and with certain people... it seems far removed from my daily life but it affects me more than i like to think. these are all things i'll have to think more about now that i'm at home and will return to my solitary lifestyle. it can be so easy to just live in a perpetual routine only to look back and realize you're not going anywhere or growing at all.
anyway, those are just some thoughts about chicago. glad to be back so i can sleep in my bed, although as usual the weekend was too short!
