Chicago Trip

Last weekend Josh and I took a trip to Chicago! We woke up at 3am and took a rental car all the way there. A 9 hour drive and 4 toll booths later... we FINALLY made it.

Because Josh is a Worship Leader for Harvest Bible Chapel, we had the opportunity to go to Chicago and help record the new Vertical Church CD.
Now before you get too excited, there were about 100 other people there too...not including the 2500 other people in the crowd!! We were in what they called the "Worship Pit". Basically, we were packed in liked sardines and got to jump around and worship like crazy. It was awesome. I can't wait to get the CD and DVD and try to pick myself out ;)

And of course, before we left we went downtown. I got some great pictures... but first, let me tell you why I will probably never go downtown ever again.
1. Parking. It was 25 dollars to park!! 25!!! No way.... Just no.
2. .... Well that was basically it. Just the parking.

It was suppose to be 75 degrees that day... and I swear it was 30 below. So I was out in jeans and a tank top, expecting to prance around by the lake and eat ice cream. Nope. We got hot coffee and as soon as that was gone we were RUNNING back to the car (which had to be a couple miles away). But... Despite the crazy cold wind and paying so much to park, we are so glad we went and got to experience the Navy Pier.

  I hope you all have a fantastic week!!!
