this morning i was suckered into going on the relief society temple trip, but of course i would go because 1. with the temple being so far away i definitely don't go enough and 2. when your friend texts you like 20 times in a two day period begging you to go, you just go. (hahaha, only for jenna) so we meet up at 8:30am for a little bagel snack and then we head down to chicago to make the 11am session. well, let's just say our gps devices were acting up and we arrived at our destination a little late, only to realize that we were at some random park under a train park and ride in a weird ethnic suburb of chicago. what?
this picture does not really capture the ghetto-ness of our location. imagine a few shopping carts full of garbage and one with a surfboard, a few broken down cars and a bounce house/ possible seen of a shooting. it was crazy! cop cars everywhere, ambulances and sirens blaring. we eventually made it to the actual temple (which is located in a very safe neighborhood, don't worry mom!)
we ended up all finishing at the same time and we reunited in the dressing room. phew! here are most of the girls that were at the temple. we took this picture moments before some crazy storm hit so we booked it to corner bakery and had a nice relaxing lunch. we finally made it back to milwaukee at 4pm!! i've never had such a long temple trip, but it was great getting to catch up with some of the girls in relief society. i bet jenna will never drive with me anywhere again!!

Oh my gosh girl.. What an exhausting day! And just to clear things up.. I texted you 18 times. Let's get the facts straight. :) Thanks again for coming with me AND driving. I do think we fit in well with the fellow ghetto folk. I am now asking for a cane gun for my birthday. HA. Oh the memories.
first of all, you look so young in your photos! seriously. i'd say you were just shy of 22 in those! secondly, why did someone at that ghetto park have a surf board...?
Whoa - that sky looks crazy. And while the surfboard disturbs me, I'm mostly bothered that a shooting may or may not have occurred at the bounce house. They should at least have the decency to take it to a back alley somewhere.
