North Carolina

I had a BLAST in North Carolina. Last time I was in North Carolina Robyn's house was robbed and everything stolen. We were insistent that this would be a less dramatic week. Well-- to make a long story short, Robyn's dog was held at gun point by a cop that showed up at the house looking for a felon. Her garage door broke and was threatening to fall on her car, keeping us from going anywhere for half the day. Her brother Blake barely escaped a very serious car accident on the freeway. Sandy, Robyn's roommate had an elevator fall three floors at her work--she wasn't in it. And we had a few medical issues arise. Needless to say we still had a blast. We pretty much always have fun, no matter what we do. However, next time, Robyn you come to visit me!












We've been friends since college and always have the time of our lives when we are together!













Robyn's brother Blake hung out with us almost every day! He has a great sense of humor that kept us laughing all week long! Robyn's roommate Sandy became a sweet friend as well. In the evenings we'd debrief our crazy days together. She even got to hang out with us a few times!












After church a group of Robyn's friends and I went out for Chinese food. It was yummy!














Starbucks...and essential part of our week.















One day Robyn had to work, so
I steamed her curtains in her office. :)












Robyn, PJ and I grabbing coffee












Thanks to the random coffee house guy we met--Brad--we learned about a great sushi restaurant that offered half priced sushi after 11pm! As a thank you, we invited him to come along.












It turned out to be a late night and amazing sushi! When we arrived at 10pm there was a line of about 40 people! We didnt even get in until midnight. But we had a bunch of fun anyway!












Blake trying to take my sushi












We ran into a friend of Robyn's who is in her MBA class. He gave me advice on my mac computer since he is employed by mac and apparently an expert.












Robyn, Brad, and Sandy loving the sushi!












College Basketball game party!












Wearing our teams colors. We cheered for different teams just to make things interesting.












Robyn's dad and I cheered for the same team. Our team won!













Thanks for an awesome week Robyn!!!!!

Chicago/Indiana












Im writing this post from an airport as Im leaving North Carolina! These however are the pictures from my Chicago and Indiana trip. We visited Moody Bible, stayed at the Geneva house, then drove to Fort Wayne and stayed with a dear friend, Laurie Doden. My mom and I rented a car, 2009 Ford Focus that had only 2.5miles on it!! By the end of the trip it was well over 500 miles!
