Yesterday we went on Senior Day with Hyles-Anderson College. It was a fun packed day that HAC planned for us and we enjoyed all of it! It was fun not knowing where we were going until we were almost at each stop. Great memories where made that will last a life time. 
Our first stop of the day was Cracker Barrel for an all you can eat buffet breakfast. They has tons of food including, pancakes, french toast, hash brown patties, cheesy potatoes, fruits, and much, much more. They even has slushies at 8am! It was a great way to start the long day 
ahead of us.
Our next stop was FBC to get a group picture taken with Dr. Schaap. After the group picture he stayed around to take individual pictures with couples or friends as well as sign the Hylander hats and Pennants we received. It was nice to get our picture taken with Dr. Schaap. At the end of the day they gave everyone a 4×6 picture of the group picture to take home with them.
After our stop at the church we were on our way to Soldier Field or a tour of the building, visitors lockers, and the field. They gave everyone time to take pictures on the field, which was fun. A couple was even engaged on the 50 yard line while we were there! It was neat to be on the field, but we felt bad for the guy who was going to have to fix all of the wet grass we trampled on!
Next, we were on to the Buckingham Fountain….which wasn’t on when we arrived. So, instead, our little group of friends decided to find the nearest Starbucks and walk there. At Starbucks Lisa ordered a medium size drink but received an extra-large drink with extra caramel in it. We used a friends gold card to pay for it and, we found out today, the cashier never charged us!
For lunch and dinner we were taken to Food Life at the Water Town Place Mall on Michigan Ave. It was really cool being able to go to all of the different food booths and ordering as much food as you wanted. They has all kinds of food from Chinese to southern to smoothies to crepes made right in front of you! After we were done eating we walked down Michigan Ave window shopping.
Our last stop was a roller rink, however, on our way there our bus blew a tire on the high way! So we sat on the highway 
for a while waiting for another bus to come rescue us. Once we got to the rink none of us wanted to roller skate so Scott Mercer talked the lady into letting us switch to put-putting for no extra cost! Put-putting turned out to be a highlight of the day. We took 3rd and 4th place, Lisa in last by 1 point.
We finally walked through our apartment door at 10:30pm, tired and ready for bed. It was a great day from beginning to end.
Hello Everyone! Well, Spring is finally here and we are thoroughly enjoying it! It has been in the 60′s and 70′s for the past few weeks here. (My (Lisa) favorite type of weather!) There is a beautiful park right down the road from our building which we have enjoyed several times already. We live in a very cozy area, perfect for walking and enjoying the sunshine. 
and Lisa went on a picnic with some friends of theirs. They visited a park where they got to see maple syrup made the old fashioned way, took a nice, long hike, and explore an old saw mill! Another day we went to the sand dunes in Michigan City! We climbed up a super steep hill of sand and 
visited Lake Michigan for a bit! Later the same day Elisabeth treated us to Cold Stone Creamery Ice cream! It was so good! The Thursday of spring break Lisa and Elisabeth had some girlfriends over for lunch and a game day! We played 11 rounds of Scattergories, ate lots of food, and had a blast!
We celebrated Easter for the first time as a married couple! Josh received a Easter basket full of goodies and Lisa received beautiful pink and orange roses and lots of peeps. We had a nice dinner at home and enjoyed the church services at FBC.
