Where did May go?...

Well to Graduation weekends. Good weather, bad weather, and perfect weather. In the month of May I...

(1) started biking the city - I have always wanted to bike in the city and now I have, yesterday I biked up to Montrose Harbor (about 6 miles north or my apt) it was a beautiful day and I enjoyed every minute - except a few times I was scared the wind was going to blow my bike and me over :0) and I also bike to work!!

(2) walked in a Graduation - I didn't walk for my Associates or my Bachelors but did for my Master's. It was a wonderful weekend (- the weather). Both of my grandma's came up for it. I got to ride up with them and we stopped at cracker barrel on the way up - our waitress actually started crying when she heard that both my grandma's were going to be there for my graduation day - which was so special. I also had some good friends willing to sit through the hour and 1/2. It was a fun day full of friends and family.

(3) started to meet with a group of women here in the city on Tuesday nights. It has been wonderful to study the word together and get to know some more christians here in the city. This weekend we are going to an art fair and grilling out on Saturday.

(4) went to a Turkish festival at Daley Plaza which means summer is here and the festivals are coming back in full swing!

(5) started getting serious about running - I start official marathon training next week! My friend Natalie has been getting up with me around 5:45 to get our runs on! I love it once we are out - but I couldn't get up and motivated without her.

(6) Maggie and I have been enjoying this beautiful weather. Last night we went on a walk for a little over an hour - running into a guy trying to get TV reception on the sidewalk - he had a fairly large TV and was using an outlet that is used for Christmas lights in the winter (but it didn't last long soon the security guard had to ask him to move...)

(7) Finished another Science Project with one of the kids at our after school program. Every year it always creeps up on us and this year we tried to get the project moving sooner but sure enough a few days after it was due (TJ was able to get an extension) we were rushing to finish it up. I figured out I am not a science fair teacher... I can help put together but the actual meat of the project - NO THANK YOU :)

(8) discovered a fro-yo (frozen yogurt) place near our apt - so we are done with the cupcakes for the year time for the Frozen yogurt! I'm excited to check out some of the fro-yo places here in the city - possibly bike up to them!

(9) I was going for 10 things but I'm done so ... otherwise just enjoying the city - not sure about what is going to be happening in the next few months. I only have 3 more days with Cameron (this week and next) and a week in Florida visiting my Aunt!! I'm really excited to spend some time with her and on the beach!

Trusting in God's might and power and knowing He will speak but not sure how and when. Until then I continue to learn of His power and love in my life. I pray I can continue to share that no matter where I am.
