Chicago temple.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to go to the with the mister this past weekend.

We are so blessed to be so close and make the trip in one day.

It was a wonderful experience, 

and every time we go,

all our wedding memories come back to us. 

(Two months away from our year anniversary!)

We left for Chicago around 11:00 our time

made it to the temple at 1:00 their time 

and then picnicked!

After our delightful picnic,

we went through the temple,

I just can't get over how wonderful it is,

to be completely at peace and encircled in the spirit.

There is no better feeling than to stand next to Curt in the temple,

knowing that we are sealed for all eternity,

and eventually our little kiddies will be too.

I hope one day that our baby Curts and Vanessas will experience this one day too.

Until then,

we will keep doing the best we can in centering our lives on Christ.

 

 

It's just so beautiful!

And of course, 

afterwards its required to stop at Portillo's.

Chicago style dogs and italian beef and their amazing cake shake.

We are always so stuffed on the way home,

but a good stuffed.

Gosh, I'm hungry now.

Afterwards this delightful trip,

we topped it with Jumanji!

That movie still freaks me out,

I don't know how kids can handle it without peeing their pants.

In conclusion, this past weekend was tough to beat.
