well, we are officially on vacation.
a few weeks into our stay in lake geneva, we have finally hit our stride. we no longer have our bags half-unpacked. we no longer have lingering commitments in the city we are driving back to attend. we are used to chris being gone back in the city a few nights a week, and we are getting used to the pace of life here. it's slow.
so what have we been doing to bide our time?
we've been lingering at the breakfast bar.
and we've been seeing what happens when we blow bubbles into our own faces.
and we've been wearing floppy hats to the beach.
and we've been berated by lil' miss thang who thinks she was crowned princess of the public library (and is apparently the only one with the right to touch the big, stuffed tiger).
and we've been getting our coffee at a Starbucks where they stop listening to your order two specifications in (so that while my misto is in fact venti and is in fact made with white chocolate syrup, it is never non-fat, never extra hot, and never, ever foamy).
and with more certainty as to where we are living after this summer vacation, mama hill has had more peace of mind. a greater ability to take things in stride. and a sudden realization that this vacation will be over before i know it. it's time to soak it in.
and thus prompts the question: after all this where will we be living? with great excitement and a sense of peace only God can provide we've decided on home, sweet home, chicago. so, windy city, we'll see you again in august!
