Day 2 in Chi-town started off rather early for us west-siders. My cousins and I hit up The SprinkBrook Golf Course in Naperville. Tee time was 7:18am CST (5:18am for me) for the back 9.
Had some delicious homemade burnt bacon and sausage and off to the course we went.
Course was a beaut. The public [...]

This past Monday (July 13th) marks exactly 2 months before my scheduled half-marathon in the 13th Annual Chicago Half-Marathon/5k near beautiful Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. I’m still deciding on whether or not by body will survive a half marathon. I don’t want to do it all alone so I’ve been slowly recruiting my family and relatives [...]

After church, we picked up some food at our new favorite Chinese restaurant, [...]

And we all got dumped on, the mountains and the low lands. Roads were horrendous for days because cities [...]

It’s been a while so I wanted to drop an update on the ol’ bloggy blog.
November was a crazy month but it’s 5am right now so my organizational skills with writing a post might go out the door but I’ll give it my best shot.
In late October, Halloween week, I joined a Microsoft Flag Football [...]

My sister, Janelle, and Girold gave birth to a healthy baby girl today at Evergreen Hospital at 7:40 am ish this morning. Cute cute little baby – only took three pushes to get that 6 lb’er out. Myra and I went over to visit around 11 after we heard the news. Apparently little Alexis wanted [...]

Today’s the day Howard and Tina got married.
Woke up again with a sore, itchy, and scratchy throat. Wonderful. We got ready, early surprisingly we (Myra, Venus, and I) rolled to the Ranch Golf Club. We were actually early…again.
Wedding ceremony was short and sweet, and was followed by the cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. We got some [...]
