Not for the traffic.
Not for the wind (it's not called "the windy city" without just cause!).
Not for the food.
Not for the music.
Not for the beaches.
I love Chicago for the people.
I have been blessed to have met so many amazing, talented and beautiful people... Through my (short) time living in Chicago.
I can easily say that some of my best friends were made in the Chicagoland area, if not Chicago itself!
And some of my dearest friends are still there.
I miss that city and especially my people in Chicago.
And here's another reason to love Chicago - it's beautiful! And green. And apparently, within a half mile's walk - anyone in the city can get to a park or some green space. :)

And today is my Grandpa's birthday; he would have been 92 today.
I love you soooo much!

Hey Bethany!
I'm finally on here to see what's up w/ you in the DR Congo.
I love your beautiful, new blog format! I've not been able to visit it for a super-long time, so you've probably had it for awhile. At any rate, it's beautiful and well-organized!
I, too, love Chicago, and I hope I end up living there, at some point in my life! We shall see.
And what a beautiful shout-out to your grandpa. How sweet!
Thanks girls. You're both so sweet :)
Audra - I love you too!
Mandy - I hope one day you do get to live in Chicago. I know you'd love it - especially given how much you've loved visiting it! :)
