A Welcome Visit

Fellow college students, you understand the horrors of April!  The assignments pile high, the part-time job seems terribly inconvenient, and relationships often feel strained.  Only four weeks lie between me and the end of the semester!  The to-do list seems unending.

 Last weekend, I enjoyed a welcome break from the overwhelming workload.  My mom visited downtown Chicago!  In addition to attending my two bridal showers in the span of two days, she treated me to an entire day of shopping and dining.  It was fabulous!




I enjoyed our time together!  My mother is a strong woman, and I appreciate her wisdom and encouragement.

    i love the large slices of fruit that they gave you for your side. Certain places can be so skimpy with the fruit :(. AND a day of shopping and dining sounds like a fantasy. haha. What a blessing to just relax and eat and be with someone you love in the midst of school and work. Thanks for sharing FAITH!

    Mother daughter time is really special! It sounds like you had a really wonderful time. And I agree about the craziness of April. Once the weather gets warm, people start wanting to do more, and all the activities can get overwhelming!
