In Chicago

We made it safely to Chicago! Tonight will be our first night here. We broke up the drive by stopping in Springfield to see Lincoln's home and tomb.





We tried a Chicago stuffed crust pizza for the first time (by accident) for dinner and were surprised by the sheer amount a of inside. Finally, after a good swim in the hotel's remarkably warm pool, we got the kids to eventually settle down and everyone was able to quiet down enough for Walter to fall asleep.

Earlier this week, work proved challenging with a customer accusing my assistant, Rob, of stealing, and the security footage making his actions questionsble at best. A verdict about a police officer shooting a black man upset the community enough to have workers and schools shut down early and the national guard on hand to lock down downtown St Louis.

Other than that, this past week has felt clam enough, like most other weeks, with fall steadily growing closer and general conference just around the corner. Here's to hoping everyone is able to sleep well enough outside of their normal, familiar environment.
