Michigan Lake

Went down to Michigan Lake just killing some time... it was not what i was expecting. It was really cool. It looks like an ocean, there was really nice sand and docks and everything. We cant wait until it gets a lot warmer and spend some more time there. We were thinking about maybe going fishing or renting some jet skis!! Anyway i need to update more often but i havent had much to talk about besides vent about some things that are really getting on my nerves! I think i will anyway.. sorry

1. There are no lights in the living room or bedroom of our apartment! Yup! The ceiling is empty!! Dont ask why, i have no clue...

2. We have to pay to use the washer and dryer downstairs... $1.25 EACH

3. There are not any microwaves, i keep buying things at the store to just throw in the microwave and i pull it out and im like "crap"! The other day i tried cooking a hot pocket in the toaster. Yeah it doesnt work...

4. We cant get dish in our apartment. The apartment will not let us put a dish on the building and we cant get reception from the balcony. So its back the antenna and court shows all day.

5. Our apartments are animal approved so you better watch where your walking or you will step in dog poo! Its everywhere! And who ever lived in our apartment before us had a dog and its hair is all over the carpet.. so gross. And of course we dont have a vacuum.

7.KEYS! We have to unlock a door to get into our building with one key.. get our mail with another.. get into the gym/pool with another... pay for the laundry machines with another... and get into our actual apartment with another! And not to mention that the apx office is in another building that we go in and out of all day so we have to call someone to let us in.

8. Drivers are ridiculous here. They do not care about anyone but themselves. They like to make their own lanes and stop in the middle of the road for no reason. And the roads are terrible... just replaced our front tire on sunday from hitting a pot hole the night before. It split a huge hole in the tire!

9. Im growing out of all my clothes!! :'( I feel so huge and unattractive! It doesnt help that all i brought were summer clothes and it happens to be an average of 40 degrees since we have been here!

10. I havent felt the baby move yet. I get more and more anxious just waiting. Thinking that every little movement could have been it but who knows i have no idea what im looking for.

Feels good to get off my chest! Ha... Here are some pics of the lake...

Chicago Temple


Announcement: 1 April 1981


Groundbreaking and Site Dedication: 13 August 1983 by Gordon B. Hinckley


Public Open House: 15 July–3 August 1985


Dedication: 9–13 August 1985 by Gordon B. Hinckley


Rededication: 8 October 1989 by Gordon B. Hinckley (addition only)


The Chicago Illinois Temple is the first of the operating temples built in the Midwest and the second latter-day temple built in Illinois, following the Nauvoo Temple (1846).
The Chicago Illinois Temple is a sister building to the Boise Idaho Temple and the Dallas Texas Temple.

The Chicago Illinois Temple closed in September 1988 for remodeling that more than doubled its size. The office area was expanded, a sealing room and cafeteria added, and the baptistry relocated and enlarged.

On Christmas Eve of 2008, a frozen ceiling sprinkler pipe burst inside the Chicago Illinois Temple, causing extensive water damage. An army of craftsmen from as far away as New Mexico replaced all of the carpet, replaced over 2,000 feet of wood trim, and replaced or reupholstered most of the furniture in just two months.

Pictures...

Bathroom is a pretty good size. You cant really tell here
Two closets! Which is nice but i hardly even brought any clothes so kinda pointless...

Kitchen is pretty small, kinda hard to take a picture of...








Jebb zoned into his game.. ha






Lovely empty living room

Found out the Gender!!

We finally got all our stuff out of our place thanks the EVERYONE that helped! Thanks so much! And also in the middle of all our craziness today we got our ultrasound! Yay! It was so awesome to see the baby, it makes it way more real. He was so cute all curled up and sucking his thumb. Dont ask what we are going to name him. We hvae no idea, we have a hard time finding ones we both like. But i guess we have all summer to decide! And most of you were wrong for the sex prediction! Although i was hoping for a girl im really excited its a boy! Jebb couldnt be happier, thats what he was hoping for all along!
