Chicago, That's (not) My Home Town!
Lyle and I trying to "relax our minds" during a round of Mindball. It was weird.
Last weekend, Emily and I had a great (as you can obviously tell from this photo) time visiting our good friends Lyle and Tiffany Cruse, as well as Jeremy and Ashley Elliott. There were also some guest appearances by Lee Rowell, Eric Heater, and Hailey Morris. It was SO FUN getting to hang out with everyone again in Lyle and Tiffany's apartment, my home-away-from-home during my last years at Moody.
We always love running around the city of Chicago, and this weekend was no exception, but what we mainly loved was being near our old friends whom we wish we could see more often. It's crazy to think how much has happened in all of our lives over the last couple of years, and it's exciting to see where God is taking all of us! But we still miss regularly spending time with each other. We had some good times reminiscing. Crazy that me, Jeremy, and Lyle have been so close for more than ten years now!
It was also a testament to God's faithfulness. It's truly amazing to see how He has used us in each others' lives throughout these years, in ways that we never could've guessed or planned while we were filming crappy "horror" movies in Lyle's basement during blizzards, or jumping into a nearly frozen swimming pool in the middle of winter. Now that the three of us are all "grown-up", it's great to be able to encourage each other as we find ourselves married to amazing women, studying theology, and doing youth ministry. God is SO good!
