Well, what a busy 4th of July weekend. Friday, my friend Amanda and I walked/ran the Beecher 5K..... even though last year we said this year we were going to run the whole thing, we only really ran about 1/2 of it.... we needed to catch up with each other lives too ya know!!!! And how can you do that when you are running? haha.... Maybe next year I'll be able to run the whole thing....
But then later on in the afternoon, Matt was in the Beecher parade with the Grant Park firetruck. He was the driver, so I got a great view of my FIREMAN looking all hot in the fire truck!!! =) After the parade, I got to ride back in the fire truck back to Grant Park.... that was fun!
The rest of the weekend was pretty laid back, I had to take some family photos, Matt worked at church for awhile and then we went to JARED (yes, he went to Jared!) to pick out our wedding bands!!! To my surprise we both picked 'em out there and we were able to take 'em home that night! WOW! I thought we had to ORDER 'em and wait! After that little exciting adventure, we went to a new restuarant in Orland Park called Granite City.... it was my "christmas coupon book" dinner for matthew! =) I would recommend eating there... it was very tasty to me!
Now on a more serious note, I please ask all of you that read this to keep my soon-to-be Aunt Joyce in your prayers. It is a long story and I won't get into it on here, but she has a chance of having cancer and has not found out any results yet. She is definitely like a second mother to Matt and we just pray that God gives her the strength to get through this time right now.
