Ode to Wisconsin

Yep...we're in Wisconsin...if you look close enough, you'll see what I mean!

KENOSHA! My Hometown

I was so excited to visit Kenosha. I hadn't been back since I left almost 6 years ago! It was even more special because I was able to show Devin all of the places that meant a lot to me as I grew up. We went to church all morning, brunch at an old family friend's house, drove all around town, and then had dinner at another family friend's house! It was a really good, tiring day!

Kenosha!

My Elementary School, Middle School, High School, the harbor, and the Lighthouse downtown

My hometown!

My house!

This is the house I grew up in...it was soooo sad because the new owners have completely neglected it and let the weeds grow out and let the paint chip and it doesn't look like the place it used to be! The park in the picture is right across the street from my house.

Fun at the Apartment

I spent an entire day cleaning Devin and the guys' apartment. There were four pairs of shoes blocking the entrance so I lined them up on the stairs so they wouldn't trip on them when they walk in the door.
The guys thought it would be funny if they brought out all of their shoes and lined the entire stairway with them...that's what you get when they have too much energy late at night! It was the perfect picture op too!

The Harley Store

It seems like everyone in Milwaukee has a Harley Davidson and Devin wishes more than anything he had his Harley out there with him! We found this Harley store with a giant motorcycle statue so I made Devin pull over so we could take pictures on it! We didn't see a sign that said stay off...but then again, we didn't look that hard :)

The Chicago Temple

We woke up at 5:30 in the morning and drove an hour and a half to attend the Chicago Temple. It was so amazing to be able to do that with Devin!
