Well, I made it home from Chicago all in one piece and had THE most amazing time ever!! I would have blogged about my trip while I was there, but when the opportunity presented itself at night to either stay in and sit at the computer or to go out on the town with the girls, well… obviously I chose the latter. =) I made quite a few new friends and we all exchanged emails and Facebook information so we can keep in touch and update each other on our lives and our “road to the boards.” It was almost like we had become family at the end of the week and it was really sad to leave.
The days were long, hard, and exhausting, but it was one of the most fascinating things I have ever done. I learned so much not only for my boards, but also for my own well-being and health. Cancer is quite a scary diagnosis, and it’s so rewarding to be involved in such a life saving career and to know that I am making a difference in these women’s (and sometimes men’s) lives. How many people can say they have a job saving lives every day?? (For those who don't know... I am getting my certification in mammography)
There was so much more to this trip, but it would take pages and pages to talk about. ;) Chicago is such a fun city, and I plan to take Greg back there again someday – not only to sightsee, but to eat the best pizza and hot dogs in the world!!
Below are a just few pictures of my trip. Enjoy!!
View of the city from my suite. Look at all the smog and traffic!

Another cool view of downtown.
Buckingham fountain. It soaked us when we turned around to walk to Lake Michigan.
Those of us who went into the city.
Our favorite store. 4 stories tall!
Sears Tower!
Tulips of every color imaginable were everywhere!

Sherri and I lived in Chicago for
2 1/2 Years. Your right there is a lot to see and not enough time to ever see it all. It is a Great city. But I don't believe it is a place I would want to spend the rest of my life. :)
