Chicago Survey Trip - 2007


We flew in to Chicago on Friday Night. We got a SWEET rental car, a Nissan , Morano - AWD :o) We are loving it! Friday and Saturday night we stayed with some friends of Jamie and Stacie Potts. They were really very helpful!

Saturday, the 17th , we went into Deerfield to see the Tinity International University. We met Jeremy and Sarah Brown who drove out for the " Taste of Trinity" Days.

** After lunch, Tim and I drove around until about 5pm Apartment searching in the Deerfield and surrounding areas.
Lastly, we went into the city of Chicago, and walked around on the city on Rush street and Milwaukee Ave.

** We went to dinner at the "Grande Lux Cafe"- It was amazing! We ate dinner in the second floor rotunda, overlooking the city. It was gorgeous! I had a signature shrimp scampi and Tim had a shrimp, chicken, and rice meal. It was so fabulous! I don't have pics, because the camera ran out of batteries, but here is the website if you want to see what it was like :o) Click here on www.grandluxcafe.com

Following will be some apartments that we looked at in the area. I will be specifically posting these for family, and friends who are interested :o)




This one is my favorite so far... a bit pricey, but they all are in Chicagoland! It has one bedroom with a nook for Tim's office. It's very spacious and nice looking!

Very much like a hotel entrance and lobby and hallways.


laundary facilities on second and third floors


There is the nook for Tim's office :o)
You can't see it, but we can fit a small table over in the right of the kitchen
The sink is outside of the bathroom .
Hope you enjoyed! Let me know what you think! Tomorrow is job hunting. I have put together my portfolio and I am dropping it off and meeting with administrators all day tomorrw :o) Pray all goes well!
See you all VA Beachers soon!

Here are some fun pics of tim and I at lake michigan :o)

Nice hair cut Julie! I'm glad you had a nice trip. We'll have to get together and talk about your trip. We were praying for you, Tim, Jeremy, and Sarah. Hope everything works out for jobs and housing.

How exciting it must be to see the school and where you might be living. The apartment looks like a step up from your first apartment at Oak Grove -- not that there is anything wrong with Oak Grove as we lived there for two years as well but it didn't look like those pictures.

YEAH! I'm so excited for you! Great picutes! We'll have to get together soon to discuss it more! Praying for you guys!

It was good to see you too last night. When you get a chance you have to tell your whole airport story. Definetly good blogging material! :) (but sorry it happened)

S said...

p.s. sorry to bombard you with comments (but i don't have your email). sometime I'd love a jewelry lesson from you. i know the basics but have some more questions. katrina would probably love to learn more too, b/c she just got some new beads. i'm sure you're swamped right now, but if you ever have a chance, email me at ssconley@gmail.com and we can get together!
