Glenview - part 2

Well, the next day.....
Made my way downstairs at around half 12 in time for lunch of the best salad I've ever had i think. It was really good. Shower.... etc later (4pm) we decided to bake. Went to the stores and bought ingredients. And made amazing food!

You get round pretzels and put them on a tray and then put hershey's hug in the middle of the circle. Then you bake them so that the chocolate melts and then using an m&m you push the chocolate down. They are reallllllyyyyy good! But too many make you feel a bit sick.

Started watching the Shawshank Redemption after that. It is a fab film(anything with Nelson Mandela in it is)! Very heart breaking though! And really intense. There is so much pain in the world and I KNOW that that is only a movie but i represents real people in the world. That hopeless state. I can't imagine a life without hope. The feeling that your best chance is to hang yourself. That is terrible. I wanted to help them all. I wanted to tell them about the hope I have that after you die it doesn't end. There is something worth living for - Jesus. He died for you. He became man so that you could have a better life and so that you can have the hope of an eternity spent in perfection. Nothing on this earth is perfect BUT there is hope that one day we will go to a world that makes sense. That has no pain and no hopelessness...



We stopped watching at dinner time and went to a thai restaurant. REALLY good food! By this point it was 8pm so we had to eat fast since the place closed at half 8. oops! haha! It was definitely an interesting day!

Home(or back to Christy's house!) and her friends came over. Now, that was hilarious. They were a really great group of people. I laughed a lot! We watched Love Actually(really don't like that movie but the company was good so it was fun anyway :) ). They left around 2 and then we finished off the Shawshank redmeption. Such an unexpected ending! You all should really watch it. You can learn some stuff about life. But it is very heart hurting!

Went to bed around 4am, after a very interesting chat about the bible and about God with Christy.

Next morning, I was up by around 11. Actually, I was up a while before then because someone called me. I felt sick to be up. Bed by 4 and someone called me at half 7. Yucks! Went back to sleep though and came down to have grilled cheese and some pretzel things for breakfast. :)

Didn't do much else before Christy's mum, Peggy, came back with the car at half 1 and Christy took me to the plane. Went via the office (they have a family business). It was fun to see. They make the presentation poster things that go behind a display. Don't know how to explain it really... :P It was interesting though...

And that was the end of my time in Glenview, Chicago. I really enjoyed my trip there. Next stop: Boston!
