Chicago: The City That Taught Me How to Love

It seems like a huge and concrete wonderland. The city with strong wind is different from Winnipeg. The atmosphere is a combination of a little different culture and familiar tragedy. Like a quiet lord overlooking the farmers, shining lakeside, a green canopy shaking in the breeze, skyscrapers stand on the slums. This is the brick town behind the bone where the building is currently located. Welcome to Chicago Illinois I fell in love with the edge of the southwestern part of Lake Michigan. I slept on both sides of the sea and fell in love with the city.

As a human being, we quickly realized that we do not know how to love foreign countries and how to take care when living in the center of Chicago injured by gun violence. For the past seven years, foreigners have become friends, he has my whole soul, teaching, expanding, complex, diverse and beautiful whole world - people around me and me. During this journey, foreigners became a healing lip balm to spread out the space in my heart and learn more about God. While living in Seattle, Shane and I lived in the center of a multi ethnic community with Indian curry, clothing, and languages ​​world, and was walking along the street. Almost every continent 's children gathered in the park to play a soccer game with my milky Irish husband and me. We have learned a lot from neighbors who live in some of Seattle's least income and some of the poorest housing conditions. We celebrate and love the difference

When we left Chicago, we were extremely pleased to leave the city. Do not misunderstand - Chicago is a beautiful city with plenty of choices to choose from amongst the wonderful restaurants in particular. We like to live outside the big city, but I am a little irritated, we have to wait for over 3 years to start adventure in our house. In the lower state there are lots to offer in our university town - it reminds me that I live in Madison, Wisconsin (my partner and I met). I read and hear a lot of materials about small farmers and farmers. I do not want to wait for my partner to graduate, I would like to find a way to get started soon.
