Jazz Faces

This past weekend a good college friend flew up to visit me.
So we made plans to head downtown and visit a jazz club -

something I've been wanting to do since I moved up here in August.

Reservations were made, we got all dolled up 

and hopped on the train from Winfield to Downtown...

I love to listen to jazz, but I think it's even better live

I think this because of the
JAZZ FACES

Dear Seniors,

"Living Out LeaderTreks"  - A series on the core values and leadership principles of LeaderTreks. I'll share how they are lived out in the company and in my own life.  To start from the beginning click here  


This time last year I had 2 papers left in my undergraduate career
and totally did not feel like completing them.

The difficult thing about the "end" of college is that even though you walk across the stage at the same time, you don't finish working at the same time. Most of my friends were already celebrating and I was staring down the barrel of a 10 pages of paper writing.

So my fellow sufferers (AnnaCarol & Kendall) and I gathered in my apartment living room to work on our final college papers. 

I complained,

procrastinated,

ate Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream,

wrote a sentence

and repeated.

We stayed up till 3 AM writing together. 

I enjoyed the company and I love the memory,

 but I know that it wasn't the strongest finish I could have given.

FINISH STRONG

Stories of the Young and Old

I love when God builds moment upon moment in what He is trying to tell me for the day.
Every Sunday I'm in Chicago I get up a little bit earlier than necessary and head to Starbucks for a date before church. Sometimes I've got girlfriends with me, but I've always got God and I really value this time.
