More Chronicles of My Chicago Visit

Hola Todas Las Personas!

Well I am leaving Chicago tomorrow but before I leave I want to update you on some of the things I have done here. Besides playing with amazingly cute Violet, many other things have happened.



First off I have to say that I tasted Indian food for the first time and I am sorry to all those who adore it but it was not my kind of food. I liked the simosas and the naan but besides that not much.


(Sorry it's not rotated)

Then after that adventure we gave Violet her very first bath and I think she learned to hate it.





Then we went to this fun place called the T-shirt Deli and made our own shirts here is my lovely one:

Then Heath made one for Violet. It is a jersey for their church softball team that says Res Cov on the back. Res Cov is their church (Resurrection Covenant).


Then I went on Heath's boat tours. This summer he has given architectural tours of Chicago on the Chicago River and Lake Michigan. He is a very good tour guide.






Then after grabbing a brownie sundae at the Ghirardelli shop we headed over to his church's slowpitch softball game. I first pitched a little fastpitch and they were amazed and then I tried to play slowpitch. I wasn't bad but I think I will stick to the faster pace game. That has been my trip so far and Chicago has been amazing, it will be sad to leave it.

Peace Out

Greetings from Chicago!!!

Hey Friends and Fam!!!

I am writing this from my brother's condo in Chicago. I flew into Chicago on Thursday and I am flying out again on thursday. The few days that I have been here have been very humid but very fun. I watched Heath and Thais play slowpitch softball on Thursday and supposedly I am playing in the game on Tuesday (I just can't get away from softball). The majority of my time has been spent loving Violet their new, extremely cute puppy. That is the focus of my blog today, her cuteness!!! Here are some pics of Violet and of Heath and I:





She is even cuter in person!! I will keep it short but just wanted to update you all on my life!!

My Sweatshirt/ T-shirt Collection

Hi Everybody!

Well as most of you know I play softball and that is basically my job. While being my job, it is also helping me with my college hunt. With almost any sport that is played at the competitive level once you reach your sophomore or junior year in high school you start to be recruited by colleges. This was an exciting new event for me and for my family (seeing as neither of my brothers played sports in college). Getting my first email, letter or phone from a college coach, especially one that I was interested in, was an amazing feeling. (The phone calls can be somewhat nerve-racking.)

With the recruiting process, it is necessary to take unofficial visits to the schools that interest you. That is what brings me to the subject of this entry. Along the way to my many visits we have made a collection of sweatshirts from each college. Although we have not got one from every school, my collection is growing. I thought I would share this collection with you. (Sorry I didn't rotate them.)



















I have also been to Notre Dame, Princeton, Georgetown, and Pomona College.


They are all great schools and it has been a difficult process but totally exciting!!!

Enjoy!
Mackensey

My First Entry: Welcome

Hello Family and Friends,

Well, being the younger sister of two amazing brothers who have both made blogs I decided to make one of my own. I did this not only because I feel totally left out of this new trend in our family but also so that my friends and family will be able to know all about my college search. I might also include entries when I finally leave for college but who knows if I will remember to do that. Well this is my first entry just to welcome you all into my crazy life. I hope you have fun!!

Love Mackensey
