Why Do I Miss Chicago?

So, this picture was taken less than 5 miles away from where I grew up! It was taken today, and as you can see, the snow and cold was a little more than miserable today! While this was taking place, I was at the park, pushing Kaelyn in a swing enjoying the 80 degree weather. So... Why do I miss Chicago???

I love Chicago. I may be a little biased, but I really think it is the best big city we have in America. I love the downtown area, and I just love the feeling of Chicago. Maybe it is my best friends that I still have there, that I miss dearly... Maybe it is the fact that my dad is there, who again, I miss tremendously! Whatever it is, for some reason, even after seeing this picture, I still miss Chicago!

Since moving to this concrete jungle known as Southern California, I have learned to appreciate Chicago more and more. In fact, when Jason, Kaelyn, and I went back there last summer, we were amazed at how curteous all the drivers were!?!?!? I never thought I would call a Chicago driver curteous!

So, you can have your 80 degree days, and conjested freeways. You can keep your smog, your glamour, and your high housing costs. Give me Chicago any day. Even today!
