Chi-Town & such:

Hello- My name is alyx, and I figured I might actually contribute to this 'family' site.

So, as a few of you know or have heard, I recently made a trek to the ever popular town of Chicago.

I was able to stay with Amelia (Matthew's girlfriend) in her apartment. The three of us were able to go to a gourmet restaurant, see a show at Second City (the birth of many Saturday night live characters), and shopped. It snowed while I was there as well, so that of course was an amazing treat.

We were also lucky enough to win a raffle, and got 3 front row seats(in the very center) to Wicked (a popular Broadway show that is currently on tour). The seats usually go for a couple hundred bucks, but we were able to view the show from the best seats in the house for $25 a person! Yay! It was my first Broadway show- ever. So that was an incredible experience for sure.

I had a blast, and was able to spend some time with my family; it was a needed and very much enjoyed vacation.

Here are a few pictures I snapped along the way:
(the last one I am actually going to enter in a statewide art competition- wish me luck.)






I shall be adding more to this site soon, and I'll put up some more art or something.

till then-
Alyx.
