Chicago




We went to Chicago about three weeks ago. To the left, here we are on top of the Sears Tower. It used to be the tallest building in the world!

Hello

Christmas:
As many of you know the Crandell's are moving to Casa Grande BEFORE Christmas. We were wondering everbody's plans for Christmas. If you guys have any idea let us know. We will be flying into Arizona I believe on the 21st or 22st of December and we will be leaving a week later.

Well Hello there,I forgot our password and blog address so I had to create a new in order to keep up the demand of everybody's inquiries. Last time I blogged I spoke about Becky's first overnight shift. Since then, Becky has started working on a cardiac floor with her trainer Hye. She's some sort of Asian lady and is apparently very funny. I have never met her but she is supposed to teach Becky and me how to make better Sushi. I have started law school. All that I can say is that it is very tough and time consuming. If there was anyway to describe what it is like it would have to be this: imagine reading everyday some much that you feel as if your eyes are going to pop out, imagine your teachers not teaching you anything and yet still expect you to know the concepts as well as they do, picture being constantly consumed in the study of one thing that once you are done studying you really are not because you are thinking about examples of that one thing while sleeping. I can't help but look at everything I am learning and apply it to everyday life. For example, every time I go to the grocery store I think I just formed a bilateral contract while checking out in line. My favorite example, however, is while I am teaching Sunday School at church I break-out into the Socratic dialogue with my 16 year-old students. I even make them stand-up to speak. All this time, my law school grade is based on one test many of which are just one question. It can be pretty stressful, but it is do-able. I enjoy it and I feel that I am actually learning something that I will be able to use professionally. If I am distant is for this reason and I appolgize ahead of time. It will be very busy for me at lease for the next couple of years. Anyway, thank you all for your birthday wishes. Don't hesitate to visit. Becky and I are always commenting on how wonderful it would be to have more family come and visit. There are many beautiful sights in Michigan and if you want good college football action this is the place. Well sometimes. Well Becky and I Love you guys and we hope everything is moving along well. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you. Over and out.
