I have not had a chance to edit most of the 120 photos I took that day, but it was quite the experience. I hope to write a blog entry about it soon.<\/p>\n<p>2. I hosted a bridal shower for a friend, during which we made <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fascinator\" target=\"_blank\">fascinators<\/a> and were really quite fancy. I will be attending her wedding this weekend, which I really am looking forward to.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"the table by Sholeh, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/sholeh\/5779024493\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5228\/5779024493_3cab7408d9_m.jpg\" alt=\"the table\" width=\"240\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>3. My little sister graduated from high school with honors. I am incredibly proud of her, she worked very hard. The graduation nearly got evacuated because of severe thunderstorms, but we made it through.<\/p>\n<p>4. I attended the funeral of Gayle Woolson, a Knight of Baha&#8217;u&#8217;llah and wonderful person who lived in many countries in Latin and South America, on June 1st. She was nearly 98 years old when she passed away. I took public speaking classes with her when I was a child. The funeral was beautiful and such a testament to her nobility and sweet nature.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Gayle\" src=\"http:\/\/img.photobucket.com\/albums\/v92\/fireflyinthecity\/Blog\/Gayle.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"141\" height=\"219\" \/><\/p>\n<p>5. I threw a surprise party this past weekend which nearly got torpedoed at least 3 times, but in the end everything worked out.<\/p>\n<p>6. An adventure in Chicago with some friends, which really does merit its own post.<\/p>\n<p>7. Lots of new material over at Nineteen Months! A number of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nineteenmonths.com\/category\/views\/\">articles<\/a>, and a bunch of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nineteenmonths.com\/category\/visuals\/\" target=\"_blank\">photos<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Mixed in with all of this is my junior youth group, a Ruhi study group, and responsibilities with the Wilmette Local Spiritual Assembly. Plus all of the amazing visitors and dear friends who come through Chicago on a regular basis. Life is great here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is what has been happening&#8230;a glimpse into my (mostly) suburban life since we last spoke.
