breakthrough ministries

last saturday i found myself serving at breakthrough ministries , as they celebrated opening a new, and may i say, amazing men's shelter. they threw a giant block party with entertainment, free food, games, and people. even the jesse white tumbling team came out!
there were tons of volunteers, kids, adults, and lots and lots of food. i got put in a food tent assembling and serving hamburgers and hot dogs and was at it for nearly five hours. i made some friends at my tent and with some folks from willow, the church i've started going to. i had a great time.

i've also had the pleasure of seeing my friends perform at iO a few times in the past few weeks, which is great fun in and of itself, not mentioning the el rides to and from wrigleyville. (cub games nights are the most frustrating, but somehow the most assuring).

classes are going just fine: we're starting the home stretch in both drawing and photo: discussing and getting the gears turning on final projects. woohoo! i'm definitely looking forward to getting these things done and i'm just as curious as anybody as to what form my projects will will take.

speaking of, these are from my sketchbook-



drawing cloth is still a hard thing for me, but i think i'm getting the hang of it. i really like the way the umbrella turned out!

i miss being with you all.
