I wish every city would realize what a difference a flower arrangement makes. chicago27This girl was the reason we went there in the first place. She is posing in front of her new school – Loyola Law School. Chicago is going to be her new home for the next three years. I couldn’t be happier for her.chicago34Love the exposed brick and the hardwood floors in her new apartment, which she’ll share with two other girls.chicago6We worked hard to get her room ready.
