Last weekend 9 of us traveled to the wonderful windy city of Chicago for AGD's first film festival. A few of our friends have been to this festival and loved it! So we all decided to make


a weekend of it (they even invited the girls!!!). We headed out to the Mid - West on Thursday evening got in late and for the rest of the weekend we watched movies!!! AGD had two screanings - Friday night was an okay turn out, it was raining and it was the first day of the festival. The second showing was Saturday at 4:00 and the turn out was AMAZING -- over


100 people joined us! The audiance loved it! They also loved the members from the 501st - (as you can see in the pictures) .





The weekend was a great success - We are still waiting to hear where we placed. The hunt for Wii's was on all weekend... with a great success story of Jeff getting his very own Wii - and Ben buying more than he needs... lets all cross our fingers and hope he sells them soon!!!





We also had the chance to catch up with a dear friend Missy Moreno. She is living in Chicago right now trying to hopefully 'make it big'. She is so talented and is such an amazing person... We KNOW she will go far...!!





My cousin Rachel also visited us - with her new boyfriend!! I am so blessed to have 'caught' up with my younger cousin. We have not spent much time together due to her living in Chicago all my life... a couple of months ago my Grandfather passed away and she came in for the funeral... Needless to say I have not seen her since she was in diapers. Now she is a strong, beautiful Christian Woman! I am so blessed to call her family!





Not much else is new with the Shaffers. The rest of the month we hope to take it easy... We love our new place at the Waterfront! check back next week for some new pictures from the Birthday weekend!!!
