Program Runs quits with no errors

I am working through the 7th tutorial on LazyFoo's SDL tutorials on SDL http://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/index.php[^]. I have made sure that the header and library files are in the proper location in my SDL folder. I also have include all the dll's in the project folder with my exe. I tried commenting out all my return statements to see if one of the conditions was being tripped to return. everything looks fine but I cannot get the window to stay open and display the background with text on it. I am using codeblocks as my IDE.
