Dan and I are now going through the normal separation anxiety from the suburban life we used to lead. It takes forever (i mean forever) to get anywhere, including the grocery! This means less done in more time, but besides this weekend, I have been handling it well. Hopefully I can continue to handle it well :)
Life is busy here in Chicago. Dan is working on finishing his thesis and racking up overtime so we can take our honeymoon. I am going to school and working at the Chicago Opera Theater as their Education Intern. School is ok, its school, but COT I love! I get to go into the schools with their outreach programs and meet the coolest people. Check out their blog here (cotoperaforall.blogspot.com) and I have even written a couple posts!
Last weekend we got tons of stuff done for the wedding (including picking out our wedding bands, yay!) and did fun things too. Dan took me to stand outside for 2 hours to wait for hot dogs at a place called Hot Doug's.
The hot dogs and fries were good, but man was I cold! We then went to Target, which made everything ok!
Sunday we cheered on the Chicago Marathoners for 2 hours! It was just so much fun watching them go by and our neighborhood is so great and had music and dancers to entertain the runners as they went by. I just didnt understand the magnitude of the Marathon here. 45ooo runners! That is just a lot.
Of course the entire weekend wasnt fun, I did loose my hard drive on my iMac, so when I beg you for picture files I lost, be patient with me :)
We are looking forward to celebrating Dan's birthday this weekend with homework, thesis, apple picking, and bbq! Should be a great weekend.
Maybe we will blog about it :)
