long overdue.

long time no talk, blogg-ees.

so sorry i have been away for so long. we have a ton to catch up on! where to begin?

well... i had a birthday!

i celebrated my twenty fourth with good friends, good beer and a good baseball game [by good friends, i mean my besties the travelled from grand rapids AND kentucky! by good beer, i mean miller light & by a good baseball game, i mean a cold and rainy game where the cubs got spanked].

my madre came into town sunday and stayed the night in our box filled guest bedroom. she helped unpack a bit, and then took me shopping to get a couple things for the apartment :] it was so nice having her here to help with everything.

   

it was such a fun weekend :]

are you wondering about my presents?

well... i got the gorgeous watch & wallet from a., and the crate and barrel dishes from ma!

plus... a. found us an apartment! :D

it has 90% of everything that was on our short list. 2+ bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, open updated kitchen, washer & dryer, central air. the downside? garden unit.

BUT - we sucked it up [because we got a great deal], signed a lease and moved in two weeks ago!

   

so my life has been crazy with packing/unpacking/painting, in addition to working, trying to spend time together and with our friends. we still don't have everything done yet. but hopefully by the end of the month we will.

that's that for now. i have lots more to post a.k.a. two weeks worth of blogging ideas! so bare with me, and stay tuned :]
