• Less than 100 days til the wedding. We are in double digits people!
• I have been living here in CHI for 1 year now! Crazy! This also means I have almost been at my job for a year too.
• I actually got up and got all my errands done before noon today. Pretty good considering its a dark and rainy day that makes me just want to stay in bed.
• Next month I will be in sunny Florida with the 7 girls that have just 3 more months to put up with me!
• Followed by a visit from one of my good college friends. I cannot wait to see her!
• My fiance and I are finally living in the same state.
• The missing bridesmaid dress has been found. I have been searching for a dress I wore in a wedding last summer so I can wear it to one of the million weddings I have this summer. It has been recovered after several months!
• Kel and I have been using Netflix since he came back. Its a pretty good deal and all you have to do is put the dvd in the mail when you're done. One of the better inventions.

moms

Happy Mother's Day! Sadly, I won't see my mom. It's tough working and being grown up....

Here's what's been going on lately.....

• rsvps. we have gotten so many back already! its great!
• my solitary life is no longer. kel comes back to chicago tomorrow for good.
• cleaning. i have been on a major cleaning spree lately. including getting rid of 3 bags of clothes for charity.
• 3 mo til the wedding. its beginning to hit me.
• crazy summer. kel and i will be attending 7 of the 9 weddings we were invited to this summer (not including our own). not to mention all the other events related to our own wedding that we will be attending. along with the high school graduation of my baby brother.
• working. what a boring adult life

ok...

we have officially crossed the line. i really wish i was joking about this.

success

today was a good day. and some of you know its been a really long time since i have said that. to be honest, this week went pretty smoothly. i have been feeling good and staying positive in general. to begin today i woke up early, and was ok with it. again, for those of you that know me, you know that waking up early is usually not a good thing for me. watched my talk shows, the sun was shining and i had my balcony door open all day. over 80 degrees! how can that not make you happy?

got all my errands done before 11 am. wedding invites are out and i dealt with some very pleasant people at the post office today.maybe its because i was in such a good mood but ever since i moved here i don't think i've come across so many people that smiled at me.. but again, back to my statement about how 80 degree weather can affect people's attitudes.

decided to venture to the mall and to my surprise it wasn't busy. could be because it was too nice to be inside or that it was 11 am on a friday, either way, it was nice to park near the door. i enjoyed my few hours at the mall with no rush and got some good deals.

headed back home for some left over take out for lunch and then for a walk to take in all of the sunshine, every last bit. dinner with one of my favorite people followed by sad movie nite, marley and me and seven pounds. these choices were secondary to notorious. yup, we really wanted to see it and at the request of my fiance, we were to see it at a time when he was not around. apparently several people in chicagoland wanted to see it as well. good day, people, good day. hoping for the same tomorrow.

as i was leaving the post office, one of the workers noticed i was mailing wedding invites and asked if she could see my ring. i handed over my hand, she complimented my jewelry, and said, " my advice to you is just be happy. i wish you and your fiance happiness. and trust me, its much easier to be happier than unhappy. just remember that"

and that added to my good day.
