long time no write

i'm currently sitting at my new desk from ikea at matt's apartment. well...sort of our apartment, but i don't pay rent yet, so i can't really call it that without being presumptuous. today i moved the last of my stuff in and i'm feeling pretty good about it. this will be the first time i live close to my family without having to live at home. and i get to be with gus and hairy all the time! oh yeah, and matt too. ;)

so gus is our new kitten. i got him for free from a family in almont and he's precious beyond words. he's around 8 weeks now and he got his first bath this morning. tore up my right hand pretty bad, but he smells pretty now. hairy wasn't too ecstatic about him for a few days, but he's adjusted rather quickly from what i've heard. they play and lick each other. hairy's not the most affectionate cat in the first place, but i think gus will have a positive impact.

i haven't updated this thing since the chicago trip, which was great. i got to see my lisha and be in my favorite city with my favorite boy. it was hot and sweaty, but we covered a lot of ground in the short time we were there. walked along michigan ave., saw millenium park, macy's foodlife, navy pier, shed aquarium, bits of wicker park, and ate saturday night at flat top with lisha. matt loved it and we're hoping to move there eventually. hopefully taking ken and bridgett with us.

last time i updated i had 2 jobs, now i have none. i don't really want to talk about it. lots of bad luck. boo. right now i'm looking for anything that'll put money in my pocket so i can start paying bills, ect.

lastly, i went to scott and emily's wedding reception saturday evening. they looked great and i loved emily's dress. the hall was beautiful and everyone had a lot of fun. at least i did. :) good friends, music, and free alcohol usually goes over well together.
