Illinoise
As of 9am this morning, i'm an official illinois resident!! whoohoo! I finally got my illinois drivers license and it feels good. I had to take the written test because i was switching states but amazingly I only got one wrong.

the mystery's gone....so bring back the sun
blogger's block...it's the curse of the ordinary.
When things become a routine, it's hard to pull any one event from the day to talk about. I thought i was pretty good at doing such when I first moved to chicago because everything was so new, but lately, everything seems to fall in the ordinary category.
Never one to love indulging in the (n)ever-so-exciting minute-by-minute recount of my daily activities, I usually try to keep my posts to more interesting events of my day. Sadly, those crazy, interesting, and sometimes humorous 'i live in chicago' accounts have been at a minimum lately.
So, when all else fails...talk about the weather! ok...hmmm...it's starting to feel like fall again. Yay! i love fall. it is by far my favorite time of the year. When there gets to be a slight chill in the air a lot of people can only think about and dread the season that follows fall. But I say, Give Fall a CHANCE! no one likes to be looked over or ignored, so we should cut fall some slack. Fall usually lasts well into November or even December before winter gets really ugly, so....that means a good 3 more months of not hating life every time you step out the door.
Speaking of stepping out the door, this morning i really should have worn a jacket for my trek to the bus stop. But i was wearing a new sweater so even though it was a short sleeve sweater, i kinda felt invincible. I regretted my decision to bypass the jacket as I waited a good 15 minutes for the bus with a very crisp breeze blowing off lake michigan. but it was lovely. so refreshing. anytime the seasons change I'm in awe of how fast time passes.
I have to back track a sec: I really shouldn't cut my social life short. When i say 'those crazy, interesting, and sometimes humorous 'i live in chicago' accounts have been at a minimum lately' in no way am i saying that i have a boring, awful life. No way! My past few weeks have been filled with trips to both Iowa and Grand Rapids, MI where i was able to hang out with family and friends. my sisters came out to visit a few weeks ago, which was a blast! I was fortunate enough to be able to go wedding dress shopping with my sister Becky over labor day weekend and it was so fun. overwhelming, yes, but I'm not the one who has to make the decisions :) Last weekend was spent in grand rapids visiting sar....so fun. it's always to long and far between when we get to hang out. I'm going out to dinner with a friend on thursday and to 6 flags this saturday....and I can see where all this talk is heading....right to the dreadful daily update i try to avoid.
so here, i end it. cheers!
