well, it's been so long since i've posted and so much has happened.  the big thing that i've been waiting on is SUMMER!  this is the worst time of year here in chicago-land because everywhere else summer is creeping in.........but here, it's still cold and rainy.  we had a few good days last month, but don't let that deceive you.  it's not time to pack up the jackets and such.  not till atleast june.  it's funny cause when people move here from warmer states, they make the mistake of packing up the winter junk as soon as we have a few good days and then they get blasted.  and don't let the fact that it's mid to late may fool you.  winter does not like to let go.  but it could be worse.  i still pulled out the flip flops today.  and if you are one of my oklahoma friends.........no need to rub it in.  i know it's been pretty nice there lately.  i just called someone a couple of days ago who was at the pool...... 

i know i'm a bad xanga user.  so i'll understand if no one ever reads or comments to me on xanga again.  i'm not dedicated enough.

happy may 18th.

hey everybody,

i'm sitting here by the fire drinking coffee at our church.  it's sweet.  if the weather sucks, and it usually does here, i recommend a fire.

we officially have a new roommate now!  our friend from oklahoma rolled into town yesterday and we are so glad to have him here.  he is really excited about his new job.

well, i don't have anything great to share.  no new revelations or thoughts.  honestly, it's 8am so it's hard to think about much right now.  i hate getting up early.  it makes my entire day suck.  maybe as i grow older this will change BUT i really doubt it.... 

how about you?
