New Place, Weddings and Other Such Things

It's been a busy few weeks here for us in Minnesota. We finally got enough money together to get an apartment of our own (thankfully it was reasonably close to our storage unit!) so we got to move out of our friend's house after about a month and a half. I am so thankful to them for all their help and support in getting our feet underneath us and moving forward. We are very grateful.

Our New Place is pretty awesome. It's a two bedroom place, about a room and a half bigger than our apartment in Chicago, on the third floor (no neighbors above us to stomp and scream, like we both have had problems with before). So we're still settling in, and it's been about a week. We are almost all done, and we're just gobsmacked about how much space we have. Before, we had almost none, and now we've got an excess of it. It's nice, but it makes me feel like I'll have to buy more furniture.

My cousin Jill got married to a wonderful guy last weekend, and Tim and I had the honor of coming up to see it. I'm so glad we took the time off to go, because it was an absolute blast. Before the reception and after the wedding we went for a walk down the Grand River, and while on a bridge we turned to look and suddenly we saw Jill and Jim taking pictures. Of course, being the oddballs my family are, we whistled and hollered and somehow got the attention of the photographer, and then we started waving like lunatics. I think the photographer took a few pictures of us waving at them, which I think is sweet and funny. I wonder if they'll turn out or not.

Not much other news. Just a lot of little things.

The photographer did take a few pics - of us waving to you, and just with you in the background : ) We'll have to see how they turn out!
